Poll Time!!! Which Tires Should I Get???

ibbodyboarder · 09-12-2006, 08:05 PM

Ok. It came down to 2 tires. Either Bridgestone Dueler Revo AT's 18 inch or the Firestone Destination AT. The bridgestone in a 265/70 and Firestone 270/65. I can get the Bridgestone Duelers for $806.18 OTD not including the $75 rebate so that'd come out to around $725, ballpark figure or the Firestones which I can get them for $685.29 OTD. I am also looking to get the 2 inch level kit from PRG. So lets hear em.

Both tires will look small I'm afraid. You need at least a 285 to 305 imho.

true. they will look a little small but go with what looks good to you. they probley have the same performance off road and on the street. i like the nitto terra grapplers myself

Yea. I'm not a REALLY off-road driver or anything. I drive mainly on the street but just want something to make the truck look good. Maybe I might not put a 2 inch lift. Could look good without it and having those tires on it.

I'd go with the Revos. Have you looked at the Kumhos? They have tons of sizes and are quite a bit cheaper. Take a look at the Kumho KL78's in the 325/60-R18. That would be my choice

I'd go Bridgestone over Firestone.
If you're not going to lift the front, how about lower the back w/shackles from PRG?

Go with the Duelers. I've got them in the stock size, and I have been nothing but impressed with them. Great traction, Good looks, long-life, an overall great tire. If finances are your thing, then go with the Firestone's. Although we bought some of the Destinations for the Xterra, and I hated them. They rode rougher than a corn cob, and threw rocks something terrible. We took them back and had then swapped out with the Bridgestone Dueler H/T's. We like them alot better. Keep us informed of your decision.

NITTOS = $$$$$$

Hey Ttam, you have pictures of them? I'm probabaly leaning more to the Duelers casue I figured, shoot, Pay the 806 out the door, submit my 75 rebate and end up basically paying $725 altogether which is not a bad price. If you can show a picture, that'd be nice but maybe I'll go with the duelers. I do have the shackles on my truck by the way. Trimmed it down to 3/4 inch. Here's what my truck looks like right now and also a picture with the rims I have.

MB Smooths-nice wheel. Hey, how about PRG's smaller spacer for the front? Maybe that will set it like you want?

ibbodyboarder · 09-13-2006, 09:18 PM

im thinking about doing that after I get the tires put on. Just debating still cause I got a deal for the firestone destination AT for 683 otd with the lifetime road hazard, balance, etc. But im still wanting to see which is better, I like the Dueler Revo so who knows. still trying to find opinions on which tires to go for.

Well I've got some but they are on my home puter and I'm at work now. I'll see if I can get them sent this afternoon and post them tomorrow.

No Prob. Thanks. I'm just making sure I don't bite the bullet and get the WRONG tires.

ibbodyboarder · 09-14-2006, 06:02 AM

Hey gixxer, I checked out the Kumhos and I found them more expensive than the dueler revos. Weird. Plus they don't have many 18's from what I was looking

**bbomar** · 09-14-2006, 06:16 AM

You want the revo's!! No questions asked!!

ibbodyboarder · 09-14-2006, 07:57 AM

Think I might have a winner then. I saw someone who posted their truck with them on and they look pretty good. I mean just for being stock dueler 17's I have on that come with the truck, they look like damn good tires just not having aftermarket wheels kind of makes them look out of place.
