Actually, not noisy at all. You can kinda feel the terrain difference once and a while in the steering wheel, but they don't humm down the road. Fairly quiet.

I'm a big fan .

I am torn on what to do if something goes bad on Horton.

I paid $2K for him, and it's in decent shape. But, it has 187K on it now and is it worth it to put 1K into drivetrain or 2K into the Engine if something were to go wrong. Lets just hope nothing major goes wrong .

Personally, i think that you have a LONG time till you will have to think about that.. I know of people over at the DOC that are pushing close to 400,000 miles on there truck... Granite, there are alot of factors to consider, how well it was taking care of, how hard she played, Etc.

One thing to consider before sinking alot of money into the truck is ... Do you love your truck enough that you can see yourself driving it to her grave? If so then i would say yes it is worth it to sink money into it..

I like them pretty good so far. Got roughly 15k on them and counting. Haven't had any traction issues so far. Do pretty well off road. Not noisy and are wearing fairly decent. I have had a couple of other off-road guys wanna trade me tires cause they like my tread pattern better than theirs lol.

Put these to the snow test yesterday. We got about 14-16" of snow Sunday.

Last night pulled the D out of get the snow blower of of the garage, no issues at all. Took a spin around the neighborhood, and it was a breeze! Didn't even have to use 4HI until I got to my driveway, which is inclined pretty good.

This AM when driving to daycare, roads were pretty icy and slushy, and these tires handled that great. No issues at all, 2wd the whole time.

They pass my inital snow tests!

Exact same scenario here. He's 2.5 now, and when he was just under 2, we watched that movie almost daily.

Now we're onto Brave and have renamed our 11yr old dog (Kody) Mordue after the bear in that movie. We call the dog Kody Mordue now, so he knows we're talking to him.

So we have Coopers (my son) truck name Horton. Kody is now named Mordue. My G8 is Dads car, and my wifes CX9 is Moms Black car.

Glad he runs this house at 2.5.
