#268796 - 17/06/04 08:39 AM Question about Dueler A/T's
Anonymous Unregistered	I need new tires and since I'm doing that I am also putting a 1.5" lift in. I have the stock 15" rims. I can get the Dueler A/T's in 265/75R15 which will fit my truck fine with the lift. But the Revo's get MUCH better reviews, unfortunatly they do not make them in that size. They make 265/70R16 though...are they that much better that I should drop an extra $300 to get a stock set of 16" rims (on E-bay right now)? Any other good tire recomendations? Tom

Both are available in 31x10.50-15 which is just a hair smaller and wider than the 265/70-16. http://www.bridgestonetire.com/dpp/sizespecs.asp?passproductid=1055 http://www.bridgestonetire.com/dpp/sizespecs.asp?passproductid=171 And of course, you can always consider the 32x11.50 non-Revo as well...

You'll save the cost of the 16" wheels and get a larger tire (the 265/70R16's only measure 30.61"). If it were my money, with the 1.5" lift, I'd go with 32X11.5R15 BFG A/T's or M/T's. It just depends on the type of wheeling you do and what you prefer. Hope that helps.

Trimming shouldn't be too bad, just some plastic, no sheetmetal.

Anonymous Unregistered	Shocks are in the near future my friend...lol... Now I have to decide between 32" and 31" tires (basically between the BF Goodrich T/A KO and the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo)...the AAL is in the picture no matter what!

The link to the sticky that you provided, judging by the questions he's raised so far, doesn't provide enough information.
