    My truck came with Mickey Thompson Deegan 38's which are uncomfortably loud, and I have narrowed my search down to the Nitto Grappler G2 or Continental Terrain Contact AT.

    I do 90% of my driving on the road so noise is my biggest concern, that being said I do run some trails on occasion, nothing too muddy, so I want the AT, and let's be honest the aggressive look. I plan on a leveling lift and nothing more so I think the 265/60 18 should still fill the wheel well nicely.

    Advice or suggestions, can anyone comment on the Continentals, I see a lot about Nitto's on here?

    I had the good-year dura trac... twice and now running Hankook AT-M... I liked the Goodyear but towards the end. It was really noisey... Im not crazy about the Hankook either. Sucks in the rain.
    I am looking into the Nitto Ridge Grappler or Toyo Open Country R/T next... they are Hybrid Tires. Maybe you should look at those. :)

    Both of those look like great tires, Toyo does not come in my size, and they may be a little more aggressive then I would be looking for. I did consider the Duratracs, but many reviews I found said they got loud at about half the life like you said.

    You can also try BFG AT/KO 2...or Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3... but the best bet right now is Nitto Ridge Grappler or Terra Grappler... good luck!
