I've done a search, and this questions hasn't been answered very well.
Has any one used the Goodyear Wrangle SilentArmour tires in snow and Ice? Specifically, I'd like to hear from people in Northern states and Canada, since highways conditions up here are much worse for more of the year.
So, please post up your experiences with this tire, and if you want, similar tires that you've used in snow and ice.

Yeah, i've seen the tire rack surveys, but I was hoping for some "real world" information to back that up. Anyone used these? Any idea how they compare to the Bridgestone Revo 2s? Those also rate highly.
greetings I live in upstate New York and we get a hell of a winter right outside the Adirondack mountain range by speculator Lake I had them on my last truck Fx f150 4x4 and the funny part was I had the Pro grade load range D. which I didn't need at all but the dealer had a great deal so I couldn't say no ran them at about 60 PSI they lasted almost 57,000 miles quite a nice ride too. on a scale of 1 to 10 overall 8 1/2 different conditions better or worse deep snow a 9 wet and icy surfaces 7 1/2, they are probably your best option for year-round traction compared too other all season tires they have the snowflake on the side wall which means they're rated for extreme weather like I said they do great in some conditions and other conditions it's tough to say that being said I'm looking for a set of tires for my new F350 but I think I'm going to go with just snow tires and save the continental garbage that came on the truck for the summer I'm looking at Cooper destination mud and snow winter tires about the same price as the Goodyear but being a snow tire it will be a softer compound to grab the ice and slush, also with the price of gas going up I don't want an aggressive tire all summer long it eats up your gas mileage. sorry I'm trying not to make a biography out of this but it's a complicated answer the silent armor are excellent tires, are they the best in extreme conditions 80% snow tires 100% it's up to you to decide what you need if you don't have to drive in the middle of the storm go for the silent armor but if you're going to be in the worst conditions every day by snow tires I hope I helped I'm not sure myself LOL take care
I have had these tires on 2 of my trucks for several years. I live in eastern Iowa, and we get a lot of snow and ice. I have a snowplow on one of the trucks, and these tires perform flawlessly. They are quiet on the highway and they wear well. I have about 40,000 miles on them and they still look brand new. Like any tire brands recommend, I rotste & balance them every 6000 miles.
I'm sure you won't regret them I could never say that I was sorry I had them. I didn't want to give you the wrong idea they are very quiet for how aggressive they look handling in dry weather is superb off-road great in the mud my gas mileage did drop a bit but that's to be expected the only time I thought they were a little squirmy was in 2 inches of ice and snow , can't wait to hear your opinion I just picked up my Cooper destination mud and snow the compound is really soft surprisingly a very quiet tire a little louder than the wranglers but handling is really impressive so much more control than my continentals but then again what wouldn't LOL Ford should be sued for putting that garbage on a $40 plus truck, or at least give you the option to upgrade the tires at the time of purchase take care
