Question Question for ProComp tire owners

For you guys with ProComps; do you have the AT's or Mud's? How do you like them? Excessive highway noise?
Wet handling characteristics?
Performance?
I prefer the Mud's but alittle leary about handling and noise.
The reason I ask, is I finally figured a way to get them to AK. My brother and I are going to Ontario,CA. next month and plan on having www.4wheelparts.com ship the tires to my cousin's house. Then take them as baggage back through AK Airlines. AK Airlines said no problem! 4Wheelparts has that special (buy 3/ get one free) and I can't miss on this deal.

i have the 315/75r16 A/T's...i love them...they handle great on wet pavement, just a good all around tire...they are severe weather rated, so they perform well in snow....i have played in the snow a bit this year, but they are awesome...quiet...very very quiet...if i had it to do over i'd buy them again....

I have the 33x12.5x17s and they are great so far. Quiet on the road, no complaints in the little rain we have had here in So Cal. Only been on sandy fireroads so far but they were fine. No strange wear patterns either.
Good Luck

I just got the pro comp AT 33 x 12.5 / 17. What a great tire. Its not too noisy on the highway and handles pretty good in the rain. It makes your truck look beefier and a nicer stance. Buy 3 get one free is a great deal. I was able to buy mine for $135.00 a piece cheaper than what the magazines were selling for. Good luck

stefanus - just saw your response where you stated you did put them on stock wheels. That's a good deal on those tires. I'm thinking of going with the mud-terrains.
