My favourite tyre on a whole range of LR’s was BF Goodrich All Terrains. Quiet on road and incredible grip when needed in the soft stuff.

Very long lasting - and not that expensive.

Worst “all terrain” I ever came across were Toyo’s - a friend had them fitted on a Mk2 Discovery and I’m not kidding you could hear the “road hum” from the tyres a mile off. Sounded like a military vehicle such was the “hum”.

I think these days when tyres are rated for road noise things are very different - but as his Discovery was very unpleasant to be in at anything above 50mph on tarmac on the Toyo’s - I would a) ask if you really need AT’s and b) if the answer is yes, then pay special attention to the reviews which tell you which makes are noisy on road and those that are not.

And the interesting thing was - the Toyo’s had an almost identical tread pattern to my BF Goodrich AT’s - but I would say the BF’s were not noisy at all. So it must be construction and tyre compound I would suggest.
