Only downside I could see would be that the Adventures only come with white lettering. Just a thought.

I looked at the Wrangler Silent Armor's since they do have the mountain/snowflake symbol and since I've been very pleased with mine over the past 40K miles, but your size (and my 265/60/18 size) are no longer available. It looks like that tire is being retired in favor of the Adventure series.

Good luck!
IIRC Marlin was running some kind of Wrangler Kevlars & didn't have much good to say about them.
