    I have the General Grabber ATX and have been very happy with the on and off road performance.

    Really, I'm running General Grabber AT2's. 50k miles and still running. I will need new tires though, so I'm trying to get others opinions.

    I've been very happy with these on my TRD Sport. Also had them on a 1st Gen SR5. Nice ride and quiet on the highway.

    These are literally known to be a loud tire. They are also poor for MPG on highways.

    Despite being a great tire, they are quite the opposite of what OP is looking for.

    Ha!

    Do you own ko2s? They are silent on the hwy actually, i also get advertised mpgs. Please dont spread misinformation.

    I have toyo at2s on my work van and had duratratcs, both of those tires make noise on hwy , definetily not bfgs.

    I think the 1000s of threads and youtube videos across multiple truck forums about how loud they are is probably enough for most people to understand their noise level. Maybe you just have bad ears or crank your radio. IDK man.

    Just because they aren't as loud as Duratracs, doesn't make the quiet (your words not mine).

    I'm done here as I don't have anything else to offer to this thread.

    They are silent on hwy, absolutely no noise. My hearing is great and i dont always drive with loud music. Forgot to add, i also made a mistake of buying e rated and i still get advertised mpgs or better on hwy. If you ever own some bfgs or know someone who has them, they will confirm they are silent on the hwy.

    I would like to see those 1000s threads and youtube videos about how loud bfgs are, because they are not. Why do you think so many people are running them? They are pricey yes but they are good all around tire.

    Are you sure you don't mean the KM2? I've had K02's on multiple vehicles and they are very quite!

    The KM2 ( mud terrain ) are loud on the hwy

    I've always like the BFG K02.

    The Falken AT3 are also good tire for the price.

    For the money, it's hard to top the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W.

    I prefer them over the BFG K02's I've had.

    Now that you say that, i think he is confusing ko2s to km2s.

    Just curious what are the reasons you prefer wildpeaks over bfgs?

    I had BFG K02s on my 99 and they were loud on the highway (not as loud as DuraTracs, but not quiet by any stretch) and they had terrible traction on wet pavement.
