68dB Quietest tyres

The quietest 215/75 R15 tyres are labelled at 68 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tyre. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.

Toyo Open Country AT III 215/75 R15 15,000 miles December 12, 2025
I've had this tires on a Suzuki Jimny, so a light car. After 20.000km, they have half the tire tread and I'm not sure they will reach 50.000km.
They are quiet and light (2kg lighter than a Falken Wildpeak), did pretty well offroading and quite well on the road but the main problem is the wear. Not sure if I will buy them again or go for Falken

Maxxis Bravo AT771 215/75 R15 Suzuki Jimny November 12, 2024
I just gotten the AT 771 Bravos for my 2023 Jimny after reviewing and comparing several other brands. Overall, I really like them so far and they are far better than the stock tires.

Main use is mostly roads with some light to mild off road during weekends.

Bridgestone Dueler AT 001 215/75 R15 Suzuki Jimny 10,000 miles August 22, 2022
Fitted these tyres on a new Suzuki Jimmy as I needed an all terrain an all season tyre due to living in the hills in the countryside. Initial observation was that the sidewalls have no strength and although the Jimmy is a very light vehicle the tyres had to be overinflated by 3 to 4 psi to stop the vehicle from bouncing. Once the tyres were inflated more the vehicle handling was back to normal but this has a detrimental affect on grip and presumably wear too as this also does not appear particularly good with tyres down 4mm in 10k miles. I could not recommend these tyres, they seem to be significantly flawed.

Habilead Practicalmax AT RS23 215/75 R15 Jeep XJ Cherokee 200 miles November 15, 2020
le point faible de ces pneumatiques est la stabilité en courbe : il dérive énormément en entrée de virage comme si le train arrière avait du jeux puis il se cale et la voiture fini par tourner ! il motrice très bien, mème sur la terre. il n'y a pas de différence de comportement entre le sec et le mouillé : il dérive beaucoup mais ne décroche pas complètement. je ne l'ai pas testé sur la neige et la glace . je pense que c'est un pneumatique qui est bon en conditions difficiles et piégeuses mais qui manque de rigueur à haute vitesse . the weak point of these tires is the stability in curves: it drifts a lot when entering a bend as if the rear axle had play then it stalls and the car ends up turning! he drives very well, even on land. there is no difference in behavior between dry and wet: it drifts a lot but does not stall completely. I have not tested it on snow and ice. I think it's a tire that is good in difficult and tricky conditions but lacks rigor at high speed.

Gripmax GripMax AT 215/75 R15 Suzuki Samurai 2,000 miles March 5, 2020
I used the tyre GRIPMAX AT on my oldtimer Suzuki Samurai SJ 413 (1988) in the size 215/75R15. It was a great tyre in sand (dunes and beach), mud and on pavement. They are cheap and perform well. I was impressed. I decided it to buy them again as an extra set of tyres for my SUV Mazda CX5 2L AWD 160 hp with automatic gearbox (2017) Where the Suzuki is an noisy car 4X4 car, the Mazda is a refined SUV well isolated and silent. The GRIPMAX AT (50 % on road / 50 % offroad) was a bad choice for the Mazda because of the roadnoise. They did great in mud and sand but i prefer the BF GOODRICH URBAN TERRAIN in the same size 225/65/R17 (90 % on road / 10 % offroad) because of the noise. The GRIPMAX AT on a silent SUV will spoil the drive on road. From 50 km/h on the tyres produces a buzzing sound. At highway speed (120 km/h) the sound becomes better because of the wind. You can compensate the noise a bit by turning your radio louder. Slow 4x4 driving is OK. GRIPMAX AT are good for older 4X4 that already produce noise.

Falken Wildpeak WP AT01 215/75 R15 Volkswagen Transporter 1,000 miles January 17, 2013
After many years with Goodrich TAs with one carcass deformation I felt the need for a change. In the size I was after I had limited choice, however with good reviews of the Wildpeak I took the plunge. They balanced very easily with little weight and initial feelings of road manners were very good - quieter than the TAs they replaced and with better grip wet or dry. Off-road they have a slightly different character to the TAs, and whilst they would brake traction and spin in similar conditions, the actual traction is better. Even when spinning they seem to bite harder than the TAs and keep the van moving. I will definitely replace the fronts with the Falkens when the time comes.
