I think you ment to warn him about the sound that comes from the GoodYear MTR's which were stock on Jeeps for awhile, they do get pretty noise.
The BFG is much quieter up to around 40,000 plus miles then they stir up a little noise.

 

mike, you are correct. Goodyear makes the MTR not BFG. I seem to always get them mixed up.

 

Running trxxus M/Ts on the street because they look cool. Yep, you ran them alright. You ran them right to the mall and back!

 

Don't clean mud well huh? Looks pretty clean to me.

 

Take my advice oysterhead, if you can get a great deal on the destinations then go for them. The KM2's are one Nice tire but very pricey! Swampers such as the TSL and Bogger are Great mud tires, but those aren't really made to be driven on the street, you won't get many miles out of them. The swamper SSR's are a "street" friendly version of the TSL but still, won't have very good road manners and miles will be less than the KM2 and Destination.

There many other M/T tires out there, but many of them don't deserve the Mud Terrain name. Keep that in mind.

 

those were stock on my rubicon in 06. terrific off road and in snow.

BUT with the soft top and in the highway you had to almost yell to be heard when talking. they were loud tires

 

I'm looking at $750 for the Destination M/Ts installed with road hazard in 245/75/16.

That's a great deal. (still can't afford the spare, though...until I can I'll have to leave on the 255/65 Michelin "4x4" just in case I have to limp home)

I think load range E is an overkill and I'll stick with load range C.

 

He should be in good shape with his friends and family discount on his M/T's. I've been places an A/T's that most people couldn't get through on M/T's.
As long as he stays away from anything Bias Ply if 80% of the driving is on the street radial M/T's should be just fine of any brand. It's 2009 they're all pretty close in the radial department. Just remember to air them down to a reasonable level off road without bead locks to get a good contact patch.
Remember it's 90% throttle,steering, and an all around good awareness(spotting) of your trail or mud hole and about 10% of you rubber that hits the trail-mud pit.
As a side note I've ran tons of rubber on all my rigs the last set that didn't come with a dental plan on the street is a set of TSL-LTB-BIAS PLYs on my Full Size Jeep Pickup not recommended on any daily driven rig stick with your friends and family deal on he radials. Happy Trails and Mud Pits to everyone.
Side note any Disco with M/Ts is going to be insanely quieter than a Jeep on M/Ts due to sound deadening differences to begin with.

 

i only came up with two situations in which the M/T would underperform the A/T:

1. on the road (big woop)
2. in packed ice (rare here)

 

You know you want those MT's
