Ride quality of off road tires
Has anybody compared the ride quality (on highway) of the off road tires to the ones of the regular road tires?
Are off-road tires bouncier and softer than the normal road tires (20"rims) ?

I have 20" rims with the Off Road Tires (Goodrich Wrangler All-Terrains). I haven't compared them to the on-road in a sound comparison, but they are QUIET. Turn on the Meridian and you hardly notice them. I want to put together another wheelset with the Goodrich Wrangler Duratecs on 18" (waiting on the calipers) and am SURE I will hear those.
I just picked mine up today and I’d agree surprisingly quiet. I’ll say they a bit numb and slightly too easy too light on the highway but I’m unfairly comparing to my cayenne s with dws continentals and other cars. I was able to keep up surprisingly well with an old wrx on some back roads on my shakedown drive tho!
The Adventures are almost indistinguishable from road all seasons. Maybe a slight bit mire noise, but nothing you really notice, and they handle just fine, surprisingly well actually. You don’t really give up much in on road performance while gaining a decent amount of off road capability.
Agree with the above, they are just as quiet as any all season tire. The tread pattern isn't that aggressive.
On another note, I suspect the Wranglers are quiet because they are soft. After 5K miles I can see they are already worn down compared to the tread depth on the spare. Probably lucky to get 25K miles out of them.
