The 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 can be equipped with a variety of different tires, depending on what you are using the truck for and your climate. These various tires will affect the traction of your Silverado, as well as its ride comfort and noise level.
Goodyear Wranglers are standard tires built for reliability on city streets or other asphalt in all conditions. On a JustTires.com ratings scale, they work in all conditions, being rated 7 out of 10 in wet, dry and snow traction. However, they also receive a 7 in quiet ride and ride comfort, which could be a downside if you are using the Silverado for personal use more than business use. These tires have a 50,000-mile warranty from JustTires.
The Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 is a smaller, less costly tire for the Chevy Silverado and is unrated in certain road conditions while being highly rated in others. When it comes to traction on wet roads, Dunlop Grandtreks score an 8, and have a top rating of 10 for quiet ride. They are best suited to trucks that won't be used for off-road driving or in icy conditions. Grandtreks have a warranty of up to 60,000 miles through JustTires.
Goodyear Fortera Silent Armor tires are highly rated in all categories, receiving a 10 score in both ride comfort and quiet, and an 8 in both wet and dry conditions. In snowy conditions, they rate a 7, a relatively high score for such slippery surfaces. These tires are thicker and heavier than most Silverado tires and have a warranty through JustTires of 70,000 miles. However, they are among the more expensive tires available for this truck.
