Good Year Silent Armor's ...are they any good?

G'Day,

Based on my recent tyre purchasing experience, and with absolutely no affiliations, anyone in Sydney looking to buy tyres would be silly not to ring Tempe Tyres.

I was quoted anything ranging from $380 - $470 for Continental Cross Contact AT's in OEM size 255/60 R18 but purchased them for about $320 each balanced and fitted at Tempe.

Even when I suggested one of the dealers with a tyre outlet try and match that price, they laughed.

Might be an easy way to check pricing as they have been consistently the cheapest I can find.

Well the decision is finally made I will be getting a set of the 265x60x18R Silent Armors for the D3. If and when I need to get something a bit more agressive I'll get some 17's and some muds.

I will have them next week sometime so I will report back how I find them after I have done a few thousand k's. I'm going to put the Conti's, which still have quite a bit of life left in them, on the D2a and take the 16's off for now.

cheers,
Terry

Took this SA out for the first real off road trip and sliced one sidewalk 20 mins in.
Just bad luck I hope. Will post pic when I work out how!:eek::o

Hey Petera,

a question if you don't mind, are you going to take it back to the dealer and ask them to do something about it?

cheers,
Terry

Hi Terry,
i thought about it, but i think it wouldn't be covered under warranty. Do you think i should take it back?

Why not - it is an AT tyre supposedly designed for some offroad use - it is marketed as such.
