2007 Chevy 2500 tires
I recently replaced the tires on my truck with goodyear wrangler silent armor prograde. I have noticed that the rubber is very soft and perform terribly on the high highway. Truck is all over the road. Thinking the truck was the problem, had the pitman arm, inner tie rods, and steering stabilzer replaced. Truck is still wandering allover the road. Has anyone else used these tires and experienced that same results?

Yep, it's the tires. They suck.
I have brand new Goodyear Wrangler HTs on my Ford Dually at the moment. I bought them because the wheels/tires that I want (19.5s) are not available yet. They are the exact tires that came on my Myco trailer, and I plan on switching them over to my trailer when I get the 19.5" setup.
I can't stand driving on them. The rubber is way too soft and the non-interlocking lugs provide a very loose ride.
They are GREAT trailer tires, but they suck as truck tires. I'll never buy another Goodyear product for a car/truck. But I will run them on my Myco boat trailer.
I should have learned the first time I bought Goodyears for my Tahoe years ago. I took them back the next day as well--terrible.

I ran Cooper A/Ts on my 2500 Avalanche and liked them. I ran them on 16x8 wheels on that truck which drastically improved the handling of that truck vs. the factory 16x6.5" wheels.
I later went to 17x8 wheels on the same truck with BFG Rugged Trail E-rated tires which was also a great setup; especially towing.
Swapping out of the the bicycle-narrow wheels that GM installs from the factory to 8" or 9" wide wheels greatly improves the handling of those trucks.

what load range ?? 2500's should be E's if you go down it sucks..tried it once on my 2500..took them right back off...heard now it's illegal for a tire shop to go down in load range rating..

I ran Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's load range E on my Chevy 2500HD. Loved 'em. Wore out BFG AT TKO's in 22K. Truck was hell on rear tires with only a 60HP Predator tune. I ran 265's on stock rims. Tried 285's and didn't like how it felt you were rolling over on the sidewalls due to the rims being too narrow for the tire width.
