Those are LT195/75R14, load range D. I haven't noticed any humming but A) I've only been driving on them for a week, and B) I've got loud resonating harmonics at freeway/highway speeds making it hard to hear much of anything...
Ordered them from tirecrawler.com because they had the best price I could find at $107 each, but anyplace that sells BFGoodrich should be able to get them .. even Costco (who wanted $143).

I will be getting these as well soon (loved them on my jeeps). Maybe worth noting that my local Les Schwab quoted me like $465 mounted/balanced for 4. Accounting for shipping costs that was cheaper than anything I could find online.tristessa wrote:Ordered them from tirecrawler.com because they had the best price I could find at $107 each, but anyplace that sells BFGoodrich should be able to get them .. even Costco (who wanted $143).

Get that in writing so you can hold them to that price -- somehow the prices wind up higher once the tires are installed if you don't. Just ask ruckman101...BumbleBus wrote:Maybe worth noting that my local Les Schwab quoted me like $465 mounted/balanced for 4.

Just got them balanced today. They seemed a bit bumpier than the Hankooks, but it may have been the balance. I'll let you know. And I agree. I wasn't impressed with the Hankooks in the snow. But these did very well on the icy slick snowy cold drive up to Cheryle's last Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Haven't noticed them being all that noisy, either.
