Good morning,

Well I have the Treadwright 245/75/16 OTR's and absolutely love them, great grip and aggressive look...

Only downfall to them is... since they are mud tires, they are really loud out on the road.

Now I am looking at Treadwright once again for a second set of some "highway friendly" tires to use while not off road and on the trails.

Do you think these tires will eliminate most of the highway humming? Anyone have these?

they are the same, and if tom runs them you know theyre good! BFG A/Ts are actually one of the more popular tires out there.

There are'nt actual BFG A/Ts, they are the BFG A/T casings with Treadwright retreads

oh wow, i didnt even notice, they look exactly the same... I misunderstood the OP

but i would imagine the same tread = the same performance, and sound. unless they used a differant rubber compound, but it seems to me that would make all that much of a differance

thoseare 265-70-16s on mine but the same height almost , mine would be a little wider is all, I have some hum to mine about 35-40 but after that they are pretty quiet. I am ordering two from Treadwright for some testing of my own as soon as they get my size in.

Hopefully not too much of a highjack. But is anyone running Treadwright's 245/75/16 MTs ?? How noisy are those?

noisey but not too bad IMO but I also drive with my windows down probably 85% of the time and you can always turn up the radio a little if you need to
