Here's mine.
I think road noise is pretty subjective. I don't think it's bad, I was expecting it would be worse, but another person may think otherwise.
It's my daily driver as well.

I just got a set of 315/70r17's. I was surprised how quiet they are. There is a low level "hum" from them around town, actually I find it pleasant. The "hum" rises to a "whine" from about 50mph and up. It is not loud or uncomfortable. I run 35 psi on the street, and air down to 15-18 psi on the trail.
Here's a photo from the summit of Engineer Pass during my trip to Colorado -
I am really happy with these tires. I didn't think I would find tires I liked more than Nitto's, but these really are better....in my opinion.
All the trail time in Colorado only confirmed how good these tires are. I never spun the tires even in muddy terrain.

I've been running them now for 20K miles, rotate every 3-5K miles. And they're dead quiet. That or all the other Jeep noises, wind, radio, etc. are greater then or equal to the tire noise
I'm very happy with their performance thus far. Extremely smooth and quiet for the many hwy miles I'm forced to put on, daily commute and/or road trips, so far so good on the trail, and exceeded my expectations in the snow/slush/water.
I'll buy them again. I wonder if they'll make a 37"

I hardly even hear my Duratracs. I have about 10k miles on them now with 3k rotations. If your listening for them you can hear them, but wind noise and my aftermarket exhaust are louder.

Tread Lightly Goodyear Mail-In Rebate
FYI
I just told someone at work about how much I like my Duratracs, and he bought himself a set. After he bought them we found that if you are a Tread Lightly member that you get a $100 rebate on a set of Duratracs. Just Google "tread lightly goodyear rebate," and you'll find it.

Here is the link for the membership. The $100 Goodyear rebate is good for the rest of the year. Members also get a 1% under invoice price on Jeep and Chrysler vehicles.

I'm not sure they are tough enough for off road use in rocks.

I looked at them today at Discount Tire, I thought the tire seemed soft; squishy in the tread area and sidewalls. I doubt they are as tough as Toyos or Falkens. They also seem very light for a 34.5" x 12" tire.
