Pirelli Scorpion STR's All Season's is what came with my truck, and that's what I replaces them with when it came time. Great 3 season tire. Fair to okay for winter use. Bought regular snow tires mounted on their own rims. Rotate every 5k miles. I got about 45k out of the originals, until I bought the snows. Truck now has 93k and tires A-O-K.

I have had Goodyear tires on a lot of vehicles that I purchased. When they wore out, I did not go back with Good Year. I think they are the biggest piece of junk as far as tires go. I had a set on NCT Good years on a Z28 when I was younger. $385 each! they lasted 30,000 miles and they would NOT hold balance. I had good year Wranglers on an Expedition, 35,000 and they were shot. Price quote to replace them was almost $600. I put a set of Coopers on it and called it good. Sold the truck with 47,000 on the tires and they still looked new. I also couldn't keep the Wranglers in balance. I have also had the wrangler HP on the wifes truck.... same thing, 35000 and worn out, not to mention they rode like a rock. I also put a set of Coopers on it.
I'm lost. These Goodyear Silent Armors will not balance. 200/tire balanced borders on criminal. No balance possible--one was even out of Goodyear specs and will be replaced. The ride is HORRIBLE. I will never buy another Goodyear.

Well, Jbird went off half-cocked. Talked to Goodyear Customer Service and they have offered to see that the tires balance or they will do whatever is necessary to make it drive right. Bad tires on my truck, but good company makes em as far as my dealings go.
