Mud Tire Nosie?

For those of you who have BFG 33 or 35 mud terrain tires, I was wondering how the steering, noise, and wear on those tires is for highway driving. I go out and play every weekend but have to drive 20 miles on the highway every day, and was wondering about the trade offs. Getting a second vehicle is not an option. Thanks.

I run 33 1250 16.5s on my 95F350. Excellent road manners, a little noisey but very tolerable, and currently have 38,000 miles with plenty of tread left. Get em, you wont be dissapointed!

Ditto. I've got the 35" mud terrains and they handle great, wear great, and I think they're actually pretty quiet. My buddy runs theme on his sub and at 48000 they still have good tread left.

My 1 ton has 3.55 gears with the 33s. 4.10s would be nice because im usually pulling a trailer, but the 460 grunts its way through just fine.
