Help REVOs Question
Hello. This is my first post to this forum, but i've been lurking for weeks now. I just got Bridgestone Dueller Revos put on my 2000 4x4 Ex XLT. We ended up with Ds not Es. (Dealer didn't ask, and i just assumed I was getting Es, so my mistake.)
What psi should my tires be at for around town, and for towing (travel trailer is pretty light)? They put in the Ex recommended pressure, but it seems really squirly.
We had Mickey Thompsons before, is this just because they're different tires, and something we're going to have to live with?
Thanks Bunches in advance!!!!

Thanks Tim....BUT.....that thread is where I originally got confused.. My tires indicate max load of 65psi. So....I have no idea what I should be running them at for the best ride.

Well......sorry, I would run them at 65, that is max on the D's......IMO
Remember "best ride" is very subjective, I like a stiff tire some like a plush ride.
Very difficuilt to say what you will like. Test, Test, Test.

thank you! Hubby keeps telling me that pressure makes no difference, and he hates the new tires. I keep telling him that lots of people here are using them and love them. So guess I will just start playin around with them then......

What size are they?. The Revos I got are the same size as my factory tires were (265/75/R16), I think all Revo 265's are "E" load range. Now if you went up in size to the 285's these are "D" load range tires. To my knowledge there isn't a 285+ size tire made that carries a "E" load range
