    Any suggestions?

    I am a medical device rep and use my Taco to drive to accounts, approximately 40k per year. I need to be able to talk on the phone hands-free without yelling.

    Thanks in advance!

    I plan on going with the BFG A/T KO2. From my research they are a stout tire that isn't much louder than the stock tires.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Cooper AT3s. I don't think there's a better quality tire for the price right now.

    I'm with Cooper AT3's also. I've had mine for 4-5 months now and they've proven themselves on wet grass, wet roads, in light mud and trails. I'd definitely buy them again.

    Toyo Open Country AT2. Favorite tire by far that I would purchase again in the future. Aggressive looking with no road noise that I noticed over stock.

    I am happy with my Hanook Dynapro ATMs. I notice no tire noise and they're pretty aggressive.

    This just proves the road noise is a very subjective thing and means different things to different people. I went from ms2's to toyo's to general hts tires, the toyos were much louder than either of the other 2. If you compare the toyo's to a mud tire, they are quiet, but they definitely have a "hum" to them.

    Thanks Fellas! Looks like Cooper Discoverer AT3 are the winner!

    I really appreciate all the input!
