Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo Equivalent

I also believe the Nittos are made by Toyo. They are definitely from a 12 piece mold, because I counted the faint parting lines when my tires were being mounted and road force balanced. I've read (here on mud) that only Toyo and Michelin use 12 piece molds, which result in a rounder tire that is usually easier to balance with less weights. I played the middle and went 295's. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Revos for any kind of comparisons.

What did you have on your vehicle before the Nitto's? Assuming everything else being the same, can you explain the difference in the ride between former tires and the Nitto's.

Not the most helpful comparison for you, but I had worn out stock Michelins. IMO the Nitto's are only very slightly louder than the worn out Michelins. They are FAR superior in standing water, snow, and ice than the Michelins. They also look hella better. The on-road manners have been very good. No idea how they compare in sidewall stiffness to your Revo's, but air pressure is a big factor in that also. I started with them at 38 psi, then came down to 32 psi to absorb road imperfections better. We have serious quantities of road imperfections in Michigan. If you like the stiffer sidewall, it seems a higher pressure would help duplicate that. I also believe that suspension differences between rigs will could also affect road feel. At this point, I'm still on stock LX springs with the same Bilsteins that you show in your sig.

Everything that I have read about both Revo's and Nitto T.G.'s seems to rank them very closely. One or the other seemed to be the top pick in AT tire reviews that I read or had seen discussed. The T.G.'s are available in sizes larger than the Revo's, such as 295's and 315's. Seems to be what you are looking for. The bonus is that the Nitto's are cheaper. Unless of course you decide to stay with 285's, or try to convince Bridgestone to expand their sizes offered. My $0.02.

Good information to process. Thanks for the insight.
