    I have no personal experience, but everyone I have talked to including some personal friends, say that they are the quietest/smoothest riding mud tire out there.

    Have a set on my work truck...quiet at first, get 10-12k on them and they do what every mud tire does...HHHHUUUUMMMMMMMM.......annoying for long distances. Work truck is a 2010 Ford F-150, tires wearing normally (no cupping or anything that would be attributed to increased noise). Good tires though!

    I have this exact size ove KM2 (31x10.5r15) And love them

    They aren't as loud as most MTs. And if you keep good care of them they will stay that way.

    I am also possibly gonna sell mine..just in case anyone is interested..

    About the quietest MT on the road. That said, "quietest mud terrain" is like saying "coldest fire". Take it for what it's worth.
