AD or TF, stock or modifed wheels? On my 59 I ran stock 16" wheels with 6.75 military type tread, then aggressive mud and snow tires. When I installed the 74 K10 drive train I ran 74 steel rims with the same at first. The originals never went fast enough to be a bother, but with the new drive train, freeway noise drove me nuts, as well as the harder ride. I switched to some all weather truck radials, shinny 225/75R16 to keep them under the fenders (see avatar), and loved them, no noise, softer ride. I drove it off road in snow, mud, etc. and never got in a situation where the tire was the limiting factor. Any aggressive tread is going to be somewhat noisey, even modern radials, its physics but for toodling around town not as noticable.
