New tires today.

I got my new tires today. I got a great deal and went with Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos in 285/75/16. They have great reviews. Just thought I would share. I know, no photos, it didn't happen, but I don't have a camera.

I have a set of Falken Rocky Mountain ats.... I read a lot of bad reviews but those were people that were putting them on their SUVs and what not. I have the 10 ply load E tires and they are wonderful.... Nice and stiff walled so they're not rolling on me in the corners. I can't wait till winter to see how they work when I plow some snow... Oh and the price was somewhat gentle on my wallet

I put Revo 2's on this spring. They're great. I think you'll love the new shoes.

Bad to sets of the revos when I had my f-150. Great tires. Loved them, they wear great and are great in snow and ice too.

I had bad luck with a set of Dueler HTs on our Expedition. It sees 85% highway driving and the tires were all down to 2/32" or 3/32" in 32k miles. I took them back to Discount Tire and they warrantied them and now I'm running Michelins. For a tire that has a 65,000 miles warranty I expected more than 32,000 miles out of them. I won't spend my money on Bridgestones again.

On the other hand I've had good luck with BFG in the past (50k miles out of each set on my truck) and others claim to never get more than 25k out of them.

As they say...Your Mileage May Vary.
