GY Wrangler All Terain Adventure - replacements for GY Silent Armor?

[whistlingwind]

I have been running Goodyear Silent Armor tires on my '06 T4R for 50K miles and have been very pleased with them. I do off-pavement trips in CA and NV deserts several times a summer. Mostly rocky, unimproved dirt roads that have never seen a blade that can be quite rough. Some sand and gravel, and sharp rocks are common. The Silent Armors never had a problem, were quiet on the pavement and handled well.

But it's time to replace them before the next adventure. Would the newer GY Wrangler "All Terrain Adventure" a good replacement?


Thanks,

Yep. The Adventure line replaced the SilentArmor line, had a set on my previous 4x4 and they will be my next set on my 4runner. They're quiet, tough and rated for 70000 miles, best tire I've owned on a truck.

I replaced the stock Dunlops with the GY adventures, mostly for their ability in snow. Here is my assessment:

1. Great tire in snow and pretty good on wet roads.
2. Good, not great, off-road tire. Not sure how it would do in mud but think not so great.
3. Quiet highway ride and a nice stable platform.
4. I have 25,000 mi on them and they seem to wear like iron.

On the other hand,

5. I took a significant hit in MPG from 22+ down to current 18.4. That's a big percentage drop.
6. I got a LT category and need to fill to 50PSI to be equivalent to the 32 for a passenger tire (airing up takes a lot longer after being off-road.)

Just my $0.02.
