I didn't have 37s, but I did have 33" Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ...they look super aggressive on the sidewalks and noise was not a problem at all.

Currently have Ginell 35s and love them...relatively inexpensive too! Noise not an issue.

 

Another vote for the KO2, or just buy another vehicle for daily use.

Rotate tires every 3000 miles to prevent cupping will keep the noise down a lot.

 

The K02's will be my next tire set.. My brother has them and they don't get noisy after milage like most All Terrain Tires do. My Goodyear Duratecs were nice but after 15K miles they are NOISY..

 

Any all terrain tire will do, Muds will be noisy, pick whatever fits the eyes/wallet.

 

I'd suggest Nitto Terra Grapplers or Toyo Open Country AT's.

Love my Michelin Defender LTX M/S

 

Looking around briefly, your best (perhaps, only) bets for quiet street tire are:

Cooper Discoverer A/T3
Cooper Discoverer ATP
Yokohama Geolander A/T-S (old one)

All are 37x12.5x17. These won't run mud well, but they should run hardpack, gravel, and sand just fine.

37s are REALLY limiting you here. There is next to no market demand for a street 37, unless you get 22.5" RV wheels.

 

I just bought a set of these, and am beyond happy with them. They are a slightly less aggressive Duratrac, which essentially means that they are a superb, quiet street tire that are duly capable of mild off-roading. Can't recommend them enough.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. will check them all out.
I agree a little heavy on the radio fixes it for me., curious how the 22.5's would ride on a JKU vs a motor home

 

You could go for a quiet set of MTs. I have 37" Cooper STT Pros and they are very quiet for a mud terrain tire.

 

We ran Cooper AT3 on my husbands last truck. They were very quiet and a great overall tire. I also ran the Kumho Road Ventures on my last TJ and they were pretty amazing tires, but I am unsure if they come in that size. I currently run BFG ATs on my JKU, very quiet tires!

 

3 choices in AT in my humble opinion.

Cooper AT3
Nitto Ridge Grappler - my favorite.
BFG KO2

All are very quiet with the AT3 being almost like a highway tire. But it doesn't really "look" like a Jeep tire, but it is an excellent tire.

As for an MT, I'd say Cooper STT Pro.

 

Just got a Big Bear with the BFG KO2s. They are very quiet so far; especially on the highway. Much quieter than the Duratracs I had on my last JK.

Ko2

 

KO2 IMO and based on experience.

 

Cooper AT3

 

Not sure what a Cooper STT Plus is, but my STT Pros are essentially un-noticeable from a noise persepective. If you meant she's got STT Pros then the AT3 would be the next quieter Cooper option.

 

Just ordered Nitto Ridge Grapplers (picked them over the KO2s and Duratracs)

 

^^^Good decision!

Once that you get them installed, you will say..:iamhappy:

I am running these NRG's and they are..:winner:

 

Togo Open Country A/T. Very quiet, aggressive looking and great for general off-road

Good Year Wrangler Dura Tracs

 

Duratracs were the inventor of the hybrid class of tires. They were and are still decent tires, but aren't anywhere near as quiet as the Ridge Grappler or KO2.

The muds that came on my 2010 Wrangler Unlimited were so noisy that I replaced them. Since I like to drive off-pavement, to explore old ghost towns, in New Mexico, I chose the [expensive] Michellin all weather. They come with a 60-65,000 warranty, ride smooth, yet give me the necessary sidewall strength for going on dirt roads.

No disrespect intended, but the Michelins aren't going to have the traction of the tires that we typically run on our Jeeps. They will be great on the highway (probably the best), but will fall short of what other tires can do off road.
