Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3
Guys, finally getting back into a 4Runner after a break. Took me a little bit to realize what I was missing! Anyways, I pick her up on Thusday and she will need new shoes. Not a big fan of the Dunlops they come stock with. On my past 4Runners, I had good success with the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo original. I know there were mixed reviews on the 2’s. Anyone see the Revo 3 or have any feedback. They look pretty good. Also had the original BFG KO’s but found them hard and lacked good wet traction. Thinking this would make a solid 3 season tire for mixed driving.

Well decided to give these a try based on previous experience. Going tomorrow to get them put on. Hope they are as good as advertised.

I did. The Revo’s E load are only 46lbs which is comparable to the BFG C load and 7 lbs lighter than the BFG E load. I”m putting them on TRD wheels, so the weight difference should be minimal when compared to stock.

Before
After
I’m impressed with how quiet they are. Handling in dry pavement very good and my mileage continues to go up so that’s a plus. Will report back after I get some miles on them or a little weather to test them out.

Revo 3s are hope are better than 2s
I'm on my 3rd set of Revos and have always liked them due to being just all around a good tire. But my current set of Revo twos is looking like it won't get to 40,000, when all the others got to at least 50K. I've read the compound on the Revo two was softer and people don't get the mileage like they did with the original. If you look on Tirerack.com you'll see the Revo ratings are basically last.
I hope this new formulation is better on the Revo 3s, but I don't know. Sadly I'm looking elsewhere this time - maybe a Geolander or the Cooper or possibly even a Kumho AT. (the Nitos, Gen. Grabbers & BFGs are too noisy on road I think & Michelin's too pricey)

It’s way to early to tell much, but I will say they are quiet and handled the sleet today really well. Only have about 300 miles on them so far, but so far I like them. I will only use them in the spring, summer and fall as I will swap to my original trail wheels with Blizzaks for winter. Having a good tire that handles wet conditions is important to me and so far so good with these. That was one of the reasons besides noise I ruled out the BFG KO’s 2. I’ve heard good things about the Coopers, but liked the look of these and my past history as well led me to try them. I will only put on 10-12,000 miles a year, so I’m sure I will replace in 3 seasons.

Not to derail this thread, but I just upgraded to the grabbers from the stock duelers, and I wouldn't say they're noisy, you can of course hear them when the radio is off, once it's on you can't hear any humming.

Back when I was a kid we didn't have car noises cuz we'd just put in a bigger set of speakers!

So far yer the only one on here who has the Revo 3s! I did find a fellow on another forum (forget which one) who has had them since February. He said they are the best tire he's had in wet conditions, but hasn't experienced much else other than to say they're good around town and quiet.
At this point I think I hafta go with the Geolandar G015 as it's a well proven tire which does well on pavement, is quiet and is decent offroad, and has also been proven to provide good wear - to sum it up: not quite sexy, but gets the job done. (let's face it - only a guy would use "sexy" and "tire" in the same sentence! )

Yes, not sure I’ve ever seen sexy and tire in the same sentence before! It will be interesting to hear your experiences with the Geo’s and how they compare to your experiences with the older Revo’s. I’m super pleased with the 3’s in all conditions so far, but again time will tell on the wear. But boy are they quiet and smooth... even in an E. Good luck. Look forward to the pictures.

Yes, but if the Geos, it won't be sexy pictures!
I think I might do a weighted pro/con chart on the two and see how they compare.

Getting the Geos Tuesday!
I called Discount Tire and ordered up a set of stock size Geolandar G015s to be installed Tuesday! The Revo's could go just a bit (3-4/32") more, but I doubt they'd even make it 40k miles. Since I'm not a kid any more, there's no need to run them out completely (we used to run tires until the air showed), as the safety factor decreases significantly under 5/32" I'm told.
Plus I'll be taking advantage of the April Yokahama $60 rebate!
Too bad the Revo 2s wore down so poorly. But who knows - maybe in a few years when the Geos are done for, and if people like the Revo 3s, maybe I'll go back . . .

Any new reports on the Revo 3? I am down to this as a replacement for the stock Dunlops on my 2018 ORTP. Seocnd choice is the Cooper AT3. Still can't find much real-world off-road experience with these Revos (I'll be 90% on, 10% off road with them). The stock size as you note is an E load, but worth a shot given it's only 46lbs. The price is a bit brutal though.
