I know -- worthless without pics, but I haven't had time to take any yet.
Anyhow, after reading through the scores of threads about tires and brands, and sizes, and designs...I decided the Revo's would be a good fit for my needs -- mostly on-road, as a daily drivers, and a road trip vehicle, with some mid-level difficulty trails mixed in on occasion. Having experienced the negative effect of a larger tires size on engine performance in my 2nd gen 4Runner, I was leary of going up to 285's in the FZJ80. I gotta tell you -- I hardly notice a difference. I'm very please that I seem to have retained most of the stock power and the gas mileage doesn't seem to be running any worse, either.
The tires themselves ride very well and there is minimal noise output over and above what the stock Michellin's were churning out. Best of all, I found a screamin deal on them -- $913 total, including the road hazard warranty for all 5 tires at Fletcher Auto. It was the last place I expected to find a deal and I only stopped in there on a whim as I was heading for the Firestone shop. Oddly, Discount Tire isn't stocking them AT ALL at any store in our area. I was told by two different shops that it would be a 3-5 day wait because they had to order them.
Hell with that -- I went shopping. The best price Discount could do on 4 tires with warranty was $1050. Firestone had the next best quote at $915 for 4 tires including warranty. When I picked the vehicle up the sales guy told me he got reamed by his manager for selling them so cheap. Now that's what I like to hear.

But that does sound like a good price. You wouldn't believe what Revos sell for up here in Canada. We pay way more for everything, even accounting for the exchange. Well, just about everything.
