I got the 265 Revo for my Burb. Only have about 3k on them but I really like them. Agressive tread, low noise, great grip in wet or dry, good ride. Lightly hits the inner fender when suspension is compressed and turning right at the same time. I'd buy them again. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Based on my studies here and elsewhere for replacement tires in the A/T general type, the Revo's are the best bet going. Unless there is a better all around tire built in the next few years, that will be my replacement tires on my truck.


In fact, I will be replacing the Goodyear's on my wife's Grand Cherokee with Revo's. (P-rating for the Jeep).


They are very quiet for their tread pattern and have good wet and snow traction.


I would go to tirerack.com and read the reviews on the Revo's and 693's. I think you'll insist on the Revo's IMHO.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

I think the 693s are the regular Dueler ATs. I had a set before and as they wear out, they get real noisey, but they wear like iron. Got 65K before replacing them with a set of Dueler APTs. That set was really quiet but had to sacrifice traction for less noise. Also, that set lasted a very long time, almost 87K. Now on a set of Dueler REVOs. Agressive tread and surprisely quiet. I can't wait for the wet weather to come around to see how it does in snow, rain & mud. Looking forward to getting a lot miles on this set.
