Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro Grade - STINK

LT265/70R-17/E1 121R Had them on for a week. These don't just stink, they SUK! 58 MPH to 62 MPH out of balance then again at 65 MPH It felt like the front wheel were loose.

Handling was like driving on marshmallows. They (Discount Tire) had me bring them in to "Adjust air pressure" No change. Soft, mushy, felt like I was pulling a trailer when I did a test swerve.

I just replaced them with Michelin LTX A/T 2 LT265/70R17 night and day difference.

I had BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO but only got about 30K miles.

Thanks for letting me vent.

The topper was waiting for 20 min to pay while some lady let her 3 yr. old drive a hard plastic truck up and down the tile floor.

I had them on my old truck. Admittedly, they were spongy but they handled pretty good, wore well, and did great in all conditions. Also never had any issues with balancing.

Sorry to hear you had all those issues though!!!
