285s on

Due to an unfortunate confrontation with a framing nail it was time to replace the tires on the Expedition again. I put another set of Dueler Revos on except in a LT285/70/17 rather than the stock P265/70/17. It looks pretty good IMO. I also see that the pic I took sucks but it will have to do until it is nice out again.

Nope. They are very close with the inside edge of the mudflap and the outside edge of the tire at full lock but there is no rubbing.

I had them Revo's on my truck before this set I got on now and i'll be going back to them, awesome tire, great wearing tire period. I had almost 65,000 miles on them before I changed them. Good luck and congrats, they look great on there.

Well, apparently it rubbed a little on full lock right turns. The mud flap stuck out just a wee bit too much. A pair of snips took care of it. All better now.

Yeah.. if you look them up on tirerack.com, when compared to other "All Terrain" tires they're ranked 6th, and if you sort by "would you buy again", they have the second highest rating.

Sounds good in my books. The highest ranked tire is actually the Firestone Destination (which is funny because it's Bridgestone/Firestone), but I don't like the look of that tire as much as the Revo's.

Kind of off topic.. but does your Expy have LLS or standard springs/shocks? Reason I ask is because mine is identical, but yours looks taller..
