Yeah, those are Nittos on the tj. They are cool looking and work great off road but man are they loud!

I think they look great but you're the 3rd person that has told me they make some serious road noise. I'm thinking of getting Goodyear MTR's w Kevlar or tried and true BFG KM2's. I've got plenty of tread left on my A/T's but want a more agressive tread for the trails that will still be hwy worthy also. That's one of the best looking full width bumpers I've seen on a JK. Did you get much sag on the nose? It looks fairly level in the pic. When I opened the pic to the larger size, it appears your running MTR's on the JK also. If so, how do you like them. Thanks.

The MTR with kevlar are a very quiet mud tire, I would say as quiet as an AT. The only bad thing is two of them were out of round and could not be balanced and had to be replaced. Thanks about the bumper, it was a good investment last Saturday for sure! We were heading to a Jeep rally running 65 MPH and a deer ran into the road right in front of us. No damage to the Jeep, just some dust and fur on the bumper.

Looks like that bumper did it's job. I have friends that have two cars totaled in the last few years by collisions with deer. Hitting an animal of any size isn't a pleasant experience.
Glad everyone is ok.
