I would say they are both great tires (From my experience with the Nitto's and the reviews of the Revo's). They scored very closely in Consumer Reports, if that means anything to you, with the Nitto's having a very slight edge overall but they were rated in a few different areas.
The Nitto's are a little cheaper. I bought on price since they seemed to be a comparible tire.

Nitto is the better bang for the buck. They both are close in their rating with a slight advantage to the REVOs for traction on dry and wet surfaces and a slight advantage to the Nittos in deep snow and ice. The REVOs are a little quieter and the Nittos have a more aggressive tread pattern. You can't go wrong with either, but there is a substantial price difference.

The Revos would be a little better if you do a lot of miles on pavement and they have a 50k mileage warranty,the Nittos do not have one at all.
I love my Nittos on my daily driver but I only put about 10k a year on my truck and I don't do too many long road trips unless wheeling is involved.
I have over 8k on mine and they have zero signs of wear with my hard driving and more than a few off road adventures and their wet weather traction and hydroplane resistance are very good also but if you only off road occasionally then the Revos might be the better choice.

Thanks all, well since I don't off-road, only for camping which is on mostly dirt roads, I think i'm gonna go with the REVOS because i put alot of miles on.

i just got the revos $815 for 5 installed 70/17 series and they look awesome but i have to say hands down they allow the body to roll or it seams much more loose through turns that i take all of the time i used to be able to do 70 like it was a sunday drive now its scary i mean scary at 60 or 62.5 with the difference in size on the speedo. im gonna air it up tomorrow and see how well we do but um yeah not as "fun" to drive spirited. (comming from xcountrys loved them sucked on hydroplaning, slush etc. rocked every else.oh yeah they stopped much quicker(any insight on that would be appreciated.)
Just did a short road trip (LA to Vegas and back) with new Terra Grapplers and they were fine on the highway. LT 8-ply tires at 60-62 psi and 70 MPH+ most of the way. A little rougher than the Cross terrains we had on the previous 4Runner, but really not bad.
The couple hundred bucks in your back pocket that you save by not going with Revos also helps to cushion lots of those bumps. :biggrin2:

What model 4Runner do you have? By going to the 70 you have raised the center of gravity and narrowed the width of the tire. The tire material itself cannot make the truck lean more, but the size can. If you do not have XREAS it may make a difference. I found the REVOs to stick like glue and have been impossible to hydroplane. On my Taco they handle increditable (Stock size LTs). I buzz my local highway every day, to and from work. And I mean BUZZ!

According to your sig, you and I have the same tires, which are either 8 or 10-ply LT tires with max PSI of 65 and 80 respectively. Terra Grapplers for 17" wheels are P-rated with max psi of 35 in which case I would probably run 32-34 psi.
The installer only put 40 psi in my tires and there was quite a bit of road noise as well as sidewall bulging where the tires contact the ground. Went up to 60ish and although the ride is less comfortable, it's quieter and I think the tires will wear longer.

60-80+ psi is max pressure period but do some research and you'll see you are running way too much pressure and you will wear very prematurely in the centers. I run 35psi in mine and they are fine. Mine are D load rated.
Road noise is normal for AT tires and the noise is generally caused by the sides of the tires and by overinflating you are pulling the sides up off the road a little hence reducing the contact patch with the pavement hence it being quieter.
I don't know anybody that runs that kinda tire pressure plus you are reducing grip also.

I have E rated Revos. At 43 psi. the new tire nubs wore off the center tread while the ouside still have some left. So it looks like I'm over inflated.
I may drop down to 38 psi.
Koz, what psi are you running the Taco?
One reason I went with the Revos, no LT 17" TG that will fit. I think the Revo is a more advance tire (or Bridgestone makes up a lot of cool marketing cliches, UNI-T AQii Super EPC CSC blah blah ...). But only time will tell. You can't go wrong with either tire.
