    Just seeing if I can get some help from the “experts” here. Live in Colorado and spend a good amount of time on trails and wheeling pretty hard, nothing super crazy but I definitely wouldn’t call myself shy with trails. I most likely will be running snows for the winter seasons and don’t super often see heavy rainstorms but it does happen. Choices are really between K02 (last choice), KM3, and STT maxx, in 285s. Biggest concern would be loud drone with the Km3s but I’m not overly sensitive to noise. Just curious if anyone has a good comparison of the KM3s vs a standard all terrain in the noise category. And not sure if the worse on road of the km3s really make up for slight off road benefit. Liking the stts too. Would greatly appreciate some genuine advice, not just I hate those tires they suck blah blah blah. Thanks guys!

    ST Maxx for sure. and no it's not a noisy tire. it's a great snow tire and good for trails to highway.

    I’m pretty sold on the st maxx tbh, I guess with the st maxx I wouldn’t need the snows which could save some money for other fun things. Still pretty torn between st max all year or km3s and snows. Leaning to the coopers, appreciate your input.

    I run ST Maxx and winter tires. Great combination.
