Help!!!

[desertdemon7]

I can't decide which tires to put on my 2000 Cruiser???


Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO with UNI-T AQ II

OR

Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3 with UNI-T


Both offered in 275/70/16

I have a cabin in Tahoe, so I will be doin more snow drivin than off-roadin.

Is that what you use for the Sand Dunes...what tyre pressure do you use ?

Just drove into work this morning with some fresh powder shots over the truck. I've got bfg AT's (285's) they work great for me and I have'nt had any problems in the snow in the last 3 years.

I've put the REVO's in alot of snow too without issues too, 285/75R16 revos all over New England/Vermont snows. Plus it's a better tire come spring, summer and fall.

Revos in 285 are wonderful.

Here is the problem as I see it. The tire you are looking at is in the 275/70/16 size, which is also a "P" (passenger) rated tire. A "P" rated tire is questionable for being equipped on a heavy SUV. Trucks and SUV's should have LT (light truck) tires, not P tires. That's my .02 for whatever it's worth.

The "P" tires will also have less tread depth. Usually 13/32 vs. 16/32.

A typical "P" 265/75/16 tire may weigh 45lbs. whereas the "LT" 265/75/16 tire weighs 54-55lbs. It's built on a heavier carcass and typically is constructed with more plys, etc.

If you are looking for a good all around tire for some snow and light off roading then I would consider those REVO's in "LT" form. If you don't really want a taller tire you can go with the 265/75/16 size instead of the 285/75/16 size.

If you do a good deal of winter driving, then perhaps you want a second set of rims and some snow tires like those Blizzaks.

Good luck.
