Having trouble deciding which to get. Does anyone have experience with the howler? I have heard that the guard dog is surprisingly quiet. I don't mind some tire howl, as long as it isn't whaling loud. I currently have Firestone destination MT 265 75 16 that I traded my 18" wheels and tires for on stock suspension with no clearance problems and they have about 90% of their tread left but they are shot. They are cupped, are very loud and shake/vibrate bad especially over 65mph. I had them balanced when I first got them to make sure they weren't just off balance, and the steering wheel now shakes at 45, and the vibrations are still there. I am not driving it much except in the city to go to work which isn't far and don't go above 45 mph. I am looking for the best off road traction, and If there isn't much difference between the two I'll go for the quieter one.

 

That will have to be your call, make sure to take advantage of their 7% group purchase discount that is currently on.

 

Thanks for the group discount info Mike.
