Hi guys,

I am looking for some new shoes for my Screw. I still have the stock Goodyears and it is definitely time to replace them.

I have read a lot of good things about the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos. I was just wondering if any of you guys out there that actually run these tires can gimme some pros/cons about em. I see they are rated number one on tirerack.com for an AT tire.

Also, are there any other brands that I should be looking at? I drive pretty much all on road and just do lil bit of offroad driving.

I think for now I am just gonna keep the stock size of 265/70-17.

Thanks for any/all replys.

I think I replied to your question on FTW. Just in case you didn't see it, the Dueler Revos are getting great reviews. You should also consider the BFG AT KO's, Nitto Terra Grapplers, Toyo Open Country AT's and the standard Bridgestone Dueler AT's. These are probably the best available all terrian tires. You can't go wrong with any of the above tires.

 

Thanks wandell. I am still looking from some feedback from current owners too.

I got the Toyo Open Country ATs on my 01' SCrew and love them. They held up great in snow and rain when I drove 6000 miles cross country in them back in March.
They replaced Duelers. I personally liked the Toyos more.

Good luck!

 

I have revos and I absolutely love em! They are just as great on road as they are offroad. I've never had an all terrain handle as well on wet pavement with standing water as these tires do. I tried them out off road the other day in light mud and dirt and they have very good self cleaning tread ability. These are about the best tires I've ever ran, and no offense bfg at owners, I'm glad I picked them over the bfg's. By the way, I have 285/75/16's. I have about 5k on em and am approaching my first rotation. I am looking to get a lot of miles out of these tires due to their 50k warranty, great treadwear rating, and 8 ply construction. Simply put, great tires.

 

i had regular dueler ats's and they sucked.they got no traction off road cause they were so hard.the only "normal"tires i had that i liked were the original wrangler ats's and now i have 33x12.50 at's and they kick ***.but if you're not worried about off road performance very much i'd recomend michelin ats,they were the best compromise i've found

 

Bridgestone Dueller Revo's are the best! The first part of my hunting season in Colorado has proven their worth. Deep mud, snow and lot of water on 4X4 trails and not once did I have to chain up. Really surprised me. Have had Goodyear Wranglers, Goodrich AT's & Long Trail TA; Michelon & many others -- the Bridgestone Dueller Revo's are the best. These tires are great on the road and without the whine of many. Semper Fi

 

I had Revos on my 99 Scab and loved them, but I only kept the truck another 10k miles. Only downside is that they can be costly. The previous Bridgestone Duelar A/T was a good tire as well and can be found for about $200/set less. Anyway, consider all the top ranked options like Wendel said. For the same tire size, it would be hard to really notice much difference IMHO between the top performers.

 

I just got my Bridgestone Dueller Revo's a couple of weeks ago to replace the BFG AT’s that I have had for over 5 years. I haven’t had the opportunity to go offroading or play in snow yet. But I can tell you the rain traction is very good. I am going to take a road trip over Thanksgiving so I’ll get a good highway feel then. I also am running a stock 265/70/R17. They are actually cheaper than the BFG AT’s. Unfortunately at the 17” size, they only have the 265/70. I had wanted to get a 285 but Bridgestone doesn’t make them in that particular size for the 17”.

They look great with their unique tread pattern and they still look aggressive. Hope this helps you. But for me the cost factor and the stellar ratings on the Revo’s sold me.

 

Jaguar:

Those are the same diving conditions as me. mostly On road driving with a bit of gravel roads to take me hunting and fishing, and a few mud bogs to get me back out from my hunting trip after it had rained for a few days. I don't usualy go around looking for mud to play in, but if where I want to go is on the other side of some, well so be it. I'll try it.

I kept the same stock size as well: 265/70/17 for my Revo's

Surprisingly quiet, nice ride, AMAZING wet traction, you can hit standing water on the freeway and you dont even notice it. I can't wait to try them in the snow.

Except for price, there is no down side to these tires for my type of driving. I'v only got 5k on mine so I can't vouch for mileage but chatter on this forum seems to be positive.

Hi Guys,

Wow, thanks for all of the responses, I really appreciate it!

Now I want to pick your brains again. As I had said, I have the stock Goodyear ATS as OEM tires on my Screw. They have a load range of C.

I was ready to order the Revos, however they only carry an SL load rating. After speaking with a local tire shop and getting there opinions, they said I should stick with the Load Range of C, even tho they said the Revos were a helluva tire.

I was wondering if the BFG AT KO tires in load range of C were worth the extra money over the Revos? They are rated number 3 vs 1 on tirerack.com.

What do you guys think about the difference of the load rating SL vs C? Should I remain with C as the tire shop suggested or do you think I could go with the SL rating and get the revos?

Also if I do go with the BFG AT KO, how do you current or former owners like them? I am looking for good handling, steering response etc. I esp want a tire that handles well in the rain and snow.

Thanks again to all,

Jag

 

Bump,

Do you guys think going from a load range C to an SL (standard load) would make that much of a difference?

I do not tow and rarely carry heavy loads, just as an fyi.

Please if someone can help me out here, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jag

 

Jaguar,

I'm in the same boat as you. My 2000 150 XLT 4x4 Off Road came new with Goodyear Wrangler AT/S, LT265/70R17 tires. I ran a set of Les Schwab tires same size for the past 45K miles. Very noisy tires though.

After looking at the messages on this board it seems the Revos are the way to go, but they don't offer any in the C load range. I checked into the Michelin tires LTX M/S and same situation as Revos.

In my case, I haul heavy items in the back, 4wheeler, lawn tractor, oil barrels, etc. I also tow a 19' boat. So I need to stick to the C range.

I was pretty happy with my Wrangler AT/S, but it sounds like I was in the minority.

My options at this point:
1) Good year Wranglers
2) Les Schwab

Anyone know of an option 3?

Thanks,
Nwfarmer

 

Hi nwfarmer,

First, welcome to f150online, nice to always see new people joining.

You could always go for the All-Terrain T/A KO from BF Goodrich. A bit pricey, which is the reason I am not willing to shell out an extra 35 dollars per tire for them.

Since you do haul some heavy stuff, I think you should stick with that load range. For me, hauling heavy stuff is rare, so I think I should be ok with the SL rating.

Here is a link to the tirerack on the BFG tires I mentioned. BFG All Terrain T/A KO

I hope that helps. There might be some others but as you can see from the ratings on tirerack, the Revos are rated number 1 while the BFG's are rated third. I am sure that they are both awesome tires.

Good luck whatever you decide.

If you compare the Max Load Rating of the BF Goodrich C-rated tire and the Standard Load REVO, the Revo is rated to carry more weight.

I have had my REVO's for over 25,000 miles, and have driven them everywhere and in all kinds of conditions. IMHO, this is the best AT tire that I have ever owned.
