Has anyone else tried the Bridgestone REVO tires. They're a little more agressive than the stock AT off road yet are smooth and quiet on road. I really like them and get quite a few compliments. I looked into other brands but chose these because they had the biggest diameter in the LT285/75R-16 class with out going into an off-road tire.
And yes size does matter...

Nitto AT - 32.6 inches
Dueler AT - 32.8 inches
REVO - 33 inches
Mickey T MXT - 33.1 inches but not as aggressive.



Traction: A
Tempature: B
Wear: 500
Mileage: 50,000
Speed: 109
Load: D
Ply: 8

They look pretty cool from the pic, but could you post some more pics of them from different angles with the entire H3 in the pics? I am on the hunt for a set of more aggressive tires that I can still use on the stock H3 rims, so I might be interested in these if I saw more pics.

I've been running them on my F150 for 35k.
They are a great road tire and do very well in rain and sleet. They are ok in the snow.

For offroading in muddy trails and wet rocks they do not perform. They are simply a good all around street tire.

For the H3 I'll compromise with the Mrs and run BFG AT's, but even those fall short in the mud compared to a radial Super Swamper or BFG mud terrain.

If off roading isn't a priority, or most of the trails are dry and mild, the Revo's will do well. WBut if your like me and like to wheel your rig in wet trails or deep snow and mud they will definitly come up short.

Yeah I still had to keep the Mrs. happy and didn't want an overly aggressive tire. For mud and rocks I still use my jeep.

I have Revo's on my 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab. Did a LOT of research before the purchase. They absolutely ROCK! Best tires I've ever had. Only problem is I went a size bigger and the trucks seems sluggish, not as responsive when I hit the gas, for obvious reasons. Otherwise..a great all around 4x4 tire for mud, snow, and ice. You won't regret buying these tires. Doubt me? Google some light truck tires or Revo reviews; you'll see.

I like them much better than the stock AT's. Very quiet on road, great handling and feel. Off road they're adequate for light mud/trails. Haven't put them to the test and probably won't. I'm 95% on road, 5% off road (Hummer events only). 6500 miles so far and no complaints.
