They are pretty loud. I had the same size maxxis bighorns on my truck and they didnt even make any noise. For those who want quiet, then these are definitely not for them.
They are one of the most aggressive looks/patterns on the market, but along with that killer look comes the noise and quicker wear.

I myself like the hummmmm as it lets people know whats coming...lol
and its not my daily driver either. I use it just to pull my boat and maybe take the wife out to dinner on the weekend.

Honestly I am averaging 8.4 mpg already around town without pulling the boat... wonder what I will get with towing...lol

I know, Im a little concerned about the mpg also. I have new plugs, new fuel filter, new air filter, fresh oil change and was avging 10.2 before the lift and tires. Gonna do the gotts mod and may look into those electric fans to take a load off the engine.

My rig runs fine too, no codes or issues with the engine.
