For the price I would buy again. The look great!

Typical with most mud tires they have large flat contact spots that make rain and snow driving on smooth surfaces more difficult that of a snow tire. I can still get everywhere I need to go, but it isn't anything compared to a blizzak for winter driving. These tires look great and do everything I want. Look awesome, get around through the trails, and clean out well when I need some wheel speed. These tires balanced well Road noise is there, but not awful

Pretty good for the price. Just loud.

Loud but not unbearable. You get used to it. It is an MT so it is expected to be loud. Overall pretty good for the price. I would definitely recommend!
