@jaboki they've been on shy of a week but I've been extremely pleased so far and especially in the wet weather we're having. I'm itching to take them through some mud! My mpg have increased by 2mpg in city driving. They are very quite but like all tires I'm sure they will get a bit louder. I can confidently say the stmaxx straight out the tire shop were louder than these, and that's by design. The stmaxx are load e and have wider spaced outer lugs...I have the falken at3w in standard load or p-metric so it's not a fair comparison. Someone needs to buy the load e falken at3w and put it next to the stmaxx for a fair comparison. The stmaxx aren't as loud as a mud tire but you can hear them.

If I had to do it all over again Id go with the std Falkens at3w over the stmaxx soley based on road noise and softer ride. 90% of the time I'm on pavement, the other 10% is off-road but nothing extremely brutal, that's why we all have spare tires.
