Just picked myself up a set of 35x12.5 Trail Grapplers last Friday and I love them. Discount had a good price ($372/tire) which was much cheaper than I could find anywhere else. I think they look great and I like the hum they make. They're 35s, what do you expect? If I wanted something quiet, I would of bought a Honda.

I'm running the Toyo AT2's with no complaint's. P275x60x20 that are only 43 lbs ea. so they still give decent gas mileage and ride great. Got tired of the heavy 10 ply tires that sucked up the gas and performance.
Good road manners and quiet on the highway.

I prefer facts. Sources like Consumer Reports, which performs tests on tires that are repeatable, and publishes the results. I've posted that link multiple times.
