    Anyone running either the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws or Baja MTZ Radials? If so, what is the noise level like? Thanks.

    Want to buy some ATZs? They are very loud for an AT tire. I have heard the MTZs are quiet for a mud tire but everyone has their own opinion. The post above says they are quieter than the KM2s... on another forum they will tell you the opposite. I bought the ATZs because someone on this board told me they were quieter than the BFG ATs... NOT... they are WAY louder. I learned the hard way.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i'm running the claws and they're not that bad. loud, but not terrible. the rumble strip effect when coming to a stop is more annoying that the noise.

    Thanks....any recommendations for a quiet mud terrain? Cooper Discoverer STT LT? Nitto Mud Grapplers? I dont mind a little noise, but I also dont want to have a headache everytime I start the truck up.

    STTs and mud graps are both loud. MTZs should be more quiet. the original KMs werent bad...not sure of the KM2s though.
