Drive 5 minutes with some mud grapplers.... You will never think any tire is loud again.
My trail grapplers don't make any noise compared to the MUDs.

I realize they are going to be loud but my Trail Grapplers got extremely louder than when they were newer.

They all get louder with miles. Trails aren't loud at all. I've had km2's and toyo mt, trails are by far the quietest.

There is your problem. Rotate them at 3000 and they will last longer too.

Love my 37" trails. Would definitely buy again. It's all about the 5 tire rotation at every oil change.

Yip, all MTs (and aggressive AT's) should be rotated more frequently. I do 3k 5 tire.

I have never done the 5 tire rotation. I was under the old-school impression that it was no good for radials to be swapped to the other side. I won't make that mistake again. 5 tire rotation starting with my next set of tires.

5 or 4 doesnt really matter. Its the frequency that is the key. I do five tire because I want my spare to be close to the diameter of the other tires Im running. I might save the best one and only buy four next time I need tires. If I do that then I will switch to a four tire rotation.
