Just to let all of you who replied know, I just replaced the Goodyear Silent armors with BFG long Trail T/A. It's so quiet inside I can hear my artificial heart valve click away. The difference is incredible! the choise was down the these and the khumo's. I opted for the better winter traction. Tire Rack really helped. I bought them from a Tire Rack Mounter. They gave me $200 trade in and a $70 rebate. Even without the trade and rebate they were still lower than Tire Rack and I didn't have to schlep around the new ones and monkey with shipping. All told $330 mounted, balanced, road hazard, stems, and nitro. all is well.
Thanks everyone for the help, I really appreciate it!RdG
