Okay, I've be skeptical of all the posts on the Bridgestone Revos. Honestly I've never had all that much good luck with Bridgestone tires, BUT (and this is a big but) I had a set of REVOS installed yesterday on my 04 Crew. The truck seems like a different vehicle. I didn't realize how soft the sidewalls of the OEM tires must have been. The truck goes through curves like its glued. Also, they are quiet. I know noise is subjective, but they are similar to the factory Bridgestones in noise, except they do not squall in cornering. (Yeah I know all of this has been said before) but it really is true. Now if only they'll last for more than the 17k my OEM's did. Anyway for all of those looking for tires, you can believe what you read on here. The REVOS do stand out, at least in my first impressions.

Glad you like them. I am a BFG AT guy thru and thru, owning several sets of BFG tires, but you guys are making me seriously consider these REVO's next time a set is due.

 

I guess I am of the theory, "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." when it comes to quality tires. I may just ignore my theory next time.

I've got about 26,000 on my Revo's and they still look brand new! I fully expect these tires to go well over 50-60K before I'll need new tires again...

Yeah im right there with you over 130,000 thousand miles on two sets of bfg at tires on my 95 zr2 and not one flat or tire related problem!I understand the revos are a good tire also but imo i still think the bfg is the best looking tire much better then the revos and i already know that the bfg ko line is a solid tire especially traction wise, so really it's a matter of opinion because both tires are a solid choice imo.And i think a wooden wheel would be a upgrade from this crap chevy is throwing on there truck rims!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
