Tire Question Bridgstone Dueler Revo??

[jhol]

Ok fellas, time for new tires on the truck here is what I am looking at...

2003 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab half ton 4x4 5.3 litre.

I have a fiberglass topper and pull a 18 foot Lund Pro V with a 175 Optimax (pretty heavy) Majority of my driving is highway, a little off road at work (construction)and hunting, I do ice fish and pull the boat quite a bit.....

I have only ever purchased Bridgstone Duelers a/ts and gotten 70,000 miles out of each set, I am currently at 142,000 and scheduled to go in tomorrow and get a new set of Duelers. Last time I got tires at 70,000 miles I went up from stock to load range c and I have been happy. Not sure how much or if at all I need the extra weight range but I did it anyway and it made me feel better. So I can go with what I know or I might possibly jump up to the new Bridgstone Dueler at Revo 2's. More agressive tread, only problem is that they only come in stock or load range E which is way overkill for a half ton truck.

Anybody tried the newer Revos and have luck or should I stick with what I know???

Thanks

I have been very happy with everything except treadwear on my Revo's.

I probably won't buy them again because for the price I think I should have gotten a lot more miles out of them. I don't have the exact number, but I think it's around 40-50k

I didnt like the Revos on my Yukon either. got about 40,000 and then took them off because they were so loud. And I rotated very regularly.

Another vote just the same.

When they were new that were awesome but they seem to really wear out fast. I got about 35k out of mine and i was already thinking about replacing them(I got a new truck so I didn't have too). Granted that was with ALOT of off road use, but my bfg a/t's and cooper s/t's have been much better for tread life.

I've had nothing but good things to say of my Revo's. Mine have about 65k of mostly highspeed highway miles and still have 3/8" of tread on them. I'd get them again.

Definitely better than the stock Generals that came with the truck and only lasted 40k.

put an oversized set of Revo's on my Dakota. Ran over 50k on them before i changed(would have ran longer if it wasn't ice fishing season). Rotated about every 10k and wear pattern was pretty decent. I thought they were great tires and will definitely put them on my next ride. I work as a contractor and when i got them changed i had nails punched in 3 tires and one tire had 2 nails. none leaked at all, did have nitrogen in them
