Revo's are on!
 
Had to wait a week, but well worth it. Once I burn through two tanks I will report any gas MPG issues. From the 10 miles I put on them so far, dry traction is FAR better than the stock GY's.

And yes, these are the Revo 2

I'll be interested in updates on the ride/handling.

I would be interested in mileage and actually I will look them up myself. I had great experience with Bridestone in the 80's but after that for get it. We had a set OEM on our Avenger the rating for snow 1 out of 5 and they send they cars to Canada like this? Cost us a 6000 dollar insurance claim due to ice and snow and they charge 300 bucks for 1 tire. I have 2 that were put on after the accident I wish I would have talked to insurance and made a deal cuz I put a nice set of GY Eagle GT new style tire, Well they were great in the snow etc but I see we are not going to get huge mileage...soft compound. They were only a hundred bucks more than 2 of those POS Bridgestones. We had 9000 KM on them and the rear tires were more than half worn the fronts were better and this is a FWD car never had them rotated yet. Just OEM junk. I hope you have better luck. I personally an gonna try the Cooper Zeons or Falken Ziex or something like that.

that's what i want also, thanks in advance for your updates. what did you have to give for the set?

CarGuyOhio Aug 2, 2010 07:06 PM

W/O road hazzard plus the governement just over 1K installed.

Truck rides smooth (but it did before). So that did not change.

No shakes in the wheel. I can pull my hands off it and it is very steady

As for noise, just a tick higher than the stock tires, which were very quiet.

Again, I can not say enough about the dry traction. I may not even be able to put rubber on the road. I have not laid into it yet, but I have pushed it a little where I know the old tires would make noise, these just grip.

I expect about .5MPG loss due to 3 more lbs per tire.

Sounds good so far. I put a set on my 2001 Ram and the truck really seemed to "float". Maybe the sidewalls were flexing more than the factory GY's?? Other than that I was happy the short time I had them on the truck. I traded the truck for a '04 Ram before I had a chance to drive them through snow.

OK, two tanks gone, but one was not my normal driving habbits, so I threw that out. The other tank... I am down 1 MPG (both base line and after are hand calcs). Did not think it would be that much, so a little disappointed there.

I can no longer break them loose from a roll like I use to, that is good, and bad as it was sort of cool. I can break them loose from a stop, but not as much as before.

I also think it is not as quick off the line, I have yet to measure with the Superchips tuner, but I will. I am guessing this is due to the increased weight of the tires.

Wet traction is much improved.

CarGuyOhio Aug 24, 2010 09:28 PM
