My lady is not digging the road noise on her 4 door as her tires wear , its currently sitting on cooper sst plus 37's. To me they are super quiet for a mud tire, but she doesn't seem to think turning up the radio is a good fix. Wondering if anyone has recomendations in something around 37 inch in a street tire*that rides quiet. Her jeep rarely leaves the pavement and for the limited trips it takes to the off road parks can swap back on mud tires, so a true street tire would be ideal. She's got got a dana 60*up front 44 in the rear and is lifted about 5-6 inches. ideally a 37 by 10.5 pizza cutter would be awesome or anything close to that size.

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

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.

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.

KO2 IMO and based on experience.

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

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.
