tire help
im looking at either Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo or going all out and getting Bridgestone Dueler M/T D673. I'm am concerened about looks so if anyone has these tires lets see em. This is work truck, landscaping. So I need something aggresive enough to be able to allow my truck to go off road a little. I know its not going to be able to go through anything but I can hardly drive on wet grass now with my bald highway tires.

I'm looking at the Revo's only from Bridgestone. They are rated best for wet traction and wear (500 treadlife). If you read some of the reviews by owners of the two tires, I think you may reconsider the D673's treadlife and go for the Revo's for treadlife and wet handling. Looks like the Revo's are same or a bit cheaper in price, too.
Just my $.02......

I just put on a set of "Geolanders", they performed well during the Wifes Elk hunt. They are a bit more agressive then the Revos but they are rated @4.25 out of a possible 5.00. THe Revos are rated 4.50 out of 5.00. Just my thoughts...

Justin,
I think you'll be happy with your decision, especially for a work truck. Having to replace a full set of tires every year gets old and expensive, even if it is a write-off to "equipment" on your taxes. You still have to fork-out the $$$ in the meantime.
Besides, buyer's remorse is a LOUSY feeling (been there, felt that)

PS-let us know how you like them and how they look(if you have a way of posting pix?)

I had posted this reply in the Excursion forum earlier this month.
After this last weekend, I can honestly say that the Revo's 285-75-16 on my F250 SD DO NOT perform as good in the mud as the Goodyear’s on the X.
The tread on the tires completely filled with mud and made the truck act like it had slicks, it was embarrassing.

The revo's are basically road tires that perform fairly well off road. They are virtually quiet on the road and wear well. I think the trade off would be being not too good in the mud as you have said..
