I liked the looks of it - fairly aggressive - and had some discussion with a knowledgeable sales person. The closest store only had the Falken in stock. I made a trip to a local Discount Tire to look at Falken AT3s and Geolander ATGO15s and see both tires in person. TireRack also had them in stock when I checked earlier this week. Ordered on Monday and they called me on Tuesday that they were in. I bought my Revo3’s from Discount Tire in Michigan. I have always liked the Revo over the last 140,00 miles, but the wear issue on this last set has quenched my enthusiasm some. The price could be down around $155 each with the sale and prorating. So now I'm wondering if I should try these new Revo 3s after all. I could also get around $20 on each of the old tires because of them wearing so quickly.
Bridgestone has definitely done some tweaking with this new version - the tread, the compound and raised it to a 60k warranty from 50k.ĭiscount Tire is running a special on Bridgestones in April. They don't even have any of these in stock yet and he wasn't sure when they would come in, because they are so new.
BRIDGESTONE REVO 3 VS FALKEN UPDATE
(I also don't want to consider the General Grabber due to higher road noise.)Īny suggestions of what might be a decent AT replacement for the Revo that won't break the bank?Ī little update - Talked to a knowledgeable guy at Discount Tire today about the Revo 3. I don't want to pay higher dollar for a BFG (noisier too), Michelin or Firestone Destination all-terrain. I have read a lot of good reviews on regarding the Geolander, Kumho Road Venture and Cooper Discoverer. It will be driven on pavement 99% of the time, but when we camp in places like the Rockies it often means exploring the backwoods and somewhat obscure mountain back roads. So I'm looking for a different all-terrain tire that will do well on-road with lower noise, and off-road, and also occasional trailer pulling. Did Bridgestone mess-up what many of us thought was a very good all-terrain tire with shorter life? The set I've got now is the Revo2, and I've discovered that there are a goodly amount of poor reviews on these regarding short longevity. But this last set is struggling to make it much past 40k! It has been a very capable tire in all respects, but now it's maybe time to move on. The two prior to these held up well getting 55k and about 50k miles. I am on my third set of Bridgestone Revos on my 4Runner, and up until now I've been quite pleased with them.
