Ok I have those factory general tires and at 105-110 mph they
get real noisy all of sudden, did this 4 times. I am new to trucks and speed, so are most truck tires noisy at high speeds or just
these crappy generals?

I don't know if they are rated to go that fast or not, I would be somewhat worried with them at those speeds...

Yeah, the Generals are crap. I changed my as soon as I could. My Yokohama V-rated AVS S/T's are a little louder at all speeds but they don't get loud at high speeds like that. I would seriously be worried about going that sorta speed on the stockers too. I have seen some completely shred the tread off at higher speeds.

Eh, I wouldn't complain about stock tires...they are just that. If all I needed was to get to and 'fro I'd keep them. I've owned a vehicle with General tires in the past, they had a nice wear life and were fine in the daily commute.
They are NOT performance orientated...

Your sig says your truck is bone stock....did you get your pcm tuned?
Because if not then your truck would shut off at around 97mph. So that would mean those tires were getting loud at even lower speeds.
One thing is for sure. If you are gonna do anything over 90mph in a truck, then you need some performance tires.
