Anyone have any experience with the Bridgestone OEM's in sand? I'm going to the beach next month.
Let's talk factory Bridgestone H/T Tires

Thanks; I will check them out.
They are fine. I air down to 18psi and had no problems whatsoever even in deep soft sand. I was surprised they actually did pretty good.

Speaking of PSI, I've got 32 in mine for everyday use. I swapped the 20" wheels for SR5 17" wheels, so I'm running on those tires. Is 32 still ok?
Called town fair tire today in Newington NH and they won't give credit for the tires. I may have to put them on Craigslist or just put up with them for awhile. I will probably only put 5-7k miles on it a year though, so I could have them for awhile...
I just didn't like the squeeling on the test drive, but maybe they will be ok.
You could try other Town Fair's, but I can't guarantee anything. When I did it, some stores didn't want to do it all and other's varied on what they would give me for them.

My SR5 sais that tires should be 32 psi, so I guess 32 is still fine.

You would be lucky to get $100 for the set, but you may be better off cutting your losses and get rid of them (Dunflops). They are horrible!

prior to taking delivery, i too called around to see if any shops would credit for the takeoffs but had no luck. i ended up just having the dealer swap them out and it worked out even better than if i'd taken it to a shop after the fact. good luck!
My dealership experience has been a nightmare and I cannot stand the idea of calling them for anything else. We should get the car on Monday as they received my money today and then I am done with them forever!
Nice; just figured out this multi quote thing...
I would be so happy to find this same deal, though I have the Bridgestone H/Ts and would most likely swap out for the Revo 2's like Tbob32. I'll call around some more.

Not to create more out of it than is....but it is total and complete BULL $HIT that you have to go out and buy new tires for a new truck...especially the one that is the Toyota flagship "Trail Edition"....where in the hellwas the expert engineer trail designer?...out for friggin sake when they they held the vote for tires?? It makes no sense to me what so ever!
Ok..rant is over..:smashputer:
Threw new shoes on today....and here is how it went down.
Decided to go with the Revo II E range...mostly because I'll be towing...not heavy stuff...but better safe than sorry.
The ride improved DRAMATICLY!! UNBELIEVABLE!!
Someone here likend the ride on the Dunflops (total tire fail Toyota) to riding on a ball...and I concur with that 1000%..unacceptable, plain and simple.
The new ride does not feel like you're "tipping" over cornering, it's much more refined and solid,and the noise was not noteworthy at all. When you point the steering wheel it goes in the direction you point it...not the long way around.
I can not say anything about the loss of gas mileage...but will report back after I get a full week of commute(450 m)on them.
Out of pocket was $889..withn a $100 mail in rebate. Some guy is buying the dunflops with 15,000 miles for $300.
I know we discussed several times the Duratracs...and IMHO they are much better looking...but, there seemed to be more negitive comments about the sidewall roll than the on the Revo's. I did not want to take a chance on spending the money and being stuck with the same issue I had. Thanks to all the Duratrac owners for their input..much appreciated.

Thanks Sandcrawler and jca21. I had these on the Titan back in 08' and loved em'..but sold the truck without getting much of a chance to enjoy them. As I said...it was a tough one between these and the Duratracs, which I feel in love with..I stayed up reading for 3 nights....lol.:lmao:
The dealer is also going to give me a deal on a couple of more for the trailer build...so Revo's all the way around!
Kev..i'll get you a pic in the a.m.
