[QUOTE="Jaketor, post: 1284614, member: 26232"] Sorry guys I haven't been on the site in awhile. The Revo 3's are really nice. No regerts. I too only read the online fluff reviews on them, but decided to take a chance and preorder them from tirerack. I was also reading press reviews about a new Pirelli tire that was coming out that had a lot of the same qualities, but I though the Revo 3 looked better plus it's made in USA. I have about 2500 miles on the Revo 3's and they're awesome. So smooth and quiet and I'm sure they'll work great for so cal off roading, desert conditions, etc when ever it is I make it off road. The tread is super deep, I'd bet I could actually get 50k miles on them. They are load E so I'm sure the carcass is thick enough, yet they're lighter than the stock tires I think. Way more tread depth than stock tires new too. The stock KO2 tires feel like the same BFG's I had on my high school toyota prerunner back in 1995 cause basically they are. Yes the KO2's are upgraded but let's be real, they haven't changed much. In other words, they don't seem to be technologically advanced from a blank canvas design, they are a slight evolution of a 25 year old design. These new school Bridgestone tires are really computer designed to be quiet and perform off road and on. Welcome to 2018. If I lived somewhere where it actually rained, and off roading involved mud, yes I'd be all over a MT tire.
