    Will report on performance after a few thousand kilometres.

    Silent Armours great tyre - no punctures and tread life great after 30000km'S. Wore out original Michelins in 22000 kms on front. Cab noise a lot less also.

    Very pleased and would not hestitate replacing with Good Year.

    Cheers

    In 235/85 am looking at Silent Armour and General Grabber AT2s (depending on what day it is). They both promise a lot. Anyone had experience with AT2s in 235/85R16?

    goodyear have released a new MTR, the kevlar version, the tread pattern is a bit more aggressive and they are meant to be very tough, more so then the silent armoures! they look real good too!

    From my observations while in Oz, it's not the terrain that kills the tyres but the really low pressures that you guys like to run at. I did 30,000KM around Oz, never suffered from tyre damage and the only puctures I had were from 2x broken rims. Running at the lower pressure knackers the sidewalls & makes the tyres get too hot.

    The pressures I ran were close to the the recomended LR ones (45psi front & 60psi rear). The only time I ran lower was when on sand and then went to 25psi & 35psi.

    My 2c...

    Totally agree.I never let my tyres down in all my travels through the centre and have never had a flat.Letting tyres down is the norm in Oz,whinging about flats by the same people is also the norm. Pat
