I liked the REVO's, perform very well in many conditions. I was a little disappointed with their puncture resistence. Shredded one up pretty good running fast in the desert. I don't think they are as tough as some of the other tires I have tried. Good thing my road hazard covered it. Got a new tire out of it.

Yeah, I thought about getting some air shocks soon b/c of the saggy butt. Gotta wait for the next paycheck of so, most of us knows how that goes. I dont think it will sag that bad pulling the pop up b/c toungue weight is balanced prettty good on those. The trailer hooked up in the pic has an excessive amount of tongue weight. Thanks for the shock info, will a local auto parts store have those? ie. o'reilly's checkers autozone napa carquest?

I used to like my Revos until my last trip to get an alignment, rotation and balance. When I drove it home it pulled to the left very strong. I took it back and after 2 hours of mucking around the dealer said that one of the tires had an internal problem (don't recall what nomenclature he used) and that they cross-swapped the front tires (usually you only rotate front-to-back) to solve the problem. I asked about replacing the tire under warranty and he said it wasn't covered. Huh? He then proceeded to punch up the cost of 4 new Revos to replace my only half-worn tires. I didn't bother mentioning why in the hell would I buy another set of tires that have problems that are not covered by warranty. I think I'm done with the Revos and Bridgestone.

Close but no cigar, Actually they are 255/70/16's. I did this b/c I only wanted a 30 inch tire. I used to have 225/75 15's (28.3 inches) I am still rinning my stock gears wich are 3:91's. A 265/75/16 would of been too tall (31.6 inches) with thease gears.The 255/70/16 is 30.1 inches wich is just right for me. Yes, I can tell a slight power loss, but its ok they look awesome, hopefully the gas mileage isnt a horrid loss *fingers crossed* Oh yeah I pulled out one of my buddies that was stuck in his yard last night (very soft ground) and the tires didnt even slip a lick, I LOVE THEASE TIRES!!!!!!

I agree but...I must argue that after about 15000 miles on my Revos, they still served me well this past winter in the snow. I got through ice storms and 8 inch snow covered roads without a problem. I'm not a big mud guy, but last I had them out at roughly 10k miles, they pulled through just about everything except for one spot. Although, mud tires would have had trouble I think.

Cheers to a good tire.
