Can't be as bad as the constant ringing I have in my ears anyway from Tinnitus, may even deaden it a bit :D but I take your comments on-board.

Probably what gave it to me in the first place!

I suspect mine came from either driving with the window down or using a chain-saw without ear protection or both.

I'm enjoying the 11 speakers of distraction after the 110 4BD1. Silence is torture.

Maxxis x 6 ordered from Jax Tyres @ $310 a piece.

The Maxxis does seem to have a bit more open tread than the Duratracs, but on paper it is a much tougher tyre.

Had my Maxxis fitted today. They are the same as the Hankooks (Tread: 2 Polyester + 2 Steel + 2 Nylon;Sidewall: 2 Polyester).

They seem to have a much better sidewall profile, ie no bulge.

Yes, not too bad, but running at 47psi ATM. Will drop this down and see how they fare. So far, a little noisier that the OEM Wranglers, but well within my tolerance threshold.

So it wasn't that phase you went through?

Hanging out the window with the Chain saw in hand.....
