I bought the Toyos (35-12.5-18) for the truck in my sig with a levellling kit and my employee bought the Kumhos (35-12.5-17) for his Dodge with a levelling kit. We did this a few months ago and are watching the wear rates, etc. The Kumhos were quite a bit cheaper (in both sizes).
If we had more time with these, I could help out more. As for road noise, they both exhibit that hum that tires like this do! IMHO the Kumhos look a bit meatier with their huge blocky lugs but most of my miles are highway and I expect the Toyos will last longer in this application.

I have the MT TOYOs...37-13.5-20s. I really like them, but they are very expensive. However, I've heard that if you properly rotate them, they'll go upwards of 50k in normal conditions. We'll see. Good luck in your choice...I'm sure whatever you pick, they will look good since their on a Ford.

I was contemplating the same set up and almost everybody i talked to said go toyos that I would get alot more life out of em. The kumhos are supposedly softer but I still like the way they look.
