Question Tires ?? Dualer a/t REVO

I am looking into new tires. Have read a bit about the Bridgestone Dualer a/t Revo. Does anyone have these? And what is your thought about them. How is handling , wear. I have 99 quadcab, long bed, 2500. Mostly freeway driving. But wet roads.

Excellant tires. I've had several sets, and I just put a set on my Tahoe.

Thumbs up

They are a great tire, I had them on my gasser 1500 4WD for about 5 thousand miles, then I sold the truck. Ran nice and quiet and had real good wet and snow traction. Tire Rack's rating system shows that alot of people are very happy with them, just make sure you get the proper load range for what you will be doing with your truck. I'd buy them again, I'll look at them when my Uniroyal Laredo E series wear out.

Awesome tire, and if I had not gotten a super deal on some Nitto Grappler A/T's I would have put them on the CTD just like I put them on the wife's Expedition and the Mother-in-law's Explorer.

I have over 8k on mine and they still look new. maybe you should learn how to drive before you try to warn others about the tires

It is my understanding that you are supposed to use the throttle as either all the way to the floor or at idle... Did I learn wrong? At times I push both the stop and go pedal to the floor for a short time and ease up on the stop pedal...
Let me know if you have any suggestions (this is all in fun)

I've been happy with the Revo's on my Cherokee. Just too pricey for my 3500.

Ended up with BFG Commercial T/A Traction. Paid $107 ea. mounted and balanced at Costco. So far been very happy with them. Not quite as quiet as the Revo's, but can barely be heard over the Cummins.

My dad replaced the tires on his truck with some new Duelers and they are great, very quiet at expressway speed but still a lot of good traction. I've never been impressed with my Coopers (very poor wet traction, noisy as speed), they were on it when I bought it. Unless I pick up some H2 rims I think I'll put Duelers on as my next set.
