Hi all, I have 2003 Jimny that has Sahara 215/75 15 tyres on and boy are they noisy ! Looking to replace them but don't want to end up with different tyres that are just as noisy.
Anyone got any suggestions please?

I assume you mean Insa Safari Turbo Tyres. If so these are very aggressive mud tyres and will be very noisy. I suggest you ask around in your area for a suitable every day road tyre, but be aware that if you need the grip of the Safari's you will just have to suffer the noise.

What tyres do you have now and what is your intended use? Lots of choice these days. But will depend on your expectations and where you want to use them to how suitable they are.

I don’t think the Trac-Edge has been available for best part of 20+ years.

I agree, the BFG AllTerrain seem to go on for ever, brilliant off road and look great. However, the cold wet tarmac grip of the BFG is appalling. If it weren’t for their other strengths I’d choose something else.
