Good Lord, I was researching the Revo's and they seem to be around $200 each right now, but there is a $100 rebate available, geez. Guess it will be another tire. I came off a bit scared of the Nitto with some of the post here. Still wondering what I should do, hubby is no help at all. There are so many BFG's I don't know which one to even look at. Thanks for all the tips. Trisha
I know what yer saying Trisha.. Buying tires is almost overwhelming these days. But thee 'ol Bottom Line is: You git what you pay for.
Plus or minus $200.00 a tire, for a GOOD tire, isn't unreasonable for a set of tires that will last, give you good tire wear and be of the right Ply for what you do... Farming/Ranching.
I'll throw my .03 in here: You might look at a set of.. GoodYear G647 RSS's. I'm on my second set and get 60-70 K out of'm, towing my 12K 5r all over the country, daily driving too.
One other thing I would mention (?).. when you decide on a >set< (all four) look at the "Build Date".. It's a sequence of numbers, branded/molded into the side wall, of Every tire.... On the Day.. of the Year.. it was made/built. Most tire companies use the "Julian Date". Example: 1239= 123rd day of 09. Some use another sequence but.. ASK the dealer to show you the Build Date, on the tires that are going to be mounted on YOUR truck.
The reason I say this is.. Some times.. A Hellofa price, per tire.. is for an OLD(er) tire. Perfectly GOOD tire.. but never the less.. An OLD(er) tire.
Tires (like us
) Age too. Perfectly good shape, but begin to fail during use, due to Age... Sometimes before their tread is worn down.
