Quiet tires???

[df4801]

I recently got nitro terra grapplers. Ride and noise similar to ko2’s. Hopefully wear better but mpg went down by 1 mpg.

Those look like Ridge Grapplers.

Street tires but then you loose all your off-road capabilities also you bought a Raptor.

Exactly. Had an Explorer w street tires that was ungodly loud. The ‘14 Raptor w KO2s is like riding in a sound booth.

Not sure how much quieter it could get or need to be. You did buy a Raptor. Turn up the stereo and roll down the windows!

You must have bionic hearing. I've gone so far as to coast downhill at 65mph with all sound making gismos shut off...engine at idol...and I can't hear the BFGs at all. If yours are so loud that you're willing to give up all the capability and install an inferior tire then I admire your EXTREMELY sensitive hearing.

I'm curious (as I didn't think to do it before my new tires) - can you run a decibel app and report your general numbers? Be curious as to the range the stock truck falls in.

On noisy, rough roads I'm up to nearly 70 db with my new tires, which sometimes is bothersome to me.
