Bridgestone Dueller Revo pic on the truck

Just found this from this summer's beach trip...

So far, very happy with my 265/75 (32's) Revo's and have had two weekends in the snow with excellent performance. In deep snow they are very comfortable...





Also, this my idea of wheelin'

Hey those are great looking tires, and that's good that they perform so well! I'm curious how much were they (the 265/75 size)? And are they on 16" Wheels? I'm wanting to get some new tires on my Xterra (The stock tires aren't too bad, but I'd much rather have some All-Terrains on there) and the stock tires on there are 265/70/R16 and I don't really want to spend another $500 getting new wheels, because I really like the 16" ones on it. And I priced some BFG A/T KOs and they're about $150 each! Which seems like a little much to me

Anyway those are some really good looking tires, and it sounds like they perform great also!

They are 265/75/16's on stock 16" 4Runner rims which I believe are 16 x 8.

Thay are a little taller but virtually identical in width so they do not give that nice fat appearance of the 285's.

However, I get virtually no road noise (even better than the regular Dueller A/T that I had).

Dry road grip is good although the 75's have a little more sidewall flex than the 70's so roll is increased a little.

Overall I am very happy and I got quoted $160 each for BFG's.

I paid $480/4 fitted.

Thanks for the pics and the feedback. They look good.

Good to hear about snow performance. That was the 'big unknown' with these tires.

Are they wearing evenly? The only negative comment I have heard is wear, but that came from Thai on ODW. I think he ran too much air in his tires based on other posts. Everyone else seems quite pleased with these tires.

Awesome thanks for the info nrgetic! $480 is about what I paid to get my tires for my 4Runner. I'm definitely going to look into getting a set of the Revos Also how do they handle in the rain? Do they slip much? I'm assuming since they get good traction in snow and in sand, that they'll do great in rain, but I just thought I'd make sure because I've had some tires that are absolutely terrible in rain.

Thanks again for the info

Rain performance is excellent in respect of aquaplaning etc.

Raw grip is pretty good BUT as I am supercharged and like to drive ins a 'spirited' fashion, I use 4Wd when the roads get slick as I like to get all the horses on the road. A lurid tale slide is fun to watch but not too much fun to be involved in with a 5000 lb truck !

The previous Dueller A/T's in the 70 series were excellent in the wet .

BTW, I still have 265/70/16 Duellers with under 10k for sale.
