2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission best 285/75 R16 AT tire?

[JSykes]

I have Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's on mine for the last year and they still look brand new. Absolutely love them. Excellent traction in snow and rain. They are rated for 50K miles and not terribly expensive ($663 out the door).

Ive had the pro comp at for over a year now. I like the tires in all respects, except for the amount of miles I'm getting out of them. I might get 25,000 out of them, if I'm careful. The good thing is the 50000 mile warranty, my next tires will be half off.

Does anyone here have any experience with this tire?

willysrule, like the name



The tires I'm currently running is the Cooper Discoverer L/T. It doesn't work very well at all on the factory width rim(well factory 96(6. 5" width), the newer AL rims-7. 5" wide, might work ok). If I had 8" rims I'd probably be happier. With the narrow rims, the tire bubbles out, and makes the already round tread pattern even more round. This makes the truck wander all over the road- almost all of the steering parts have been replaced before this so I know they're not the culprit.



Before this, I had Cooper S/T tires, they were 285's as well, but were almost 1. 5" wider than the L/T's. This model has been changed quite a bit since, so you'll probably not find these... The tread wasn't very aggressive, but the tire got me everywhere I needed to go, without leaving ruts on soft ground. The L/Ts narrow round pattern leaves small ruts, but gets good traction.



Before this I had some 265 Michelin LTs, C rated... don't know how I made that mistake wouldn't recommend it...



Before that: Hercules 265. These were all around good tires- look a lot like a BFG a/t. I had around 35k miles on them when I gave them to a friend to put fresh tires on the truck for a long distance trip. He put another 15k on them...



Before that: mismatched Goodyears(265) that came on the truck when I bought it used. Dang that feels like a loooong time ago...



Also could recommend Wild Country all terrains- on my brothers truck for the last several changes. A very sticky tire- it lasts a LOT longer on 8" rims, and drives better too.

In the 285/75/16 I ran the Good Year Wrangler ATS and it was a terrible tire. SO bad I took them off my truck. I also ran a set of the Yokohama Geolander directional MT, that tire wore out faster than I want to talk about. I finally went with the Bridgestone Deuler M/T D673 and loved everything about it. #ad
I personally think you can't go wrong with a BF Goodrich and of course any Michelin is going to make you happy!

I would have to agree with others and recommend the Bridgestone Revo. What a fantastic tire. If you visit www.tirerack.com you will notice that they are the highest rated AT tire available. These ratings are from real life users and I believe the best place on the net for comparing tires.



They are availble in E rated sizes and the ride quality, towing, traction, noise and wear are all excellent.

for the REVO the feedback was a F150, F250, and a honda CRV... . the 250 will be close the the weight of our trucks but the 150 & CRV arent close!



Maybe some Rickson 19. 5" wheels would be worth the money?

Icoleman,



No... You have to click on the link that says "read all reviews". the Revo was rated by over 1000 people for a total of 12 million miles of ratings. I do not believe you were looking at the right section of the site. Here is the chart that shows the best tires per the user rating:

I stand by the Revos. They are excellent!!

Also... The ricksons are just too expensive and not worth the hassle. $4000 + for tires and wheels and then the hassle of special balancing equipment and the potential of the wheel slipping on the rim... No thanks! If they were more affordable I could deal with the other issues. Rickson is only 20 minutes from my home.



Not to mention the added weight will prematurely wear out suspension, steering and driveline components.

Out in the patch in norther Alberta, there seems to be a different gravel that kills tires, and what has held in there good if not best, is the Goodyear Wrangler MTR, they aren't spectacular on ice, but dig like crazy on everything else, I have pulled at least 40k on mine and they have held out amazingly, nig thing, don't drive too fast, they wear fast when you drive anything over maybe 120-125km/h, my old man runs the 285's on his welding rig, and they are even overloaded, and he has probably now 35k on his and they are a minimum of 70% tread left, and no probs with seperation or flats, they are only moderately noisy, as any MT would be, but not too bad at all, and you can't arfue with the cosmetic aspect, people always are commenting on mine, they look mean, good for a mean truck, the only other thing I can think of if you are stuck on the AT's would be the Yokohama Geolander AT, has a treadwear guarantee, the stick to ice pretty well, and wear fairly well. I have also heard the BFG AT is a really decent tire, plus it's the only one actually classified as a winter tire my the highway board, so that is another good option. Good luck.

haha sorry but Im apparently blind! how do the REVO's compair price wise to a BFG AT? Ill be looking at tires this summer and youve got me pretty interested in the revo's!



what air pressure do you run in yours? Im at 60lbs in my BFG AT's (snowplow and salt + salt spreader puts a bit of weight on the ol girl)



Thanks

I just put on a set of Mickey Thompson - Dick Cepek F-C II LT285/75R16. They are great... noise level is very low, good in snow and mud... plus they are "D" load rated. I have no problems pulling the sled trailer around or any other Load that I have hauled. That and they look really good. :-laf
