Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO
I finally got my 285/75R16 OWL Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVOs installed Saturday morning, so I thought I would pass along my initial impressions. So far, these are great tires! I was surprised at how deep and aggressive the tread is for an AT tire (17/32" in depth). The picture on the website doesn't do the tread justice. The 285s appear much more agressive than the picture shows. They don't seem to pick up and throw rocks like some AT tires do.
They are VERY quiet on the highway and grip much better than the stock Michelins did in the rain.
The Michelins would just spin in wet grass, but the Bridgestones gripped very well with no slip. We'll see real soon how well they work in the snow, but allegedly they are great snow tires.
The 285 tires have a D load rating at 65 psi (3305 lbs), but are only rated 110 pounds less than their E rated 265 counterparts (3415 lbs). I think the 285 is the biggest tire they offer, though.
The tires have a 50,000 mile wearout warranty - not bad for an AT tire.
I paid $550 at a local Firestone dealer for tires, mount & balance, road hazard warranty, and taxes. The dealer was running a sale: buy 3 tires - get one tire free, half price mount & balance and $5 road hazard warranty.
So far, so good. I'll report back after the snow starts to fly.
