I recently replaced the stock tires on my 3/4 Chevy 4wd. After doing some research I selected these Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro-Grade. They are unbelievable and I highly recommend them. They've been great in mud, slippery grass and now some very deep snow. I bought them at Sears because for some reason they were around 20% less than anywhere else.

 

I got the same tire in the non-pro grade for my wife's Jeep. They've been very good in the snow. I got BG Goodrich Commercial Traction TA for my GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 and they've also been very good.

 

We very seldom get any snow down here but do have a lot of muddy conditions. I had BFG all terrains that were great in everything but mud. I now have Toyo MT's and they have trouble in the mud too. Look's like I'm going to have to stay on the pavement!!

 

Skychief, the BF Mud Terrains are very aggressive. I figure if you can't make it through with those it's time to stay out of the mud.

 

After selling tires for a Jeep dealer for a few years have found the Firestone Destination AT to be one of the best all terrain tires made! When you look at $ for $ and give them a try you will see what I mean. Check out the customer survey below and judge for yourself.

Whats the different between the pro and non-pro grades????

 

The Pro-Grade are a commercial series meant for 3/4 ton and larger. I don't recall all the details but it was a little more involved figuring out what tires to get for a 3/4 ton.

 

Ran a set if these back when I had my 82 Bronco fullsize. They were GREAT and cheap!
Current price is $136 for a 31x10.5x15. I think I paid $114 when I bought mine.

 

When you have a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup you get into D or E, 8-10 ply rated tires. To carry that kind of load on single rear wheels means 80 pounds of pressure in the tires. (At least on my GMC) They just have to be sturdy enough to take the extra pressure and load of a bed full of firewood or other heavy material. I once bought 700 square feet of oak flooring and put it in a pickup with C rated Light Truck tires. Max. pressure was 35 lbs. and I had them aired all the way up. It still looked like I was riding on the rims.

Live and learn. Both my pickups have been either 3/4 or 1 ton since then. Much safer.

 

Ah...I understand now. Thanks
