The further I dig in on the Geolandar A/T, the more I like it. I moved this tire up from 4th to 3rd to 2nd to 1st, and of all the reviews I read, I only saw three that mentioned noise.
Again, that's a hard thing to really nail down in my opinion. Are you coming from an all season tire? How many miles? Is air pressure right? What surfaces? What speeds?
I think I am leaning towards these Geolandars over the Terra Grappler G2s because of wet traction, but it seems like I am really splitting hairs between the two. $4/tire difference in price. .1 lb difference in weight. .1 difference in rating.
For anyone who might find it useful in the future, here is an updated chart with the things we've discussed. I separated the Top 3 from the rest of the category.
