Default Thoughts on Nitto's for a JK 11

Considering purchasing some Nitto Trail Grappler M/T LT 255/75R17 for my JK 11. Really don't take the Jeep off road at all. A lot of in town driving with the occasional 240 mi round trip hike. Just want a more aggressive look for the Jeep and i think these would do the trick. However, i welcome anyones opinion on.
1. How noisy are they while driving on a 1 - 10 (10 loudest and 1 being OEM)
2. Performance in the snow?
3. How many miles should i expect to get out of these tires?
4. Are they worth the $295 pr/ tire?

yes i realize a bunch to all of these answers are already on the internet, but id like some real input if anyone has any they'd like to share. thanks

I have had the Trail Grapplers 295/70/18 for about 7000 miles now and they look GREAT so...

This is what I know :

Noise - With all the talk I thought they be quieter but not as loud as some maybe a 7.5

Snow - Well here in MD we had our share and I had NO problems or worries what so ever.

Miles - These are Trail/Mud and snow so I'm hoping 50 to 60k as long as you keep them rotated.

Worth - If you feel you want them and don't mind paying for them then, Yes they are worth it.
