Quieter and more fuel efficient tires?

It almost seems contradictory to my setup, but I've been looking at something more fuel efficient and quieter, if that's even achievable on 31.6s.. I live in an area where I'm 99% on the road so I'd prefer something more appropriate.

On the other hand, would I'd rather spend my money on soundproofing?

Currently I'm using Wrangler Duratrac LT265/75R16's on MB Off-road 352 16x7's.

 

Ko2s 33x10.5x16

 

I’m looking pretty hard at the cooper at3 4s. They seem to be pretty tough, and they’re quite light.
I’m looking at a 255 tho

 

if you want something quieter and better on the road id be looking into an AT tire rather than an MT style. Cooper at3's look and work good or Falken wild peaks. lots of guys swear by the ko2's as well

 

AT over MT for sure.

C range for a lighter tire versus E.

Heard and read a lot of bad things about KO2s which is why Cooper, Falken, and Toyo get my vote first over the BFG's.

 

HT over AT for improve MPG

 

KO2 are by far the worst tires IMO. No traction in ice or snow covered/slippery road condition. They're not good in mud as well.

 

I’ve had the SL Cooper AT3-4S’ on for about 2 years now. No complaints, super quiet, light, and great on hwy & forest roads. Very good in rain & snow also.

 

40s n tons to improve SPG

 

No pics needed, and yes several people like them a lot.

It seems that those that either experience any real rain, or do anything more than light off roading, really dislike them though.

 

Yep. 4dz and toyton

 

All them smiles per gallon

 

I get more SPG than MPG

 

42 is the new 40

 

My cooper st are quiet. Well until you get near the end of their life. Thy do weigh almost 50lb each though in my pizza cutter size

 

Michelin Defenders

 

The 2 stands for twice as many smiles as the guy running 40s

 

I use to think 35 was big compared to 33 until I got 40 next to the 35. Had to double check the 35 is not 33. Than a buddy on 42 parked next to my 40, I swear my 40 were 35.

 

Dude, I feel the same.

My 32s looked good on my Tacoma, then they looked small after I got 33s on the 4Runner.

35s looked good on the Land Cruiser and now having taken them off and putting 33s, I feel like I'm staring at much smaller wheels.

 

My Toyo AT2s were much quieter than my KOs. x2 for A/T vs M/T or R/T. The closer you get to a commuter tread, the quieter and better fuel economy you'll get in general
