I have had them for about 5000 miles and they have performed flawlessly so far.

Here's a couple pics, if you want anything more just let me know. These were taken the day I got them.

I just bought a set last Wednesday. No good pictures like post #2 but so far this has been a good tire. OKC got hit with an ice storm on Thursday and a snow storm on Friday last week. I drove in 2WD Friday night in the snow and the truck had zero spinning in 4WD on Friday morning after the sleet that fell became a solid sheet of ice all over the ground. The snow/slush/ice wasn't a problem as these tires rarely spun, even over the weekend as the wife drove to and from work. She drove mostly in 2WD. I also spent about 30 minutes in a field covered in snow but with mud underneath and I was able to get great traction.

I bought this tire because I was told that this would be a great A/T tire and very good in the snow/ice and that it provides a quiet ride. I find this to be completely true, especially the quietness because that was the biggest concern I had. My truck has the stock 18" wheels so the tire I purchased was the 275/65.

Edit: I also used this page to help with my decision. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes TireRack lists two different Revo's. The specs are different but I'm not sure which tire I got.

I just got a set of the Revos last Thursday. We got about 8 inches of snow on Saturday and they didn't miss a beat. Going from the stock 275/55r20 to 275/60r20 made a big difference in comfort as well.

These are the Revo's and not the Revo 2's, but they are VERY similar. From what I've found online, the Revo 2's have a bit tighter tread pattern because some complained of road noise, but I haven't heard anything at all.

I plan on getting the 285/45/22 Revo 2 for my Pathfinder as soon as Bridgestone releases them. Their website says "Release date 2010" i dont know when though.

What have you guys been paying? I can get the P275/65R18s for $903.00 out the door from the local Firestone dealer. I think its a pretty good deal.

My dad is a retired store manager from Firestone, so he gets 35% off. I paid about $600 out the door.

Just noticed you were inquiring about the REVO 2's. All the below is for the original dueler REVO tire.

About this time last year I picked up set when bridgestone had a deal going on with 30 or 35% off. My 285/70/17 where about $630.

I went through 2 sets of these on my old Ranger about both sets lasted around 60k miles. They preformed great on the Ranger in rain, snow, and mud and I could not have been any more pleased with them. That's why I chose them for the F150. They seem to be a good tire on the F150 but they don't seem to perform in the snow as good as they did with the ranger. I'm not blaming it on the tire as it's probably the difference in trucks. So far I have about 12k miles on my current ones and very pleased with them. They do make just a little more road noise than the factory tires but these are A/T tires so that is to be expected.

Would I buy them again...yes. It is one of the few tires that I recommend to friends and family when looking for A/T tires. I would also look at the BFG AT KO's as well. I think they do a little better offroad but I think the REVO's handle rain better. Both tires should last you 50k+ miles.

I have the original BFG Rugged Trails on now, how much of an upgrade should I expect from the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2/s. Are they quieter then the BGF's?

I payed about 850 for tires + mount/balance.

A couple weeks ago when the truck was going in for 30k service I managed to run over something that put a couple holes in the outer tread blocks. Dealer couldn't get a patch to fix it so I spent 165 at the dealer to get one replaced.

Finally got mine! Love 'em. Paid $1.047 for install and alignment, now to send in the $100 rebate. That make it $947 out the door from the local Firestone dealer. Now to wash the truck and get the rims polished up, need a day off from work and some nice weather.

I was running the revo 2's on my stock 20 wheel and they did great on the highway and in the rain. I just put new wheels and tires on and now have my stock wheels with revo's mounted on them I'm going to sell, around 4000 miles on them.

I was going to buy them but the price was crazy in Canada (300+ a tire) and the local shop said there really soft and that they wouldn't last myself to long because I drive a lot of gravel roads.
