    Goodyear Fortera
SilentArmor
Looking into the Goodyear Fortera
Silentarmor tires? The Goodyear Fortera Silentarmor
tires are a pretty popular line of tires. They are
highway tires that are all-season for light trucks and SUV
drivers and they provide a quiet ride while at the same time
giving you the rugged strength you expect from a truck
tire. The tire is designed to give good traction in
both dry and wet conditions as well as snowy
conditions.
As far as what the Goodyear Fortera
Silentarmor technology is, there is basically a longwearing
tread compound put into the tread that improves the traction
and ride comfort while at the same time reducing the level
of noise perceived by the occupants.
There are grooves around the tire that are
staggered and also curvilinear sipes in the tread to help
the adherence of the tire to the road under any road
conditions.
The wheels have 2 high tensile steel belts
within them that are reinforced by a layer of DuPont Kevlar
which helps the tire resist puncturing and other abrasions,
there is also a rim guard protector that keeps wheels from
encountering curb damage.
Now there is also a “comfort zone” here
where you have super shock absorbency in the rubber layer
between the tread and the steel belts that gives about 20%
more cushion than other SUV and light truck
tires.
Now this is all well and good, but what
you really want to know are the tires to look out for and
the prices, so here’s a look at what options there
are:
1. Goodyear FORTERA SILENT
ARMOR Tire - P235/75R15 105T OWL
Here’s one that you can pick up at Sears
for $149.11 per tire. As mentioned earlier, this tire
combines rugged toughness with comfort and a quiet ride and
it is coming with the staggered grooves, curvilinear sipes,
DuPont Kevlar and all the other bells and whistles
previously mentioned.
2. P255/70R16 Goodyear
Fortera SilentArmor Tires
This one here is a more expensive version
which is $193.99 as found on Amazon. The tire is 30.1
x 10.2 x 30.1” and weighs in at 36 pounds. In finding
out which tire to get, you’re going to have to take into
consideration the size of the tire you’re going for and
generally the bigger the tire, the more its going to
cost.
Now there are several other ones available
but that should give you an idea of the price range you’re
dealing with, although I have seen them go for $110
each. Do a bit more research online for the Goodyear
Fortera SilentArmor tires and you should be able to find
them.
