I coudlnt' wait. I went today and got the Bridgestone Duelers AT Revos put on my truck. I got the 265/75/16 size. The tires look AWESOME. They filled the wheel well just like I wanted and what a cool tread pattern. Driving on the way home, I couldn't hear the tires at all. Then of cours living in south Florida I went into a rain storm. While at a light I tried to peel the tires to see how well they stuck in the rain. I couldn't even make them chirp. My old tires I could sit and spin all day in rain. I just came in from detailing the wheels. I'm am thrilled with the tires. Thanks to everyone for the information and helping me with a decision on tires.

 

Pics please !

How much

 

I paid 632.00 Installed with an Alignment. However I learned something. Ford doesn't have a way to Caster alignment on the F-150 but they do make a kit that you can add so you can do this. The kit is about 200 bucks installed. I went ahead and added that so the tires won't get out of alignment. From what I understand it's a good idea to do that when you go with larger tires then stock.

My girlfriends birthday is today and I bought her a digital camera so maybe I'll see if she'll let me borrow it so I can get some pics baby (That's the Truck of course). I'll post when I get them.

 

Ok, I promised some pictures. They aren't real good because the camera isn't real nice plus I already dirtied up the truck today. Oh well, it'll give some ideas.





Let me know what you all think.

 

those look great !

 

Maybe I am an idiot but what type of caster plate would you need. Tires do nothing to help or hurt the alignment and I have never heard of anyone that needed one just when they changed tires. I went from 32's to 35's and did no such Caster plate adjustments and have had no problems.

 

Hey Crazy..
From what I understand my truck didn't have a Caster adjustment on it. I'm not sure about all F-150's but my truck (2001 XLT) only had a camber adjustment on the wheels so when they give me alignmets they can't adjust it correctly. Ford does make a kit that can be added so you can get a proper alignment but without it it's possible that you won't have a good alignment which of course means uneven tire wear. I've heard of this on other F-150's as well.

 

I have an '01 supecrew and was having uneven tirewear at 8,000 miles. When I went to the local goodyear dealer to have the alignment checked the guy says "Oh, you have an f150..." He explained that Ford short changes you on the alignment hardware and that the way they get around the tirewear issue is to have alignment specs so sloppy that any alignment will fall within the specs. He referred me to an alignment speciality shop that he said could solve my problem. They installed the alignment adjustment upgrade plate. 3,000 miles later my tires were were back to wearing normally. I am now about to replace them (Generals) at 55,000 miles. Even to this day, without any additional alignments performed, my tire wear is even. I recommend addding the plate if you experience any uneven wear. I'm going to replace my current tires with the Bridgstone Dueler AT Revos. The reviews I have read on the net by people who owned the original Dueler AT's and now have replaced them with Revo's convinced me that the modest price difference is worth the improved noise reduction and winter handling capabilities of the Revos. I do recommend shopping around if you are buying the Revo's. I found $200 variance in the installed price at different shops. I too, was enticed by Costco's price on the Dueler AT's but after reading all the reviews for the Revo's I'm going to pay a little more to get the Revo's.

 

I just put a set of Revo's on my 4X2 truck as well and really like them. My truck has the sport package with the 17" wheels, and I could never get the OEM Goodyear Eagle GT's balanced to save my life! I went from the stock 275/60-17's to 265/70-17's and really don't notice much difference, other than a smoother, quieter ride and better traction!
