Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour up sized to 235/70 R16. no rubbing and pretty quiet for AT tires. cannot wait for some rain or better yet some snow!

i would have taken the pic of the whole car but i''m embarrassed.....i''ve only washed the car twice since i got it in June so it is filthy.

the tires cost about $185 a piece retail. i traded my oem tires with 6k km for these so i got a trade in credit as well.
so far TPMS is not freaking out. car sits higher as well.

i had 225 on my 07 galant but i have to say 235 looks way broader. must be cause it has an aggressive squarish look to it. once i saw it on....i thought it was gonna rub. we tested it before i drove away from the shop to make sure.

was considering the BFG T/A KOs since they are the most popular and have an aggressive look as well but if you''ve ever ridden on a truck with those on you prolly realized how hard those tires are. they fell like riding on blocks of cement plus they are noisy too.
i wanted an AT tire that was going to be as quiet as possible since the ES with CVT is a pretty quiet car on its own.
plus i didn''t want to have to change to winter tires and then back to summer tires again in spring.
these tires are rated for severe snow conditions so i''m waiting to do donuts in a snowy parking lot.
