Default Toyo Proxes T1r - vs.- BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2...Which are noisier IYO's

Currently running 265/30/19 T1r's and was curious how much louder the T/A KDW2's are, if at all.

KDW2's are insanely loud. I had T1R's and could barely hear them. KDW's drove me insane.

Default I run the BFG's and they're UBER loud.

Not only are they loud all the time, but at about 120km/h they make a very noticable droning noise that you can even hear with the stereo turned up. At first I thought the noise was a wheel baring issue, but mechanics on serparate occasions told me it was the tires. It also depends on how the tread is worn, I don't think mine are wearing very evenly.
If you want quieter tires, definitely don't get these.

On the plus side, these tires have really good grip. Haven't been able to make them squeel once on the road yet.

I've been in two separate cars that had these tires and the BFG's were WAY louder.
