I can't tell you for an SUV but I can for my F250 truck. It came with A/T tires, Goodyear Wrangler. They were loud. Lots of road noise.

I switched them to my preferred LTX tire, Michelin Defender LTX. It is a "highway" tire. I get maybe 3 years/30,000 miles from them. But they are about 1 mpg better mileage and they are much quieter.
