I just bought these tires and they are amazing. The set is about $150 cheaper than the Goodyear SilentArmors and the specs are almost identical. Plus, they were in stock at NTB. I picked up my grandfather today for dinner and he said, "This is the smoothest and quietest truck I've ever ridden in." I think they look good too.

UPDATE: After 10k+ miles, these tires have become a little more noisy, just barely noticeable. Otherwise, I'm still as happy as I could be with these tires.

What size did you go with? They look great.
I am looking at a new set of rubber soon. I have the GY silent armors right now in 265/70-16 and like them a lot, and am leaning at getting another set in the 265/75-16.

I stayed with the 265/70R16s like I had before. I think that's the recommended size for my model. My previous tires were Dunlop Highway All-Season and they were miserable. I only purchased them because I got a flat with the puncture in the side wall and Discount Tire didn't have the OEMs in stock. I had just replaced the A/C in my house, was tight on cash and went cheap on the tires. Biggest mistake ever. These tires made my Pathfinder feel new again. My wife and I just drove from Houston to Fort Worth and back and we're so happy with these tires.

Largest size you can go is a 265/75/16 size, at least without any issues (that's the largest stock size they put on the 16" Pathfinder wheels).

I'm not sure what all is available in a P rated tire in that size. Most of the more aggressive options are only available in a LT, which quite a few of us are running without issues.

I went with a LT all terrain tire that is working out well for me.

Do you live in a place that gets much rain. I have to get tires in the next 5k miles and am considering the Rugged Terrain. However, here in SW Louisiana we get a lot of rain.
