I just put my 18” wheel setup with RT tires back on, pending an Atlanta-to-Moab trip next month. I normally run the 20” OEM Goodyear setup. I noticed the noise and slight roughness to the ride immediately, but in the past I’ve gotten used to it quickly and then don’t notice at all till I put the OEMs back on and go, “Oh yeah, THAT’S what “quiet” means.” Mine are Cooper Discoverer Rugged Treks. Far from the noise of a full MT, but still discernible for sure.
Of course, with these Super Swamper bias-plies on my Jeep you NEVER get used to the noise, which is why I trailer them behind the Jeep till I get to Moab. But still have to do a lot of road driving to get to the various trails and it’s earplug time for that.
