I didn't know there was a differencein looks in p vs lt in these tires...
I cant get the "extreme" ones because they don't make them in our stock size
What do you think of these tires... Anything better?

I think the Revo 2s are a more recent version than your OEM tires, but can't say for sure.
Your call. There are lots of good tires out there.
they arent Dueller REVO2.... the Revo2s are arguably one of the best tires out in their class

The reason the tires are the suck is for two reasons...
The truck is too heavy for the spec'ed tire..
and they (the stockies)are an "all season"....so no real purpose in life, just kinda, sorta, maybe good at everything.
The Bridgstone AT Revo II's are great at almost everything. I'm on my third set in two different vehicles, and although I try to convince myself to get something different, I just can't...they're awesome in wet, ice, handling, under loads (I only run LT's) towing, off road, and everything else I've thrown at them. Their road manners are outstanding.
just my 2 cents..

The problem is my friend, the ones that like mud, don't like wet or ice...it's a GD conundrum isn't it?

Just conversing, agreed they would be a good choice for his application.
Agreed! These Mickey Thompson MTZ's are the best mudder I've ever driven on the street, but that doesn't make them drive like Revo's on the street!

I had Bridgestone Revo's on a Durango about 7 years ago and found them to be superior in almost all conditions compared to BFG AT's. The BFG's really sucked in the snow imo, others may disagree.
My brother was in the market for some at's and I recommended he go with the Toyo AT-II per my research. Supposedly they are quieter on road with similar off road characteristics. Toyo is also highly regarded as one of the premium tire manufacturers, plus they were slightly cheaper in our area, so we decided to give them a shot. He got the P-rated which are the least-aggressive of the bunch but they look plenty aggressive compared to the Revo's. He drives a grand cherokee and uses it for light/occasional wheeling when camping and for handling Lake Tahoe snow in the winter. I can snap some pics later this evening if you'd like. I don't really think you can go wrong here though.

I had the close cousin of the Toyo, the Nitto TerraGrappler on my T4RTE, and they were excellent, durable, and did alright in both mud and snow. I would expect the Toyos to perform about the same.
However, if I were doing a lot of driving where the winters are nasty, I'd get something with the snowflake symbol. For the Tundra, it's going to be a toss-up between the General Grabber AT2, and the Nokian Rotiiva AT. If you do no off-roading at all, Nokian WRG2 SUV tires would also be considered.
I have Nokian WR tires on my Maxima, and for a front wheel drive with a real limited slip front end, it did fine in the Cascade Mountains 6 inches of slushy snow. More than once.

Toyo Open Country AT 2
Here are some shots of the Toyo Open Country AT-II. Keep in mind these are size P235/65 R17 on a Jeep. They're slightly more aggressive than the Revo's so we expect them to perform a little better on the trail. Although these should be good in the snow, as homeyclaus pointed out if cold weather performance is a primary concern the Revo's might prove to be a better choice... it's gonna be a close call though. Hope this helps.

I have Toyo Open Country A/T II P245/75/16 on my Trooper. They are a good snow and wet road tire and resist hydroplaning well. From my experience they don't do well in deep sand. Otherwise they are great off road and they ride well on asphalt but they are noisy. They are durable as well. I took them on a pretty rough mining road about a month ago--no flats, no punctures, on lots of sharp rocks and small boulders. And remember, these are P rated tires, not LT. With the exception of the noise, I like them very much.
BTW, I got the whole set mounted, balanced, and with lifetime rotate and balance warranty for $600 out the door.

$600, you got a great deal! Maybe it's because it was for a smaller size?
Where did you get such a good deal?
Lowest I can find them anywhere is tread depot @ $147 a tire not including shipping or installation

They look great man, I'm leaning more and more towards toyo, I always had good results with Toyo's and michelins so I think I want to stick to one of those brands...

Are the Bridestone AT Revo 2's marked with the snowflake symbol? I know Bridgestone claims "best" snow performance for their tire, but qualitative comparisons from manufacturers are at best relative to their own standards, and usually meaningless.

Wife called me today saying the tpms sensor was blinking on dash board. I told her to stop by a local tire shop.
They told her one of the tires has a bubble on the inside sidewall which is causing a slow air leak....
I thought I was going to get at least another 2 months out of my tires, but now I need some ASAP.
I called a local town fair tire and asked if the would price match the Toyo Open Country AT 2 at $147 a tire plus installation, and they said NO PROBLEM!... So Toyo OC's it is in P version... Sadly we use the SUV on road 99% of the time, and only go camping a few times a year which involves very little off road... But I want a more aggressive looking tire than the stock, very crappy Bridgestone dueler...
Ill post some pics tomorrow, thanks for your help
