The M/T's have a kind of herringbone pattern, so they're not bad at all.

We have a company truck with similar tires for going on remote radio sites. They rattle teeth at low speeds, and are pretty much a log truck on the highway. Their tread bars are crossways, and the ''bars'' whump down one after another. With the diagonal/herringbone pattern, each bar is starting to touch the road as the last one picks up. So, no hammering of the tread lugs. At least that's my theory, because they are very livable. I actually expected much more noise than they make.
