New Noise after new tires

[Hylander]

Recently installed new BFG Ko2's.
Now have bad road noise mostly under throttle. Sounds like the tires gripping the road but starting to slip.
Last coming off the freeway after a 100 mile stretch it was horrible.
Inspected tires and see nothing wrong.
Ideas?
Could it be the LSD going bad?
Or is this the nature of Ko2's

KO2’s aren’t noisy. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like you’re fixing to spend some money.

Opened up the Hogs head.
Everything looks fine, no pieces of metal and gear lube was good.
Cleaned thoroughly, put fresh gear lube and friction modifier in.
I feel no play in the wheel bearings.

It is weird because all was quiet until the day I got the new tires.
Made light noise on the way home.

Confirmed,
It is the tires.
That siping is grabbing everything loose on the road.
So I need to either learn to live with it or trade them in on a set of Toyo AT3's before the 60 day garrentee runs out.

Interesting that the siping is causing road noise ? I have never seen this before. I have personally siped a ton of tires and have also had alot of siped tires on my vehicles over the years. Are the sipes 90 degrees to the road or was it done at more of an angle ? Did you end up going to the AT'3's ?

I decided to keep the BFG's.
Noise is only when going real slow.
Want to see how they perform in the winter.
