Default BFG KM2 always this loud?

Just went from 33" Duratracs to 35" KM2s. The Duratracs were quiet but these BFGs are loud. Are they always noisy or do I have a problem?

Km2's are mud terrains. Duratracs are all terrains. Of course the km2's will be louder but as others have said, they are quiet compared to other mud terrains. As long as you rotate them on time, they shouldn't get too loud.

Give them 600-1000 miles. Then they won't be any louder than the stock Rubi tires.

I've had these on my jeep for over 10,000 miles and can't believe how quiet they are even since day one. We also have a new town and county and everyone that's road in both vehicles think the jeep is just quiet. Been really happy with these tires and will buy again.
