Loudest/longest lasting tire??

Well here in a few months ill be needing some 315/75r16 and I'm trying to see how loud and long they'll last. I wanted mud grapplers because I know they scream but since learned I can't find them any where of that size! Toyos are out of the question because I can't find them cheaper then 1400 before shipping. So what is the loudest tire you've heard that is actually going to last some miles... Aka not SS boggers!! I've found out I can get a good deal on km2's... Whay are they like? Also the km2 crawlers? Thanks guys!!

since you cant get the grapplers, the KM2's are a awesome tire! they ride very smooth and arent loud. they should also last to atleast 40K i would think.

Any reason you want a loud tire? Most companies are spending a lot of money in research and engineering to make their MT's quiet. The Toyo MT and Nitto Trail Grappler are probably the two quietest followed by the BFG MT KM, **** Cepek Mud Country and Pro Comp Xtreme MT. The Mickey Thompson MTZ is a little louder than those.

Wandell I love loud tires!!! I love how people put $1000 into an exhaust and hate loud tires. But how are the crawlers compared to just the regular km2s.... I really like the bfgs though

I'm not sure. I would think the Krawlers would be louder and not last as long.

I would say the Yokohama Geolander MT's would be the loudest tire.

Baja Claws with every other lug cut out will be loud, wouldnt last too long and would ride like poo, but they will be loud! Or you can suck it up and get a set of boggers

Krawlers are a competition rock tire and suck as a DD. They don't come in your size anyway. Get the KM2s.

I don't have the yokohama m/t's. I have the a/t's and they had a great life to them. They really dig too especially for an a/t. I have been looking at getting the m/t from them when I need new tires.

i wish they still made the KM1s. i think they look better! just my o2. but any SS will scream loud! and yeah the Krawlers are off road worthy. not on road. my uncle said that the MTZs were loud but i think hes just getting old! haha

I have ATZ's and they have a pretty decent hum to them starting at like 30 mph and up.
