Not too bad since I can't hear them from my 8.25 howling.

I love those tires. Best tire for the price in my opinion. If I would have known about these before I got my BFG's I definately would have got a set of them.

Damn, everybody is getting Bighorns these days.

Noise isn't all that bad.

How do you like those Bighorns on the road? Im thinging about a set of 32s for my Xj too, I found a good price for a set on Ebay with free shipping so why not.

It seems like everyone has been getting on these tires. They seem like there a pretty good deal for the price. What kind of terrain do these excel in?

They're great on the highway.

I havne't really wheeled them hard yet but so far they've done well in snow, rocks, and slight water.

I have not gotten them into sand or mud (mud probably won't happen!). They will see some good rock action later on.

Don't know, they were on the Jeep when I bought it 2-1/2 years ago.

I'm running the 31x10.5 tires, but haven't measured them yet. great so far in everything I'd put them through, mud, sand, rocks.

grip very nicely on wet roads, too. I guess the siping helps with that. You can definately hear them about 30mph, 50mph if the stereo is on (adult volume, not college volume). No vibes from the tires, and they took very little weight to balance. one tire didn't need any weights at all!

for such a cheap tire, I'm amazed at how well they are doing. put around 3000 miles on them so far. I've heard they have problems with cupping, but nobody I know has personally experienced it. *knocks on wood*
