Default KM2 or Nitto MG??

Okay so I thought I was for sure getting the Nitto Mud Grapplers but now I am having second thoughts. My rubi is my daily driver and I am kidna worried about how loud the hum is going to be with the Nittos. The hum with the KM1s is already pretty loud and I wouldnt want to go much worse than that. what do u guys think?

I have the Nittos and they are very loud. Don't get them if the noise bothers you. I think they're even louder than the Super Swampers I had on my TJ. You'd be happy with either if performance was your measure.

I can't say much about the Nittos, I've never had them but I've had the KM2s for about two weeks now and they are by far the best handling and quietest mud tire I've ever had on road.

Nitto's are like buzzsaws on the road, and like awesome tank treads in the mud. Friend has them on a XJ.

KM2's have a quiet hum on the road, and are a little less capable than the Nitto's in mud. Not to knock the KM2's - is what I have.

I have 37" KMII's. They are great off road and not much louder on road than the AT i had before were. Definitely recommend the KMII!

Im in the same boat but trying to decide between the KM2, Nitto MG and Toyo MTs. From my research everything points to the Nittos as great for traction but extremely noisy. I love the look of them the most but like you dont want a extremely loud tire.
