Michelin LTX M/S or Bridgestone Dueler Revo's?

[Tundraengineer]

I have Toyo Open Country A/T's on now. They have been an excellent tire wet and dry but wore extremely fast. I am looking for a tire that gets decent wet and dry traction but lasts 50K+. Which ones would you recommend?

The Bridgestones by far. I have them and love them. I have had the Michelins before as well. They didn't last and they were horrible in rain and snow. If you look closely at the Michelins, their treads aren't cut very deep so you end up with some solid treads going around the tire trapping water causing hydroplaning. This is probably part of why they didn't last. The Bridgestones have great traction and can last 50k. Just remember, if you do alot of trailering, rotate more often but still expect a little less life out of the tires.

We've had the Revos on wife's Pilot for close to 50,000 miles and they'll need replaced before winter.Going right back to the same tire again, they've been great in the snow and ice and won't break loose in the rain.I'll get the LT type when I need to replace mine on the Tundra.She has the P series on hers, as they wear they got noisy but Hondas' are noisy all by themselves anyway.If we wanted quiet we would have bought a Highlander!

Michelins, by far. I've had both, and the Revos didn't last me 30K. The B'stones have a great reputation, but never again for me. I plowed all winter with the Michelins and never had a problem with traction. 15+K miles later, they still look new.

That's why I am worried about the Revo's. I drive my truck like a race car and I rather have something that gets decent traction but lasts.

Bridgestones, I've had them on my 4runner and Tundra. Excellent traction in wet and snowy conditions. They lasted fine for me, they had 30k miles on them when I sold the 4runner, and still had a lot more mileage left.

The only downsides I can think of is as they wear they get a little louder, not much though. And they pick up/kick up rocks easily, but thats why we have mud flaps and running boards

Revo's are awesome but if you drive lots of highway or accelerate fast, they'll wear out too soon. Great traction while they are still on it. I am looking to replace after 35K Miles

Have you looked at BFG All Terrians? They last forever and will get traction anywhere.

[sanox]

Revos for sure. Had them on my 04 Tacoma TRD DC, best tire I have tried yet.

Just replaced my Revos after 60k. I drive pretty aggressive and these were an awesome tire for cornering/traction in all conditions. I went with a C load rating because I heard the P tires wore fast. No Regrets at all.

Downside ot this review is I replaced them with Yokohama geolander at-s becasue of the $200 price difference. (planning on trading hte truck too)


Otherwise the Revos are the only tire I'll buy for a truck/suv that I plan ot keep more than 20k miles.

How do you like the Yoko Geolanders?

Just got the Revos installed, took off the LTXs. The LTX had no grip on wet roads, no resistance against hydro-planing. Plus I first had the Revos and lasted 55,000 miles, could have gone 60,000 if it was not for the burn outs I did. My dad got the LTX for my truck when I was out of town and they just sucked. They lasted me 30,000 miles. I got the LT instead of the P, it has a deeper tread and a higher load rating. They make 2 versions of most LT tires, a 6 ply and a 10 ply. The 10 ply is a much heavier duty tire, that is the one I got. They hold a max of 80 PSI each, they are flotation tires. I will attach my Excel speadsheet for the REVO sizes, note this is for 16" rims only since thats what I have.

Thanks mostsleek! I am curious if America's Tires store will special order the LT 10 ply?

I use a local tire shop, Family Tire in Hollywood, Florida, for my tires. I have been using them for 10 years and 3 vehicles(3 sets of tires each) and had no problems. The price difference for 6 ply, C rated, and the 10 ply, E rated, was less then $25.00 so I went with the 10 ply. I would guess that most places could order them for you. Just to note it was $820.17 for the tires, mounting, balancing, allingment, and all taxes. The guy at my tire shop and on tirerack.com said that LT tires ride rough. They seem to ride the same as the P series on medium to large bumps(to me smother), however, you can feel the road more when driving on flat surface, little bumps are more noticeable. I love the look of the Revos, the tread is so aggesive looking.

My Dad had them on his Taco. They where loud and cupped fast if you didn't rotate them every 4-5000 miles. On a scale from 1-10, I'd give them a 2.
