I may have stumbled upon a great deal on a set of goodyear tires. The available ones are the silent armor or the at/s both in 275/65r18. I have experience myself with the at/s on a chevy 1500 and was extremely pleased with them. My dad had them on a 99 F150 with good results as well. I have a friend who swears by the silent armors and will not run anything else on his F250 powerstroke. Any preference on this body style of F150? I read reviews on tirerack and they were pretty much all over the place some love and some hate for both. I drive through woods occasionally and live on 2 miles of gravel road but the majority of my driving is 2 lane rural highways.

 

The at/s come stock on the fx4 18" wheels. They would be my choice.

 

Make sure the Silent Armor's are not part of the recent recalls....I had some on my last Truck and they were good tires. Sold the truck before I could guage how long they would last though .

 

I didn't like my Silent Armors on my truck. Had them for about 30k before I sold my truck.

 

I have the Silent Armour tires. They have the same problem as the recall. But my tires have not been recalled. Goodyear limited the recall to only a few sizes and such a narrow date range. I am hoping they expand this recall to more sizes and a broader production date range.

 

The ATS tires were for 20 inch wheels so I ended up with the silent armors. So far I love them for on road driving. Have not been off road with them yet. If they do as good as the ATS in that aspect I will be quite pleased. The Big O AT's I had on it were not as capable off road as ATS's I have had on previous vehicles.

 

The SilentArmors that are recalled are only the LT tires, not the standard P-metrics.

I got the notice at work as soon as it came down from Goodyear corporate. We were first to know, since I work at a company-owned Goodyear shop.

Wrangler AT/S is a damn good tire. A bit cheaper than the SilentArmors. They don't have the Kevlar treat underlay like the SilentArmors, or the severe winter service certification symbol like the SA's either.

I'm thinking AT/S will be my next tires once my Dunlop Rover AT's are done for, since they don't make the Rover AT anymore.

Either one would be a good choice. Just depends on if you want the extra bells and whistles with the SilentArmors and wanna spend the extra cash on those.
