You need to physically be in another forum. If you want to add a new thread to "4Runners, Trucks", you need to use the "new thread" button on that page.

Just do a search for other threads on this. It appears, to me, that most members who have the REVOs are very happy with them. I have a set on my '03 and am VERY happy with them. But, don't take my word for it, do some reading first, then get 'em.

Way to go Mikey! Another one down!

Apparently, we need to at least double the size of the blinking green thing up top!

I think I've alienated one of my neighbors - he hasn't posted since he was "corrected" (sounds like my dog at obedience school)

What do you mean that kind of money? They run cheaper that the BFG's that you are a fan of.
121 per tire isnt bad for a truck tire. especially since the revos are imported from the same land where your truck was born, and they are fantastic.

I think he just means that tires are expensive in general. For people that aren't very privileged, $121 for a tire is pretty damn expensive.

Just my input, I have never seen a bad comment of the Revos and all are praise. My opinion is Bridgestone has been making some damn good tires (better than Michelin in my opinion) and when I had my Runner, I had Bridgestone Duelers, those where tha bomb!!! as compared to slippery Michelin XLT's (Costco brand but pretty much same as LTX). On the Camry we have right now, the Bridgestone tires grip absolutely better than the Michelins!

Ok,a anough with the cap jokes, i had them on so all you old guys could READ IT . As far as the tires i went looking for them yesterday.Where are you finding them for $121? I 've found three differant prices.Two firestone dealers,one was $124. The other was $134, and sears wanted $154.The bfgs were on sale at sears for $109.The revo does look like a nice tire.

I thought you meant the BFG KO's a/t's, those are more money.
TireRack $121-stock 16s, 6weeks wait on back order, well worth the wait.

happy christmas!

Well 4Runners aren't econo cars, I was expecting tires were around $200 a piece for truck tires before I bought my 4Runner.

Seems that the suv/truck market has grown so much that the price of tires have dropped substantially.

I wouldn't put Generals on my rig to save a buck. Tires are very important and may save your hide, So I have always bought the best.

I think if you can afford the gas for these guzzlers you can afford the tires.

Yes i did mean the BFG A/T KOs ---at sears for $109. 31x10.50-15 I looked at the tire rack the REVOs are $123.00 which comes to $492.00 plus s/h which adds another $61.00 total $553.00 or $436.00 for the bfgs, a differance of $117.00 . I could go buy another BFG for a spare and still have a couple bucks left over. Thats the differance.

Even Costco or Sams club?
Don't know what time zone you're in, but East coast you would be out of luck (BJ's wholesale tire center was taking cars until 5pm today).
Just a thought.

Take the Tirerack price to Firestone or whomever and see if they'll match it.
I LOVE my Revo's
MUCH better ride than the BFG AT's on the road IMO.
Great wet traction and great snow traction.
My BFG AT's (not the KO's) in the rain weren't that great. Actually slid to a stop a few times, and I wasn't trying to stop that fast.
My revos have yet to slide on me, well not counting the snow covered streets
That sliding was purposeful

Todd, there is a BJ's and Sam's pretty close by. Do I need memberships there? Think they are open on Friday?
