Jantiz -> RE: How do you rate YOUR tires? (3/2/2008 5:52:46 PM)

Wolf, I think you ask a very important question, and one that deserves a truthfull answer if we are to keep user ratings in perspective. I have been using my SAs for a little over a year now. About 19k miles so far. Since I live sorta close to Hollister SVRA I tend to go there frequently to have fun with the LR3. I have used and abused those tires out there. Many trips to Hector's hights, Truck hill, the Captain Morgan ditch right before truck hill, five finger hill, even the loose rock small trails leading down from Hector hights usually traveled only by the heavily modified rigs. Through all of that I can only compare the traction with the other rovers that have been out there with me in the past. And time after time, my LR3 just seems to walk right through stuff that has most of the other rigs slipping and having to get creative to navegate. Last time out, I had another LR3 with me and I noticed quite obviously that as we tried to go up the "ladder" my LR3 crawled totally slip free right up the obstacle, even with the mud that was around, while the other LR3 with different tires slipped and had to back down and try going with more speed to clear the same path. There were Discos that didn't even make it because of all the mud and those that did had to have considerable speed behind them. After we all went through I noticed people checking out what tires I had on. They could not deny the ease with which I made that obstacle.
Through all of this abuse and 19k miles later, they still run with no noise and no vibration. There have been no flats, no slices, no cuts, no chunks missing. I can only say that I plan to have nothing else on my vehicles in the future but Silent Armors. I don't get any kick backs from sales, I'm simply THAT impressed with their performance.
