its a sacrifice you have to take when buying muddies, but some have patterns that reduce road noise. Its hard to say as from person to person opinions. I know the KM2 aren't too bad tho...

Install Mud Tyres, Upgrade Stereo. Problem cured.
how bad depends on the tire. i've got 2 4x4 with muds and you get used to it.
however some of the chunkier muds can be very very noise.
also playing with air pressures can alter the noise.

my km2's arent too bad, on the hiway the motor drowns most of it out.

my muddies were great when they were new - but as they wear they get A LOT noisier.

My Insa Turbo's sounded like a there was an old P51 mustang flying above me when they where new, now I barely notice it.

Are those the ones with the closer tread blocks running up the inside half of the wheel? Been wondering how they go

Ha ha, I had a set of Motorway Mongrels (Simex Centipede copy) that were just like that on my Forerunner, when I wanted to trade it in the salesman was cranky and stated he "would not even consider trading while ever those tyres were on the car". My business went else where

Mickey T MTZ's on mine,. In all honesty, I rarely notice the noise. about the only time I notice the noise is on a very smooth surface (This may be an issue if you spend your life on the motorways). When I change between the muddies and normal tyres, noise is never what I notice.
IMHO, Forget the noise. Consider the other issues of muddies.
Cornering ability drops, wet weather grip (Tar) drops, fuel gauge drop, performance drops, braking performance, general smoothness of the car declines.

Another vote for the MTZ's I haven't found them to be overly loud. On the highway my snorkel makes more noise then the tyres do.
