I bought 8 sets of those Silent Armor GYs a few years ago for our delivery and sales trucks. We had major balance issues with them, almost none of them would balance properly and several were warrantied for balance issues. They sounded great on paper, so I thought I would give them a try. The only Goodyear truck tire that I would recomend to anyone is the AT/S that Ford uses as an OE tire. I had pretty good luck with those. The ATKO BFG is a good tire but over priced IMO. I have owned many sets of the ATKOs for my personal vehichles, I know they are good tires, but I mainly bought them for their looks.
I like the looks of the new BFG Rugged terrain as well, they are not quite as expensive as the ATKO.

I've got 40k miles on my silent armors. Had them road force balanced a year after purchasing them and they've been very smooth. Excellent snow tire as well (they are snowflake endorsed). Much better on ice and snow than my Michelin MS2 but not as quiet or smooth but this is expected since the silent armor is an A/T. I like them enough to buy them again but I won't hesitate to shop the Toyo AT2, Grabber AT2. Deep down I'd like duratracs but they are very expensive.

I love my BFG All-Terrain KOs. I've had the same set on my Silverado for six years and put about 45K on them without any problems with regular (every 5K) rotations and ironically mostly city driving -- and they're still have good tread. My only complaint is that they're horrible in the rain but other than that I think you can't beat BFGoodrich or Michelin. They're definitely worth the money. My dad puts Michelin LTX A/Ts on his 09 Lariat because he likes the smoother ride and those are great as well. I think I will get the new BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/As next time around just to try them as they have a pretty aggressive looking tread but ride better.

Another vote for the LTX AT/2's. Had a set of the LTX m/s *I think* go 125,000 miles on a dually hauling heavy. Sam's or Costco used to have deals on them, but that was back around 2008 when I bought those.
