REVO

biochemist · January 15, 2005

OK, one last time I am looking for a bunch of opinions from you guys about REVO tires. My ST's are not great, when on the highway and chaging lanes in snowy conditions, I feel unsafe....also they are not great in standing water on the road....tend to hydroplane without much resistence. Anyway will the REVOs help me out with these types of situations as well as better traction in snow(I assume this) I live in Mass...northeast...I can get them installed and aligned for ~600 265/70/R17. Thanks

Hey...I've got the Dueler REVO A/T 265 75-R16 on my ride and they are GREAT. They track through standing water without any trouble. Great traction on snow too. I'm amazed at how smooth the ride is, and how quiet they are especially on the highway, considering how aggressive the tread design is. I've got about 8,000 miles on mine and the tread wear looks like they've been there only a month. I would strongly recommend.

Also...I believe I spent about $650 for mine, so your price quote isn't bad. IMO

Oh, and like you said about changing lanes in snowy conditions...I never felt comfortable changing lanes through snow in those Firestone pieces...but now that I've got these I don't hardly think twice.

i have the ST's on my truck....its only have 3900km on it and i cant stand the look and performace of them....i just ordered BFG AT KO....but i was having a difficult decision deciding over them and the REVO's

from the reviews I read, you wont regret getting the revos...only reason i didnt go with them is because i couldnt get a 285 70 17...the bfg's i could!!

I have a set of Revo's on my 99 Silverado Z71 and they are fantastic tires. Wet traction is great (and living in WA that's a big PLUS! ) and even with the agressive tread pattern, they are very quiet. Dry handling is great and I can push the truck thru curves much harder than the original Firestones.

I got mine at Costco when they were having an $80 off on any Bridgestone tire and paid $457 including 8.4% sales tax mounted and balanced. Costco is now having a $60 off sale on any Bridgestone tire, so if you're a member, go get a price quote.
