hey. im thinking about getting a new set of shoes for my truck and i'm torn about what i should buy, i was thinking either the Goodyear Silent Armor, or the Bridgestone AT Revo. im thinking eaither the 245 75 16 (stock) or maybe a 265 75 16 . anyone have other suggestions for tires i should look at?
thanks!

go with the revo... its a great smooth riding tire with a loooong tread life. i dont know too much about the silent armors but the revo is awesome.

 

i would go with the revo's. they are a great tire. goodyear on the other hand just plain sucks

 

The silent armor and the revo are good but have you considered getting the goodyear wrangler duratrac. there a great looking tire. Thats the tires i'm gonna be getting plus there relativley low in price for what they are

 

thanks! ive heard mixed reviews.

 

i havent even heard of them, do you know anything about them?

 

what do you want to do with your tires mostly on road but light off roading or what?

 

The Silent Armor's run super duper nice, therangerofdanger on here has them. Not very aggressive but the ride is great.

 

Well here's a pic of them so you can see them.



I work at sears and were gonna be starting to sell them. but all the people that have them on there trucks that come in love them. they say there not real loud on the road they ride smooth, and they say they do amazingly good in the mud. but from what i kno they are a mix of a mud tire and A/T mixed...Plus its a goodyear there good tires for sure

 

mostly on road, light offroading but i would like to get more into it the tires i have just arent cut out for anything.

 

i like them! i actually looked at sears for the silent armors and revos they seam to have good prices online but the revos arent on the website but i know they have them in the store. any idea when they are going to start selling them?

 

I have a set of the silent armors, they look good and they dont make much noise but they have the same problems as any other goodyear, they are not round. The balancer I have at work measures tire road force which is really just a measurement of how round the tire is, all 4 tires are at the high end of what is considered acceptable. If I had it to do again I would go with the Revos or the Michelin LTX AT2.

 

good to know thanks!

 

I kno for sure we do sell the revo...i can find out when were gonna start selling the Duratrac for you tommorrow. And as for the revo, i didn't have them but i had the regular A/T and it did real good as well. The silent armor is pretty much just a awesome tire and it don't look real aggresive but i'm sure it could hold its own in the mud and snow.

 

ok thanks! yeah depending on price i might go with the duratrac. thanks for your help!

 

i think you should get general grabber at2s there a good tire for a decent price

 

how are they in rain/snow?

 

This is what goodyears did to my truck at about 60-75% tread left...when it ripped off while I was on the highway. Its enough for me to never buy them again. At least it stayed inflated...

 

they says they are great, i havent run them but people that have them on here live by them. i would get them but i want an m.t since my truck sees more trails than anything

 

wow 18 replies and no reference to bfgs.

 

the grabbers are a cheaper version of the bfgs

 

you can get a 245/75/16 grabber for 123 each and 265/75/16 grabbers for 138 a piece


compared to the bfgs 245 bfgs are $166 and 265 are $177


people say there the same time so why not buy the cheaper one

 

yeah, the grabbers copy the BGFs pretty closely.

BFGs


Grabbers


reviews on tirerack have the grabbers rated higher than the BFGs, but the BFGs have many more miles reported.

 

look at 4wheel parts, they are the cheapest around for bfgs.... 265 for $177, wow dude, check their site out, i got my 33's for 169 a piece
