    Anyone switched from all-terrain to highway tires? How much quieter are they at highway speeds? Any other differences in handling or comfort?

    Currently running Courser AXT 275/70R18. I like the look of A/T but don't do anything more intense than gravel or dirt boat ramps. Need good snow traction too. Trying to quiet the truck so if you have a suggestion...

    Highway tires generally will be more quiet than an All-Terrain tires.

    I would suggest the Michelin Defender LTX. The quietest, smoothest, easiest to balance, and most comfortable truck tire I have ever used. They are excellent in snow (8 inches or less), ice and rain. In blizzards they are MEH but I have never not gotten home because of the tires…

    There are also All-Weather (4 season) tires hitting the market. In my limited experience they are truly on to something here but the can be noisy as an AT tire. I loved them on my commuter car except for the noise.

    I would second the Michelin Defender LTX, I had them on my 2012 Ridgeline and they were excellent. I just put a set on my wife's Mazda CX-5 and when the time comes I plan to put them on my Tundra.
