Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 review

Really liked these tires. Swapped them out to replace the worn factory Dunlops.

Chose these tires because of the large grooves which helps with hydroplaning. When I first started diving, I had a spin out on the highway due to hydroplaning which resulted in my Jeep Cherokee being totaled, me with whiplash and a life long fear of hydroplaning again. Luckily I was the only one involved, so nobody else got hurt. Had a set of BFG All Terrains (mid 90's) and will never own a set again. The problem with this type of tire is there is nowhere for the water to evacuate from the middle.
I put the Duelers to the test when driving in a heavy spring snowfall between Denver and Colorado Springs that was mostly slush, heavy thick slush from a previously warm day, to a heavy, wet, Panhandle Hooker (If you live in or around Colorado, you should be very familiar with this type of storm). Folks were spinning out all over the place in these conditions but my tires held great. Side note: I rarely use four wheel drive when driving in shitty weather. I have found it causes me more problems than helps. If I am going up a steep incline and loose tracking, I will breifly use four wheel drive, then take it back out. I let the tration control and stabilaty control keep me from spinning out. When it comes to hydroplaning, the only thing that can be done once you are in it, is to keep the wheel steady and not turn untill the wheels grab again.

The Duelers were accually more quiet than my Dunlops.

Off road, they were as good as expected. Air them down a bit (not too much since these were 4 ply tires) and they worked for almost everything I threw at them. I am usually on moderate trails (3/10) with a rare difficult trail thrown in there (6/10) and these tires held up fine. I have been lucky so far with how rocky Rocky Mountain trails are without blowing a sidewall and these tires stood up to the abuse.

Mud is where these tires really sucked. I was messing around in some mud after a long rainstorm and almost got stuck. Who know if different tires would have made the difference, but I have never experinced that bad of performace in mud outside of worn down mud terrain tires.

Mileage 58k - Probably could have made them last another 5k, but winter is coming, and I found set of new tires (Cooper Discoverer Rugged Terrain) at Big O for "Buy 3, get 1 free". They were down to 4/32" in the front and 3/32" in the rear (Discount tire would not rotate them anymore)
My initial impressions of the new Coopers is they are slightly louder, but given the much more aggressive tread pattern, they are suprisingly quiet. I notice a light whirring noise from 30mph to 60mph. Compaired to mud terrain tires, these are much much quieter (and smoother)
