If you have the 19's then the choices are limited to either Bridgestone or Michelin (although now there may be a Pirelli fitment). Just b/c one size of a particular brand is quiet on a car, doesn't necessarily mean the same brand will make for a quiet truck tyre. Also since the vehicle is so new, there won't be many here who would have changed all 4 yet.

However, due to the large footprint of my 285 45 19's, there seems to be a noticeable amount of road noise transmitted into the cabin. Again, this is merely the result of the sheer size of the tyres. Turning the volume up on the stereo usually takes care of that minor quirk.
