Finally got the Revo's

[dwulffusa]

Dropped the coin this week. Hopefully they will settle in as the are pretty choppy and twitchy on the road. Upside is great steering feel and turn in, braking feels better, even accelaration and shifting feel more linear. Downsides are steering does not center well on the highway and increased rolling resistance is pretty evident.

I just got REVO's too, I don't seem to have the problems you are having. Maybe the tire shop didn't balance them properly? I have my tire pressure set to 35 lbs. I filled my gas tank after I got my tires and I just filled up today for the first time, my gas mileage was .1 MPG less than the last tank. I did also take into consideration the upsizing so the numbers were adjusted. Have fun with your tires, I still need to get a wash in to take better pics.

Have your alignment done. The issues you speak about should not be very noticeable at all by just changing tires, unless your alignment is out. Esp. the castor and toe, as both of those effect how twitchy a car feels. I just had mine done, castor was way out (lift) and now the car self centers much better, is not a twitchy on bumps etc.

Do you mean "decreased rolling resistance" (decreased resistance to rolling)? So they feel like they allow more sway in the vehicle? That's the first that I've heard on this forum. I'm still waiting for the buy 3 get 1 free deal before I make the plunge.
