Wildpeak MT's How bad is the road noise?

[Ar4130]

I am considering picking up a set of Mojave takeoffs with some Wildpeak MT's.
I am curious about how loud they are and if I should look for some AT's instead.

Anyone running the MT's? Do you like them? Pretty Noisy?

Thanks

I picked up a set of Mojave take offs last year with the MTs. Replaced a set of stock Sport S wheels and tires. Honestly I didn't notice much of a difference. Much quieter than my last Jeep, an LJ on 35 mud tires. LTs will be slightly quieter but I found my JT tracked better than with the stock tires.
If the tires you are looking at are still on the Mojave, see if the seller will take you for a spin and you can hear for yourself. If they aren't, check your local dealer for a Mojave and drive it. Just a suggestion. I think you would be happy with the set.

Best of luck to you.

I've got the 33" Falken MT's on my wife's Jeep and General Grabber X3's (35") on my Jeep. The Falkens are MUCH quieter. It isn't even close. I think they are the quietest mud tires I've ever known. I've had BFG KMs and KM2s, as well.

My brother has the Falkens in a 35 and they're as quiet as the 33's.

Remember, no mud tire is quiet. But these are easily the quietest I've found.

But if it is a big worry, go with an AT. I've gone everywhere with KO2's on my Jeep that I've gone with the X3's. In mud I've had to work harder to get through, but they did the job. Everywhere else they do every bit as well, except they do it quietly. And with less rolling resistance, so with slightly better fuel economy.

They are actually pretty quiet for an MT on most surfaces, until they wear down a bit. Mine started getting louder at about 10-11k.

I'm a little surprised to hear all the "they're pretty quiet" answers. I drove a JT a while back with them and could not get over how loud they were. I found them to be louder than the half worn Cooper stt pros on my JK. The JTRD I just bought has the Falken AT3W and I love how quiet they are. Yes, I'm getting old.

I'm in the exact same situation as DanW. Falken MT on JLU, X3 on JT. They're both a little noisy as you slow down around 10mph to a stop and you feel the lugs. But at normal speeds I really don't see either being an issue. The JLU is a soft-top and we converse just fine. Whatever noise there is, you'll quickly get used to. It's part of the adventure.

I went from the Falcon MT's to the AT's. Not so much due to noise, they are louder, but more so because of how rough the MT's were. Seems like I could feel the knobbies. Couldn't get used to it.

While the Grabber X3's are the noisiest mud tire I've owned, they are also the smoothest riding. They are the C rated 35" version, which are hard to find. I think they are even smoother than the C rated 35" KO2s I had before, which I thought were incredibly smooth.

The 33" Falken MT's on my wife's JLUR are pretty smooth, too, but again, they are really quiet. My brother has E rated 35" Falken MT's on his Gladiator but it still feels pretty smooth. I think the Gladiator's long wheelbase helps but I also think the Mopar lift smoothes things out, too.

I do love the X3's, but if Falken made an MT in 35" size with a C load rating, I'd have to give it a look just to quiet things down a little.

The good news is there are lots of choices of good tires, if you can find them. It took 3 months to get the X3's and would have taken up to 6 months if I hadn't gotten lucky. @Discount Tire found a set of 5 in a warehouse in Vegas and shipped them up here for me.

I don’t really notice much noise from them beyond the bit of rumble when coming to a stop. But I only have 2000 miles on mine. I think the wind noise overwhelms the tire noise most of the time.

I have them in 37's and I love them. They've performed excellent with everything I've thrown at them, and they're very quiet. I've done two +1,000 mile trips with them and haven't been driven mad by the typical MT drone. I honestly hear more wind noise from the light bar than I do the tires. I highly recommend them, I just wish they were about 10lbs per tire lighter.

They came stock on my JTR, and I loved them. I was bummed that I couldn't find them in 37's when I upgraded. I put my stock wheels/tires on my daughter's JKU and she loves them.

Had Wildpeak MT's on my jtr and was pretty impressed with the noise level. I did not say how quiet they were, they are m/t's. My first set of m/t's but you get use to the sound. I have since put some Cooper stt pro m/t's which are quieter than the wildpeak at interstate speeds, lower pitch i think. If you wheel in soft dirt and mud you will love the m/t's

Nice truck. Love the wheel/tire combo. I'm not usually a fan of the white letters out, but it looks great on your rig.

That is one gorgeous Jeep, btw! WOW!
