Don't see a "Goodyear SA" tire avaliable on the Goodyear website. If you mean Goodyear SR-A, stay FAR FAR FAR away from them. They came stock on the Liberty and it is by far the worst tires you can put on a Jeep. I have the Firestone Destination A/Ts, they are a great all around tire on and offroad, snow, rain, everything. Do a search on here and on Jeep KJ Country. You'll find a bunch of threads on tires. |

I am. Got them with about 70% tread left in a Moab deal. I like them, so far, but have yet to go a winter with them. Got to be better than the SR-A's I took off!!! |

My last set was the Silent Armours and they were great for what they were which is an AT tire. They took me through a lot and I have no regrets. The only reason I switched was to get a more aggresive tread design. Terry |

Honestly.. The goodyear ST's were terrible, goodyear SRA's aren't bad till they get older. Mine had 1/2 tread at 63,000.. Only switched because moved to college, much faster paced driving, and I did my lift. SA''s are suppose to be ok |

I'm running them in a 245/75R16 Load C. They're the best tires I've had on the KJ so far. They're great in rain, snow, ice, and a little bit of mud. Wouldn't want to get into any deep mud though. |

Amazing tire for rain, ice and snow. Going on my third winter with them here in northern canada and no problems(even with the ol'e lady driving). Will run them all next summer and then they are history. Best At tire ive ever had (and yes ive had many). If you get snow where you are these are good tires. Josh |

I had a set on my XJ, (30/9.50/15) and they rode quiet and smooth. They worked well in the small amount of snow I used them in. General off-roading they worked well. |

I'd ran BFG AT KO's for 8 years, on many different vehicles, but last year I decided to give the SilentArmors a try. They get better traction than the BFG's, and a HELL of a lot quieter, and are about the same price. You won't be disappointed. |

Very smooth, quiet tire for an AT. Makes wet pavement feel like dry. Sheds gravel well.

I just put a set of 245x70r16 Wrangler Silent Armor tires on my Liberty Sport... completely stock suspension, no rubbing, no problems. Really like the way these feel on the road. (I already had a set on my TJ, so that was no surprise). One of the best road tires out there... off road, not so much.
