    What would you say is hands down the absolute QUIETEST and MOST COMFORTABLE All terrain 20" tire out there – regardless of the cost. ??

    I have a 2018 Crewmax 5.7 (V8), it comes with the stock steel wheels and the MICHELIN LTX M/S2 – I absolutely LOVE how quiet and comfortable it is! Really don't want to loose any of it, but would also like some 20"s and a bit more of an AT tires.. is there a way to have the best of both worlds ??

    Thx a lot! Really appreciate it!

    It's all relative. Obviously the more aggressive the tread, the louder it will be. That said, the BFG KO2's are fairly quiet when compared with other similarly aggressive tires.

    I have the ko2s and think they’re kind of loud lol. Don’t have experience with any of the other ones sorry.

    2nd that, I had KO2's on my Tacoma and I didn't think they were much louder than the Rugged Trails, which come stock. The only time I really noticed any noise was when I was turning. My Cooper STT Pro's howl compared to them (but that's more or less an MT compared to an AT).

    The STT Pro M/T's are a very aggressive "M/T"...I have a set...

    Ive got ko2s and they’re pretty quiet for an AT tire. You’ll probably still hear them some. An 18” Tire is probably a smoother ride than a 20.

    If you like the Michelin LTX M&S AT2’s, sipe the lugs and you should be great in most weather or off road conditions other than rock crawling, but I don’t see you doing much of that in a Tundra on factory size 20’s.

    I have had KO2 tires with good luck in the sound department. When you find a person that can balance them, stick with the tire store and that person...even give them a bottle of Crown.

    I suggest sticking with a LT tire if you’re not towing heavy and serious off-roading.

    The TOYO A/T's have been very good in the quiet side of the ride.

    Nitto tires have always treated me well. They don’t last long on my diesels, but they do have good traction.

    NO Way on the KO2's. Dealership installed 285/55/20 not the 275/55/20 the stock Bridgestone's were. After 10 miles, I dropped the truck back at the Dealership to have them removed, and the Bridgestones back on. Dry grip was not as good as the Bridgestone Stock tire, MPG went down 1.5-2mpg, and it was D rated, a rough ride.

    Dealership said no one ever returned them before. I can't believe a tire that pricey is so inept.

    I hear ya. With no mileage Warranty on the tires, BFG is raking in the cash from succors left and right. Dealership opted to use the 285 instead of 275 which the 285 was $90 more per tire as well. At 75-76 MPH I get 18mpg on the stock Bridgestone, yes I have a 2018 4x4

    I had the G2's before. Great all weather tire, but they lacked the aggressive look I wanted.

    I replaced the original OEM Michelin LTX AT/2 with Goodyear DURATRACs. I've had them about a year and a half. Ride seems to be the same. Road noise on the highway, I'd say is slightly more, but really only if you are focusing on listening for it. No where near the drone that you will hear from something more aggressive. I am happy with them.
