Yea tire manufactures don't give road hazard.Its designed in the tire to get unrepairable holes in them.Seems I have read that on every tire a manufacture uses on new vehicles.

 

Well I have to wait until next Monday, and I am lucky.

The Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos are on national back order! Michael Tires Plus has a set in their warehouse in Chicago and can get them, but due to delivery schedules it will be next Monday. No other players in town has any sets, this includes national chains. Tirerack also on B/O.

That has to be a major blunder by Firestone/Bridgestone. To have tires on national backorder? Generally speaking you can not wait for tires, it is I need now type of thing. That has to hurt.

Guess I run with my whimpy spare for part of the week. Splitting duty between the Hemi and SRT. Incidently wheels really make a difference on these trucks! The plain black spare makes the truck look like crap.

I am sensing a burnout in my near future

 

I couldn't say how good the stock tires are, I swapped mine out with less then 200k on them for the Goodyear A/T KO's. Not my first choice of tire, but the price was more then great. Good road manners, low noise, seem to do well in gravel and did allright in the mud. The little snow I hit, they worked as good as any un-studded tire. I will be running them this winter, then buying some Mickey Thompson MTZ's in the spring. Can't say a mileage decrease, because the truck was hardly through a tank when I switched.

 

I am waiting to mount a set of Yokohama Spec-X 305-50R-20's on my truck soon. The tires arrived today and look great. They are a street tire which is where my truck spends 99% of its time anyways. What surprised me was that the load rating is 3086 lbs which is higher then most of the tire options out there. I am hopeful they will perform much better then the Goodyears on there now.

 

I looked at the dueler revo's at firestone dealer last week but they were also on back order, there is a new version of them ( revo II i believe ) now that are low roll resistance rated and the old Revo's are hard to find but they had sample of both and new revo's had a slightly diff tread pattern. I was impatient, put dueler alenza's HL's on this time, they had em in stock and matched tireracks price, H speed rating, trac/temp A - since truck is daily driver and has really never been off-road plus the stock HP's were at wear bars and not feeling too good in the rain. They actually look good on a sport, but I would have gone with these new revo II's if they could have gotten them. The old revo's were being let go for cheap and no firestone dealers in the tri-state area had any on hand.
