alright, so i want bigger tires but not this go-around.... has anyone had luck with the new goodyear wrangler silent armor's in the 275/65/18?

 

They are getting pretty good reviews so far.

 

Just put a set of 265/70/17 AT's on my work truck. Not bad so far. Ride is good, with just a tad of cold weather flat spot in the mornings.

A very slight whine at highway speed, but you have to turn off the radio and listen hard for it.

I'd buy another set.

 

well i've got the at/s's on my truck right now and hate them ... wet traction sucks... but i heard the silent armor's are supposed to be alot better

 

ive got the fortera silent armor in stock size, the look great, i just wish i got better mileage out of em. Two have about 18k and other two have 12k and all 4 are about eaten through, two b.c of more miles, other two b.c of my crappy alignment. But the tires ride great, and are quiet. Ill keep buying them with the prorated warranty, until i grab some new rims.

I just put on the Wrangler Silent Armors 2 months ago, love em. Totally love them, bigger size, 285/70/17, they look huge compared to the 265/70/17 that I had. I've had 2 sets of Wrangler AT/S and loved them too. We just got some snow and they grip really good. We have only had a dusting really but can't wait till the inches fall. I have always had nothing but good to say about them.

 

I just put a set on my 05 Lariat. Just got back from a trip to our cabin. Had over a foot of snow on the twotrack back to our place. I was pulling a loaded 2 place sled trailer and the tires were flawless! Never slipped even a little and they were quiet on the x-way going up. Big upgrade from the BFG's that came on it. (which are for sale BTW) shameless plug

 

Was that a UP cabin by chance?

 

I wish! My cabin is in Baldwin, On the Pere Marquette. Had a bunch of snow. Was great sledding while it lasted Where in the UP are you? Do you sled??

 

I live in Brimley, which is about 45 minutes north of the bridge. We had about 24" of snow in that week span between Dec. 1-9, but it turned to spring last week. Nothing but stupid rain.

I sled quite a bit. You ever come up this way?

 

When the opportunity arise's Just so you know I ride a Rev, Not that it matters to me what anyone rides....Just some people are brand bias. John

 

Nice pic. Where was that taken?

I tried to PM you, but I am not able. Shoot me an email (e_mailfordoug at yahoo) or PM if you want to talk sledding. I hate to hijack threads like this!:o

 

Around the corner from my cabin...literally! And I was thinking the same thing about the hijack I'll shoot you a e-mail
To the original poster, sorry and the Goodyears Rock!

 

Hey guys---not to hikack the thread, but I was at Houghton Lake a while back---I guess the place is called "tip-up Town" becasue of the ice fiching. I have also reffed at Dentral Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan and Northern Michigan. How far do you guys live from one of those places?
