Looking for tires

So I got a nail in my tire Saturday and it can not be plug, will need to be replaced. And the place can’t do it till this up coming Friday, so I put my spare on and was really surprised with how much tread I have gone through already. Sooo... with that I am thinking that I will only get another 10-15,000 miles out of them anyway and looking to just change them all out to a good tire, currently have continentals, and am looking at the Goodyear wrangler silent armors. It would be the same size 255 70 17

Any one running the silent armors?

Also what are other good truck tires out there?

Firestone Destination M/T - Awesome Mudder, not so loud on pavement
Bridgestone Revo A/T - Amazing good all around tire
Wrangler AT - Currently on the truck. 17k miles and they still look pretty darn new
Michelin LT M/S - Best tires I've ever owned...very expensive
BFG - ok, but there are better out there, but if the price is right...go for it.

the continentals are crap. The Silent Armors are still too new to get a good read on them.

You will not be disappointed with the G-Y Silent Armors. I had a set on my old truck and loved them. Great in the rain and fairly quiet.

I did lose about 1/2 mpg going from an all season highway type tire to that one though. Regardless, it was worth it.
