As my name might indicate I am a former Jeep owner. I had a '86 Cherokee, a '95 Wrangler and then a '96 Grand Cherokee. While I loved Jeeps and I mean loved them....had back packs, t-shirts, die-casts everything, but I will tell you the difference between the 4Runner and Grank Cherokee is like...

Holy Smokes!!!!! I was going to start a thread on gas mileage but will see if I get any responses here. I think something is wrong with my 4Runner after reading this. I have been noticing lately my gas milieage is REALLY BAD. How bad? For a couple of tanks now I have been getting 14 mpg and...

I was about to post on a similar topic, but thought I would tag onto this one. I just recently switched to Revo's from Duncrap's but stayed with the stock size. I feel like as my speed goes up my gas gauge goes in the opposite direction. Seriously, I am probably down to getting 14-15mpg...

SoCal Runner...are those the Yoko AT-S or HT-S. I only ask cause I was going to get the AT-S but they didn't come in white letters. Update on my tires...I got them installed yesterday and they look so different from the Duncrap's that I have a hard time deciding what I think of them. I think...

alaskaman, tough choice. I looked at all those tires in my search and off those I liked the GY SA and REVO's the best. It is a tough choice, not nearly as easy as one might think that is for show!!!

Alright, we finally have a conclusion to the new tire dilimea!! I just got off the phone and ordered 4 new Bridgestone REVO's!!! I went through everything with this and for others I thought I would document my thoughts: - Even though I really liked the look and price of GY SA, I didn't feel...

Just when I thought I made my decision....BOOM. So I decided I was going to get the YOKO's, just from a review standpoint and $$$. So I go to order them tonight and they don't come in white letters in 265/65/17. I know, I know, but I love the white letters and it is a deal breaker for me. So...

Per my other thread, this is one tire in my consideration set with Yoko's and Revo's. I went and looked and talked to two different Discount Tire managers about these tires. Both managers have only put them on a couple of vehicles but so far so good they said. Like the other reports, these...

I actually had Pirelli Scorpion's on my Cherokee years ago. I think I had the A/T's but I don't remember. They were ok, but I agree with you the ATR do look sweet, hadn't considered those!!!

Oops.....need to work on my reading skills. Well, I think I am going away from the norm here and think I am going to go with the YOKO's. I went and looked at the Michelin A/T 2's and while they looked "ok", I just really like the YOKO's and the guys at Discount Tire could have said better...

Oh yeah...I was got about 10-11mpg when towing the boat I mentioned. Granted that was through the mountains for WV so I was pretty happy.

I am by no means an expert in towing, but I did tow a Malibu Wakeboard boat last year for my friend from NC to MI. I left it in "4" the entire time as this eliminates OD. I was having similar things happening as you describe, changing gears, etc. but once I left it in '4', I had no issues...

G.I.G., I feel your pain!!! This tire decision is toughing than you think!!! You said you were in CO? I am going out to visit a buddy in Denver in late October, I can't wait....I love CO!!! Anyways, onto the tire situation. I am still so confused. As I said I like the REVO's, but don't...

I really liked the BFG's, but two things are steering me away from them: 1) I wish I did, but I just don't do any off-roading so I don't think I need to go THAT aggressive. 2) I am trying to really stick with 265/65's. I know I can go 70's and a lot of people do, but I went up a size or two...

Thanks. I will have to go look at the Michelin's again. Like I said, I know it is the "smart choice." I was looking at the Geolander AT-S. The manager at the local tire shop had them on his F-250 and they looked real nice. As my name indicates, I came from the Heep World and on my Heep's I...
