Thumbs up Put my Bridgestone Deuler Revo's to the test today. (Pics)

Wow. These tires are amazing. I did a 20 mile run today that last year with my Firestones I couldn't make it 1/4 mile up the road. Nobody had been up there since the recent snows, I made the trail. I went through 18 inches of snow at times.




Look at my tracks, you can see how deep it is.


I opened the door, fell on my ass, then did the funky chicken on my back for about 60 feet until I reached the bottom of the hill. Good thing nobody was there to see.




A little snow flex.


Didn't quite make it. Which is probably a good thing cause the snow on top was past my knees.

I love the REVO's on my 4Runner. I also love 4wheeling in the snow, you don't have to spend 6 hours afterwards cleaning mud off. Awesome pictures, I can't wait until it snows here.

I had the Firestone Firehawks. They were on the runner when I bought her. I don't know much about them other than they suck.

You know more about tires than I do. This is the best pic I can find of them and they are totally worn. There are several different versions of the Firehawk. All I know is that they sucked.
Wow, I forgot how ugly those orange blinkers were.

nice!

I had my truck in some DEEP snow last year also and my Revos chewed right through it! Every time I go out I am impressed with them and you have to respect the highway manners also!

I was in 4wd most of the time but didn't need to be. I couldn't believe how well the runner did in 2wd with these tires. Amazing.

Good eye. I started at Cold Springs (Bordertown). The pics on the hill are at Crystal Peak and I came out through Dog Valley and ended up in Verdi. I wheel all the places you've mentioned. I'll keep my eye out for you.

Awesome

I am new here but not with Toyotas. I am guessing yours are 225/R75-16 just like mine. Got them a few weeks ago based on lots of recommendations. Haven't had a chance to test them but looking forward to our first snow blizzard!

Those are Firestone Firehawk R4S's. They are intended to be a street tire not all terrain. The tread is also the same on the F/S Steeltex R4S. Great street tires, but he suck off-road!

Looks funas it can be. I'd get stuck, but thats okay...I'd have chicken to pull my arse out of the snow...But alas, we have no snow here....in Ga. The good ole dirty south 100+ degrees and 30% + Humidity. It'll melt your balls to your leg...definitely no snow. Quite a shame.
