Goodyear’s silentarmor opinions

Gentleman, what do you think about Goodyear’s silentarmor tire line. Is it marketing hype or are they on to something? http://www.goodyearwrangler.ca/en/

Yey or nay? I’m always looking for something better, do you folks think its snake oil?

Re: Goodyear’s silentarmor opinions

I'm sure its not a bad tire, I just don't think its worth the $100 more they want for it when compared to comparable tires and doesn't really have any features enthusiasts would be interested in.

Re: Goodyear’s silentarmor opinions

I Have He Silent Armors On The Work Van I Drive Everyday And I Have To Say They Are The Best Damn Tires I Have Come Across.!!! The Tred Is Very Deep And Agressive. Great In Mud And Snow!!!!! They Are Worth Every Penny In My Oppinion And I Will Buy Them Again
THE ONLY THING ABOUT THESE TIRES IS BECAUSE OF THEM BEING SO MEATY I NOTICED A SLIGHT DECREASE IN MY MPG BUT WELL WORTH IT IN MY OPINION AND BESIDES I DONT PAY FOR THE GAS
