Check out the RT instead, much better tire if you're looking for better off-road performance, snow/ice performance, and better wear. The RT is a fantastic tire best I can tell, certainly puts the AT to shame all around on and off road.
The footprint is quite full, plenty of grip surfaces, and shouldn't be the least bit noisy. It also has C and D load ranges, so they should have pretty firm sidewalls and good handling.
