Just bought a set of the Bridgestone Duelers A/T Revo’s. 285/75/16. Had them installed during lunch.
During the short ride back to work I noticed the steering is much more crisp and tight.
The slushy-ness of the ride is greatly reduced. Maybe it is because of the lateral stability or rigid-ness of the walls of the tires. I don’t know. Not much of a tire expert. It’s a new set too. So, of course it’s going to be better. The previous set of tires may have handled that same way too when they were new! I don’t know. I just bought the rig. Though, the ride is much better. Firmer. To me, it is far and away better than the stock tires the PO had installed. After the same amount of mileage as the old set, it would be interesting to see if the slushy un-firm steering response returns.
The look is great. The wheel well filled out better than expected. Talk about beefy! The tread pattern is aggressive, and for what it is, I did not notice any tire noise difference at all. Though, I wasn’t paying attention either. You’d think if the noise was significant it would have caught my attention right away. It’s dry here in SoCal right this moment. Can’t wait until the rain comes to test out the wet traction ability.
More comments on the new tires after a few weeks.
