New (to Me) Tires And A Minor Hiccup
#4
Sounds good...

I just got my newest mod completed on the 'Scape before work today...

235/70 R16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's. I noticed a difference in the truck instantly. It felt a little bit more taught manovuering around the parking lot at the OK tire in Gloucester, and then descending a curb. After getting onto the 174 to make my way back to the 417 to get back downtown fast, I noticed that there is a little bit more noise in these tires at highway speed than the stock Conti's, but that might be attributed to being stone cold, and not being on the truck more than 10 minutes (I know the treadblocks will have to wear slightly and that the tires need to "settle" under load too). But, with that being said...the grip...OMG! The truck feels really firmly planted, and the lateral grip is definately improved. I am anxious to see how they are after I get an alignment done to the truck and get them upto temperature too.

I'll post up some pics of the new tires soon...

Good luck with your tires too!
