I really can't decide on these wheel choices.

well I went with these 22's...I looked and looked for the diamo's but I just can't find it in a 22 despite their website stating it was available. These were the same price though. Now if only I knew what tires....... swamper m16 or toyo MT...trying to find out which is quiter

The Toyo MTs will be quieter than the Swampers.

really? There is one member on here who has the new swampers that I've talked with. He sai they're only a tiny bit louder than the stock TA KO's. I don't think he ever had the TOYO MT's to comper them too though.

Have you had or been in a truck with the m16's?

BTW....I'm a little scared with both of those creating too much noise for long highway trips....I"m still thinking about 325/60/22 bf ta ko's. I just don't want the rig to have a street truck look because the tires aren't very aggressive.

Yes, and yes. The "other guy" you spoke to has his opinion, I gave you mine. Without a sound meter, it's all down to what your own ears hear, and there are variables in the comparison such as how many miles the tires have on them, are they cupped, etc.

If you are really that worried about road noise, though, you should go with an all-terrain tire. Most tires such as the M16 and the Toyo MT (both on the mild side of the mud tire spectrum) will start out only slightly louder than the stock BFGs, but even with religious rotation, they will get progressively louder.

Thanks for writing back.....and ya, I am that worried about noise. I have lifted f150 that I've had IROKS and CLAWS on.....and they would spoil the nice quite interior, one of the reasons why I bought this truck, with their intrusive noise. It's exactly what I DON'T want being I will be doing alot of 1000 mi + road trips with it.

It doesn't sound like either the toyo or the swamper would be right for me. I think my only two AT choices in a 37 diameter 22in rim would be the NITTO AT and BF TA KO. My main concern with those is..... that they will not look rugged enough and my truck will look like a pavement princess. Which is the exact look I want to avoid.

I've never seen the nitto to compare...... Which AT in 37 / 22 will look the most aggressive?
