Just how noisy are mud terrain tyres ?

I'll second that - I have had both and GY MTRs are noticably quieter in comparison to BFGs especially when they are cold.

That said, the noise is very bearable, and not intrusive in any way!

Bishops Finger:
BFG MT's  = very bareable drone Not an issue

Henry Webster:
Don't know whether it applies to BFG, but Goodyear's seem to get louder with use...

Personally I like All Terrains for the mixture of road/off road that I do (90/10% at best guestimate).

I use Goodyear AT/Rs which also last much better than any mud tyre and are not really any noisier than a more road-biased pattern.

Goodyear MT/Rs on the racer.

muddyweb:
I'd noticed that on my BFG MTs

Maybe the rubber is getting older and stiffer which could cause a bit more noise on the road.

Eeyore:
A genuine, first life, branded MT isn't that noisy. More aggressive tyres however...

I once ran Michelin XCL's - very intrusive (and a wee bit hairy on wet roundabouts)
I now run the BFG MT's  - not intrusive in a modern Defender.
I've also run Dirt Devils periodically - very intrusive.

IME, the MT/Rs are quieter.

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

cheers
