Just how noisy are mud terrain tyres ?

Just don't ask which is the best beween the BFG and the GY, 'cos you're on your own there! :wink:

Yeah, deliberately ignored asking that one.
Thanks everyone for the opinions, looks like muds it will be. Cheers.

Hi Got Technic Amazon on mine and there is hardly any noise, no droning even at 60-70.
Very good in the sticky stuff aswell.

--- Quote from: "NeilWilson" ---Need to get some new tyres for my D1 300TDi, was considering either BFG Mud Terrains or Goodyear MT/R but am wondering how noisy they are on tarmac ? - is it just an intrusive rumble or ear defender time ?
Cheers.

A remould MT tyre might be marginally quieter as slightly softer rubber coumpound has to be used in making remoulds. Having said that there's hardly any difference between my General Grabber MT's and the Technic Tyre MT remoulds I have- the GG's are a little bit noisier but I expect to get a few more km out of them. When I put my Geolander AT's back on- I don't suddenly think to myself "gosh it's quiet now!" either. 4x4's with big diesel engines are inherently noisy anyway with all the engine, drive train and suspension clunking that goes on.
In the end it's something you'll get used to. You can either ignore it or turn the stereo up.

That's the problem. I've not had anything other than MT on the motor for the last 2 to 3 years. I keep thinking about putting some on to guage the difference.

Eh! Pardon.... sorry, you're going to have to speak up a bit!!
but seriously.... I put BFG MT's on my TD Defender and there is a rumble but not that you'd notice over the normal engine/road noise. However the difference off road is more than worth the noise and wet road handling issues!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
