Consider Kumho KL71's too. I had some and thought they were ok. My mate has them now though and says he can hear the hum they make after changing from road tyres to them on his LWB Vitara. So I don;t know if you'd find them too noise or not.
I once had some Colway AT's on my first Jimny and that is still in my Mrs extended family. They have just been replaced by normal road tyres and the current owner says there is a marked improvement in spriteliness of the car and better fuel consumption. Everyone's idea of what's acceptable differs.
I don't know what the law will be on Remoulds being sold to you as for off road use in only, but you use them on the road in 2015 - quite likely they will be illegal to use on the road also.
Another load of Euro crap - because there are loads of motors out there that have extreme tyes on that drive everyone mad with the noise they create aren't there! NOT!
Right, I'll step down from the soap box before I get going...
