Once you find your quiet tires ill take those mickey thompson's from you. I need the tire noise to drown out all the other noises! lol.

I've found most all terrains to be quiet enough for my taste. I have BFG ATs on my Ram and Cherokee and they're definitely not as loud as the wind noise in either vehicle. You could always throw a Flowmaster 44 on there to drown out the tire hum.

That's a tradeoff. The closer you get to MT's the louder they'll be and the greater rolling resistance you'll have. A street-specific or bald tire will be nice and quiet but you sacrifice snow/mud/dirt traction. Go with AT's if you're that concerned about the noise. BF Goodrich AT's are incredible tires with an aggressive tread.

I have the same tire you have just bigger and they are noisy. I kinda like it though. I think it feels, looks and sounds aggresive. I just hope they wear nice and long lol.

I'm running the GoodYear Authority AT's in a 31x10.5-15

Very aggressive for a AT and rather quiet at that..

Walmart is how ever the only place you can currently get them.
