I’ve still got quite a few miles left on my 22 Platinum’s original tires but have been really leaning towards getting these when it’s time to replace

I’ve had no issues with the grabbers and do have concerns with an increase in noise and slight reduction in range so have also been considering just getting another set of them instead of changing anything.
I've been pretty happy with the BFG K03’s. They are fairly quiet for an all-terrain tire.

After wearing the Hankook’s out in 40K I’m happy with the Defenders. After nearly 10K, they are as quiet and as efficient as the Hankook’s.

Just to close the loop on this one, I got the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 (275/50R22) and holy cow what a difference they have made. Smooth ride and the vibration is completely gone. Now it makes me wonder if I had a bad General tire since I got the truck.

If you have a Platinum and don’t want the full off road tire, I’m very happy with the Michelin so far!

General tires are cheap. LTX make everything else feel like crap.

I noticed there are two with tirerack, so which ones did you get? Looks like the main difference is the load rating.

The bottom one is a higher load tire which is heavier which isn’t needed the top one is correct. I try to stick to Costco website because they only install the correct load tires.

Is there a difference in noise?

No, they are the same or maybe even a little quieter.
For those asking, here is the sidewall of mine for comparison:
