Default Smoothest riding M/T?

Going for a more agressive look, but I really want to minimise road noise. I know there will be more than a regular street tire, but out of all of the radil M/T's which is the most "street friendly"?

Thanks.

BFG muds IMO. I've had these, Pro Comp M/T(sucks), and Goodyear M/T. The BFG's will last the best if properly maintained and don't seem to get as loud when they wear down. They will cost a little bit more, but you get what you pay for.

I have had A lot of different M/T tires in the past couple of years and the best ones by far are the Toyo Open Country M/T's. I have them right now in 37x13.50-17 and they ride like an all terrain tire. I have put 40K miles on them and still have almost 50% tread believe it or not.

ive always loved B/F G tires but in the mud terrain department id probably buy Procomp again, A great tire that rodes great and low noise compared to the BFG mud t/a. Ive owned both kinds and they are both great.As fior A/T's BFG is #1
