I recently had service done on my Armada. The dealership told me that my Stock GoodYear Wranglers had very little tread life left after only 14,500 miles. I contacted GoodYear Corporate in Akron and lodged my concerns, stating that these tires should last me at least 35,000 miles if not a bit more. GoodYear directed me to see a local GoodYear tire store and set me up with a visit to one of their General Managers. He checked ou tmy tires and agreed that the wear was abnormal. After he contacted GoodYear corporate they prorated the tires. GoodYear Sells the SR/A Wranglers for about $180 a tires before mounting and balancing. I was quoted $413 and some change for new SR/A Wranglers complete including a road hazard package. So if you have Goodyear WRangler SR/A's on your Mada and are not satisfied with the tread wear I suggest you contact Good Year Corporate via the GoodYear Web site and do what I did to get some action.
Im not really thrilled with putting Wranglers back on my Armada, in fact, i'd much rather put Bridgestone Revo's on my stock rims, but saving more than $400 with GoodYears proration I dont think I can pass this one up for new shoes for my baby.
P.S. I have rotated my stock tires per the nissan service schedule wihich is every 7500 miles. I think i wil try and rotate more often with my new tires, that is if they get them into the store soon. Seems they are out of stock and dont know when they might get them into the store.
I wish I would have know more about the lack of replacment 18" tires for the Armada, if so I would have opeted for the off road package with the 17" tires to get more options at replacment time.
Hope this helps some of you looking for tires for the beast.

They don't make Revos to fit Madas.
I got my wheel/tire combo because of the lack of good 18" tires.
The BFG All Terrain T/A in 285-65-18 is a good alternative if you want a good A/T tire. I wanted larger width and diameter, so I had to go to 20s. ;)

According to the Tirerack.com there is a 265/70R18 Revo available.

REVOS...my $.02/worth

Hey gang,

In the process of selling my 18 LE wheels/tires, as i just bought and installed a set of SE OFFROAD 17s and a set of 285/70/17 Revos. What a nice combination! I think the truck looks TOUGH as heck now!!! ;-) I had to wait 6 weeks for them, as it was a new size as well...so I recon If'n Idda held out a while longer, I would have gotten them in an 18. This is my 2nd set, 1st was on a 2004 Chevy 2500 HD Diesel that I drove the crap out of pulling and stuff for > 35,000 miles when I sold it and they had 75% wear remaining, from a 7000# torque monster of a truck. So I am looking for these to be AT LEAST a 50,000 mile tire. Can't say enough about them! Awesome traction in any situation I ever got myself into. The stock Contis on the Armada suck in the rain, and with a load behind me, and living around a bunch of hills...it was less than confidence inspiring. I got mine from a place called Roadway Tire Wearhouse out of Florida for somwhere around $140'ish a tire.

Just thought I would chime and give my $.02 worth on the Revos for those shopping for tires.

BTW, absolutely NO ride difference from the 18s to 17s, IMHO. In fact, a lot better with the Revos, no near as harsh and certainly more planted feeling. Wish I could have done it earlier!

Later,

ST

I am MORE than pleased with these guys! Saved me $75 or so off tirerack.com and very speedy shipping with great customer service.

Highly recommend...I say this b/c the gold standard seems to be tirerack.com, so this may be a more affordable alternative. My buddy ordered some tires for his Avalanche from them and had the same experience.

Adios,

ST
