Need new tyres

Looking at replacing the tyres on my FL2 HSE, have done 47000Km on Goodyear Wrangler HP All weather 235/60R18.
There is very limited number of tires in this size and I am looking at Goodyear Wrangler AT-R. What is the road noise like on these tyres?
And the other one is the Pirelli Scorpion AT or AT/R but at bouble the prise of the Goodyears?? Rolling Eyes
Any other reccommendations??

My new 2010 HSE has the 19" rims but with the Continental ContiCrossContact UHP's (which are available in an 18" rim diameter to suit according to the web site.)

Although I've only driven about 60km so far they seem very quiet and smooth. They rate this tyre as 95% on road and 5% off road, which suits me, but there are loads of other options too.

Hi Liberty555
Thanks for your reply. Looked at the Conti's on the web site and it looks nice. I would like some tyre more towards 80% on road and 20% off road. Will go and see a tyre dealer this week.

I have the conti UHP for a year and 40000Km, very good tyre with very short stoping distanses, nice ride with no noise, but it is dissapointing in snow-ice or mud.
My previous tyres were the pirelli scorpion zero, but they barely lasted for 35000Km.
My next try in tyres will probably be the Vredestein quatrac3 SUV. If anyone has already tried them I wouls like some feedback.
