I have PM'd a TS user who has run both the Bridgestone Revo and the Michelin LTX M/S on his Tundra. It was his opinion that the Revos were the best tire he had put on his truck, even better than the "gold standard" Michelins. Alot of TS users seem to prefer the LTX M/S, but maybe that is due to the newness of the Revos. Response on tire rack is very favorable to the Revo, but then again it is still new and I doubt too many people have put alot of miles on them. Does anyone else have any direct experience with both these tires? Thanks for any input.
I don't know much about the Micheline. As for Revo, I have them for about 3 months now. They're great on both wet and dry pavement, perform well with my S/C, and the ride on highway is smooth. Since I don't go off road, I can't tell you much about off road performance. Overall, I love the Revo.
nothing comes close to Michelin. Look at tire racks reviews for other opinions. I have the cross terrain suv's on my tundra and they are the best tire I have used so far for mostly street, occasional offroad use. I dont think bridgestone/firestone are even a competitor. (they s***) What tire has the higher tread wear rating. cross terrains gauranteed for 65,000 miles!
Nothing against Michelin. But my past experience with LTX M/S is that the sidewalls and circumferential grooves dry rot just as quickly as other big name high end tires. They all start cracking after 3-4 years (stiffer). On the upside, LTX's tread tends to last longer.
Can you comment on Revo's dry/wet handling, noise level and MPG since it has open block tread design.
I love the handling of the Revo in both dry and wet condition. The noise level is comparable to the factory-mount tires (BFGoodrich). However, I've added dynamat in the doors, floors, and rear panel. Additionally, I sprayed sound deadeners in the rear panel, door panels, and various places. To top it off, I placed insulation pads on the floors, firewall, and engine compartment. As a result, I don't really notice any road noise.

LOL!!!
I went though all that trouble to insulate outside noise because I like to enjoy music without disturbance. It would be kinda hard to hear the music with ear muffs. Good suggestion, though!

You didn't happen to take pictures of the process did you. When the quad cab tundra comes out I'll probably buy one and invest my time in a full sound proofing as that is the vehicle I'll keep for a while.
Wish that was out when I bought my limited. I would have gotten that instead.
I checked out the tirerack customer ratings for All-Terrain tires and the Revo leads the pack. The only thing that worries my is that it is still new and probably no one has put enough miles on them to see how they hold up.
To the TS users out there who have or currently run Revo's, how have they held up?
I live in Baton Rouge, LA and have been pricing the Revos here and the average going rate is $800/set for 265/75/16 !! That seems high considering tirerack.com had them for considerably cheaper.
Any comments???
You're right, that is high. I got a quote for 650.00 here in Hawaii which I thought was a little on the high side. They said the tires are nationwide backordered from 1-2 months. I guess they are in high demand.
