Goodyear Fortera SilentArmor
$200.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Dry performance is relatively consistent - smooth ride when tires are fully pumped.
The Cons:Many users report longevity issues - balancing, rotating frequent pressure checks may be necessary after as little as 5,000 miles. Treads tend to wear unevenly - prescribed rotations result in unbalanced tires. Performs especially poor in moist conditions - light rain and snow may pose serious problems.
Goodyear's Fortera SilentArmor tires are for trucks or SUVs and have a specially designed interior that provides a very quiet ride with durability. There is a highly-absorbent layer under the treads that absorbs impact and keeps the ride quiet, and beneath that a layer of Kevlar for extra strength and toughness.

There is a similar protective layer on the sidewalls to guard against damage, as well as a rim protector that guards wheels from curb damage. The tread itself has circumferential grooves and deep blades, providing good traction in wet and dry conditions, and decent winter handling.

Prone to undesirable road noise - seating adjustment may help, but has been reported ineffective for the most part

Overall ride quality is very poor - anything less than a fully-pumped tire yields a bumpy, uncomfortable ride
