2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2's, good to go?

[JCyrbok]

Needing new tires and thing I'm gonna pull the trigger on the Revo 2's in stock size (LT265's) and just want to make sure that they are still a good choice for our trucks?



I got about 50k out of my set of Open County AT's so I would like to atleast get that out the Revo's. Looks like most of the reviews and posts here at TDR are showing the Revo's as a great tire, just want to be sure before I shell out close to $800 for them installed, LOL.



Truck is the one in my sig, I live in Michigan so there is a fare amount of snow driving in the winter, I do not do any heavy off roading but am occasionally off road during hunting season etc. Bulk of the driving is pavement with about 75/25 split between city/highway. Rarely tow and only occasionally haul heavy.



Thanks

I have the Revo 2's on my truck. I needed the added load capacity to tow my 16k 5th wheel. I do not have a dually and needed a heavy duty tire I could trust. I have the 285's and when I pull my rig I run the max at 80psi which gives me close to 8K of carrying cap. When empty or pulling my little 5K lb trailer,I back the psi down to 45#'s. I run 65 up front all the time due to the weight of the Cummins. I bought them last year and they now have 24K miles on them ..... and that is towing nearly 80% of the time. My 5th wheel has about 8K miles on it now and this truck with these tires towed it to Fl. and WVA and NC and PA several times without a failure. Rotated twice though..... front-end is good on alignment! Hope this sways you to purchase a great set of tires!!
