Tire Noise
Ben, here's a larger pict:
The BFG KM2's came highly recommended to suit my needs which was 90% street and 10% off-road. I specifically ask for a quieter tire although I was warned that over time it gets louder as the wheels become imbalanced.
As far as agility, yes I'm talking about lane changes and the such. You definitely know you're driving a big truck. Stock is more agile in turns and lane changes but not so much that I would make it an issue. A BIG problem are blindspots. A small VW bug parallel parked behind me and I almost backed into it! The ONLY thing that saved me was that I saw its shadow on the street before reversing.
-----
08 Wrangler X
4.5" RE Long Arm Lift
5.13 Gears
Mickey Thompson Classic Chrome 17" Rims
BFG KM2 37's
6 Hella 500 -- 4 Front / 2 Rear
Sirius/Infinity 5-Disc 6 speaker sound pkg + Sony Xplode 600 Watt Amp
Powering 2 additional 6x9's & 10" Secondary Subwoofer

Finally got my 37"s. Just did a 1" body lift this week to give me a little room. I took it offroad a couple weeks ago and stuffed the driver front into the frame on a downhill. Maybe need to adjust the steering stop.
