I haven't noticed a particular difference in tire noise (previous tires
include Les Schwab Jupiter and Wildcat LT), however, that being said, I've
always prefered a bit of tire noise over the crunching sound of sheet metal
bending when the "all-season" tires show that they're really three-season
tires. In my experience, Hakkas are as sticky as new studs when the road
gets 'icky.'

Does Michelin still produce the LTX in 14"?
