Re: BF Goodrich VS Bridgestone
Hey Doc,
It's for the family wagon, Escalade ESV. The stock tire size is 265/70-17. I had 285/70-17 BFG's on last season but the ride was very harsh, I think it was because of the load rating on the 285's. I think the 265 load rating is less so the ride should be better.

Re: BF Goodrich VS Bridgestone
try them...you have 30 days to return them if you don't like em...
I did that with my wife's vehicle. The firestone dealership wouldn't honor the low price guarantee +10% (costco had them for cheaper) so I told them I was going to return the tires. The firestone guy was like "huh?" So I directed him to their own website. He still refused to take them, so I made a call to corporate, and they got it all straightened out...
I don't think you can go wrong with them...

Re: BF Goodrich VS Bridgestone
I am reading exceptional reviews about the Revo's. I was surprised that a couple of times I had to engage 4 Wheel Low on my Yukon to get out of deep snow last year (from a stand still). Since our new Escalade doesn't have a low gear (it's just all wheel drive), I'm somewhat concerned about the BFG's.
I think I will go with the Revo's or a dedicated winter tire like the Winterforce.

Although I don't have any experience with the revos, I have read & heard many good comments on them too. Since I did look into the same tire & size, I want to point out be aware Bridgestone makes 2 different load ratings on this particular tire/size
