But I still want a quiet tire. Most I ever tow is 6x10 enclosed trailer with motorcycle so that's not really an issue.

no rubbing .. here the city mpg went down due to being a bit taller .. but on the highway they rpms went down .. i average 12-15 here in the hilly pacific north west. on the flats with no winds cruse control on set at 1800 rpms i can get 20-25 but if a fly sits on the hood and blows on my window it will go down lol . i will tell you will notice a grearing change.. some dont like it ..it does not bother me .. if i could i would add a chip to give it a bit more power and also let the computer know that the tires are changed .. but thats me .. i have not done a thing to mine cause i stil owe on her lol ..
