Tire swap???

I need your help deciding if this makes sense...

I've been considering swapping my set of five, 1-year old Goodyear Silent Armors (10,000 miles) for a set of new DuraTracs in the same size.

I've been very happy with the Silent Armors and even just did a trail ride in the snow without any problems! The tires have been great all-around (I did a 2200-mile highway trip last summer, great on ice, great on wet roads, etc) but I have grown to love the looks of the DuraTracs!

Do you think it's worth it to change at this point? I don't know how much the Silent Armors would be worth as either trade-in or private party sale, but figured some of you guys might have experience in the matter.

Let me know what you think!

Much appreciated,
~Doozi

Wow! No feedback at all?!

That's alright... I figured that I'd have to put in at least $250 to swap and my Silent Armors prove themselves, time and time again, to be a great all-around tire! I've decided to put the money toward some other mods.

LoL! I do really like the Duratracs, but my tires haven't let me down yet and I'm finding other things to spend money on... VSC-off mod, exhaust, and I'm going to design custom drawers that fit under the double-decker shelf in the back!
