How are those for daily drivers as far as ride comfort and noise level?
Depends on the size and spec you get. A lot of them are E range which no matter what the tire is isn't going to ride great. Noise though they are very miminal. I'd say equivalent to the BFG All-Terrain KO2. Way quieter than the terra grappler. The 285-75-17 in load range C would be absolutely perfect for the Bronco. Much lighter and better riding than the D&E load range tires.

Or the 37x12.5x17 D I plan on going to when my baby comes in ;)

I had Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/70/17 C load on my 2016 4Runner.
Ride comfort was great. Noise was good for the semi aggressive tread pattern.
They were very good off road aired down to 17 PSI.

I ran KO2's on my Power Wagon (315/70/17's), they have a great reputation and they were pretty quiet on the highway, but I recently put on a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W's on it, not only are they quieter, they seem to have even better traction off road. When I wear out the original tires on my Squatched Black Diamond I'll go with the Falken's for sure.

I had planned to run Falken Wildpeak AT3W's but hearing about the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/70/17 they seem good and may handle our Texas mud better. When I look that size up I see they also come in a load range S/L, like the Wilepeaks, my preferred load range for 95% daily drive comfort, time for some more research.

Some give and take here.
The SL is over 9 pounds lighter than the C load, but the tread depth of SL is 13.5 compared to 16.4.

They all start off quiet when new. As they wear the noise will increase. The KO2's on my Raptor were very quiet for the first half of their life. Now I am starting to hear them. The Duratrac's on my FJ Cruiser started quiet. At about 10k miles they started to get loud.
This is truth! I’ve had BFG’s, ridge grapplers, Mickey Thompson’s and duratracs. All started quiet as they wear they get much louder.

I'm pulling the trigger on new wheel and tires. Think the big ko2 at looks good, i want QUEIT tires. Any advice?
Have you purchased the new tires? How did the noise level change? I test drove my new Bronco and my ears wouldn’t stop popping from the airplane-like pressure and booming noise. Trying to figure out if it’s only the tires or the combo of the hardtop and tires.

He hasn't been around in over 2 years, so I'll be shocked to hear about the tires.

Seriously, what the heck?

I haven’t been on here either. It’s been about 3yrs since my order. The cabin pressure and noise is overwhelming. Talk about pressure headache; worse than an airplaneZ. I’m just trying to figure out how to remedy it, before I purchase.

Maybe a new thread with your specific issues. My guess is one of the panels is not installed correctly on the top, assuming it's a hard top.

If it's a hard top, read through this thread:

I went with Bridgestone Dueler LT315's. Quiter on the highways. Perform well on the trail when deflated. But I don't do any rock crawling these days.
