Got my Revos


Recommended Posts

Posted

Finally got my Revo's on my '02 a couple of weeks ago. All I can say is WOW! With all of the rain that we have had in the DFW area recently, I can honestly attest to the Revo's great wet weather handling!

I used to work at Firestone, and fell in love with Revoi's.. Got a set of 31's for my buddies pre-runner for under 250 bucks (about 30% of the price for a set for a customer installed) Took the tires out to the desert and played in the sand and they did bitchen. Drove many street miles and beat the tires to hell.. had 9 nails in one tire.. Never had a flat! Tires never made noise. Have since broken a lower ball joint and gone through abvout ten uppers which caused the camber to be off.... causeing massive tire wear which finally lead to their demise.. but Totally agree with the best tire on the road comment!

look pretty good but I'm wondering what ply those tires are I would never put anything less than 8 on my truck.

The Revo's are LT265x75x16s Load Range D. Don't know off hand how many plys that adds up to...

Man my Revo's have been great. About 7,500 miles so far and look like they were brand new. Great in the snow.

 

Of course I am comparing to the factory Goodyears (Wrangler RT/S). Man those were terrible.

I just got a set of Revo's installed today at the local Costco. I went with the P-metric tires as I really don't have a need for an LT tire. Paid $457 out the door as Costco had an $80 off coupon for the tires and mounting!!

 

Absolutely hated the OEM Wilderness AT's that came on the truck. They had 43K on them and in the last rain, I got to hydroplaning out on the freeway and wasn't a good feeling at all.

 

Hopefully these will help with snow traction come next ski season!!

I purchased my Revo's at Costco as well and took advantage of that $80 coupon. They had to order the LT tires since they don't stock them. I hear ya about the OEM Wilderness tires! Had all kinds of trouble trying to get them to hook up in the wet.. No such issues with the new tires yet.

 

What size did ya go with?

I went with the 265/75's as this Costo will just not install tires in another size if their computer doesn't show it as a factory size. But I never found the Revo in a 285 P-metric size anyway.

The truck looks good. I love that toolbox a lot.

Thanks! The tool box is a Better Built that I picked up on clearance at a Lowe's store that a Buddy works at. I think I payed about $100 or so for it after his discount. It was the floor model, but they kept their floor models on the top shelf, so it was basically brand new. I think they sell them for around $180 or so... I had been looking for a low profile model for some time when he call to say that they had one that he could clearance. I like the fact that it does not obscure my rearward view and I can still slide wood and stuff underneath.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
