I am finding some road noise present in these kumho after a few thousand miles :confused:
 
I haven't noticed any road noise difference with the kumho tires from the stock firestones the truck came with...then again my 3rd gen has a pretty quiet cab. There's always going to be some road noise variations in spots on different pavement, and concrete surfaces. With the kumho's I like the traction on all surfaces, and conditions, especially hard cornering, yet their incredible ride smoothness. The truck always feels well planted, and predictable. I never got all that on the stock tires.
 
Been on several dirt roads here. They work similar to the firestones that came stock. Best thing they don't throw as many stones.
