Just got these installed on my pathy last week. 265 75 16's, and man, what a difference! As the truck was new to me, but in dire need of tires before next winter, I decided to go ahead and nab these with some tax kickback. Pathy had cooper discoverer asx's on it, and after installing the revo's i have discovered that they were the weak point in the suspension/handling characteristics of my truck. Going to keep a close look at wear, as judging from others experiences, that seems to be the weaker point of the Revo's. But as for now, I couldn't be happier! Highly reccomend. :D

Originally put these on my 05 3 yrs ago. I thought they might be contributing to poor fuel economy, but I changed to P265/70/16s and there was no change. The ones you got are E rated and very heavy.

I ran mine at about 50psi. They are truck tires, so you can't really follow the manual anymore, that pressure spec is for P rated tires.

What pressure are you running at? They max out at 80psi if I recall...

My P rated tire have held up well. Should get at least 1 more winter out of them, and will have racked up about 70k kms on them at that point. The roads are bad up here.

The Revo's I bought are 114 T's, I havent found anything regarding load range. These also include a prorated warranty, unlike the LT tires. 99% sure. And if they are known as heavy tires, then god help those prated cooper pos's i had. Everything is smoother and more responsive with these. throttle response, brake feel, mid-turn bumps, etc.

And right you are. When I bought mine, you could only get the 265/75/16s in the LTs. Now it appears they offer them in P tires as well.

I've enjoyed these tires, but may go Duratrac next time. Looking for something even more aggressive, and better in this clay gumbo riverbed crap we have up here, the Revos don't do well in this type of mud it seems. Great in everything else, though.

Before I change tires, I also have to replace my rear lower arms, as the adjustment bolts for alignment are totally seized.

Yeah, won't be this year, unless a killer deal drops into my lap.

Also, may keep both! LOL. Got our 3rd kid on the way and there is no chance in hell we're buying a minivan.

Exactly. I'm in Guam right now on business for the military and they have a minivan as our rental. I hate this thing. I see pathfinder rental all over and want to be driving one of those not this stupid minivan.

The only one we'd ever consider would be a Honda Odyssey, might have a line on an 07 going for cheap next spring, my bosses 80 yr old father in law's. Has about 100k might on it, but basically all of it is bombing back and forth from here to Texas where he vacationed for winter until this year. Supposed to be great on fuel.

But really don't want to go there...

had the revos been the same price as say the duratracs or the at ko's, i would have had a tougher decision. but for my uses at this time, these are just right AND alot cheaper. love the look of them too. pics soon :\
