Thanks I am glad you like the look. I really like having to actually step up in the VX now The road noise is definitely louder than the Terra Grapplers, but I have the PV1 muffler and you cannot hear the tires over the muffler unless you are really listening for it. And when I get off the gas it is just a nice whine, not too loud, noticeable but not bad. I have ridden in a few trucks with Mud tires and I have to say these are the quietest I have heard. Even when driving next to Jeeps and other trucks I can still hear their tires over mine with the windows down, but when it is just me I can hear it, but it is definitely bearable for everyday driving. I drove it to Huntsville and back twice now (2 and a half hours round trip) and I had a guy on a motorcycle speed up just in front of me and then turn his upper body completely around and stare at the VX while going 65+ and then giving me a big thumbs up and then he exited. While at a gas station normally people used to ask me about the VX, but the other day after the tires and rims and lift and all, two guys in different cars started a conversation with each other about the VX. One guys was like wow what is that I have never seen one of those, then the other guy says yeah I don't think they even make those anymore...... I was standing right there, they didn't even look at me they were just staring at the VX! I had a kid almost fall off of his bicycle staring at me and then in a nice upscale neighborhood, a dad stopped in mid throw playing with his son in the front yard with a Frisbee to stop and stare, and he yelled something at his other neighbor who was outside. It is hilarious; this has just multiplied the stares and comments! Definitely worth a little tire whine to me. Oh and the tire whine is definitely not as bad as my Dad's old Toyota truck was. If you have a PV1 and can handle the noise at 65 then the tires will be right there in the same ballpark. Sometimes I just get up to speed and let off the gas because I think it actually sounds pretty sweet!
