These are what we use. Fantastic, great traction and very quiet on the road. I have put over 40,000 miles on a set. You will want the Prograde for heavy hauling.

More info on them.


Wrangler SilentArmor tires are Goodyear's premium On-/Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tires designed to please pickup, van and SUV drivers with their satisfying on- and off-road capabilities. In addition to standard-duty Wrangler SilentArmor tires, Goodyear also offers a heavy-duty Wrangler SilentArmor Pro-Grade version for three-quarter and one-ton light trucks that regularly haul or tow heavy loads. All Wrangler SilentArmor tires are designed to handle tough off-road conditions, provide a smooth on-road ride and generate traction in dry, wet and snowy conditions.

Wrangler SilentArmor tires use long-wearing, silica-blend tread compounds (Pro-Grade tires feature an even more chip- and chunk-resistant tread compound that also enhances wear in high-torque applications). These compounds are molded into a multi-faceted symmetric tread design with shoulder and sidewall appearances that offer a rugged look and blend on-road comfort with off-road and wintertime traction (tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the mountain/********* symbol).

Goodyear's Durawall rubber compound is molded at the base of the tread grooves to increase resistance to stone/rock drilling. The tire's internal structure includes an Armor Zone that consists of twin, high-tensile steel belts reinforced by a layer of DuPont KEVLAR cord to combine strength with comfort. The Durawall rubber compound is also used in the sidewalls to resist scuffing and abrasion to protect the polyester cord body, and rim guards help protect wheels from accidental on- or off-road hazards.

Wrangler SilentArmor On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires are branded with the mountain/********* symbol to identify they meet industry severe snow service standards.
