Got some new shoes put on today. They are P265/75R16 Bridgestone Dueler REvo 2's. They are a huge improvement from the Kumho's I had on there before.

 

Smart move takin off ur valence. Wouldn't wanna let those 29 inch tires rub

 

Nah dude, he needs that 70 degree entrance angle.

 

Sweet! I really miss the revo's on the ranger compared to the regular dueller at's I have on the f150

 

Valance was taken off about 6 months ago, a snowbank did it. Bridgestone lists them as 31.7" on there website, and oddly enough they list there 32's at 31.5".

 

Apparently yes, I do need that 70* entrance angle....


(this is the first valance that I took off)

 

lookin good dude

 

well ****, at least he has pics to prove it!!

 

you sir need to move up in the world! take my damn bodylift and DO IT

 

235/75/15 is a 29. not 265s

they look like good tires, but you def need a lift!

 

Do you have it off now? I have been thinking about doing it. I have the brake bleeder finished, just havnt been able to get into the garage to try it.

 

stuck on test hill powed. well i cant say much it took me like 5 tries on the far right side with the pedal to the floor lol
middle or left side= cake though lol

 

amazing how much difference it makes looking at 70 series to the 75 series, I shoulda gone with 255/75s

 

No such size as a 255/75R16. The middle number is the aspect ratio which is the percentage of sidewall compared to tread width, thats why a 245/75 and 265/75 arnt the same height.

 

That wasnt test hill, it was airbag hill. Haha. Its the 3rd or fourth hill back.

 

MMMMM Beefy!!!!!!

 

looks nice!

 

ohhhhh, airbag hill.... 5 seconds i will never forget lol

 

lol damnit still a dunes newb haha

 

"Ah guys, my airbag blew"

 

After a lot of internet research I settled on the Revo 2 tires for my 1999 Ranger 4x4 size 265/75/16. I was really looking forward to the combination of traction and mileage everyone was talking about. Well, to make a long story short, I spent most of the day at America's tire trying to get them to balance. They did it three times including a sophisticated final road simulation balance process. The slight vibration never went away. The truck was glass smooth before it went in there with fairly worn tires so I don't think it was anything to do with the truck. I finally gave up. They are taking off the Revos and putting on Cooper Discoverer ATPs in the next few days. It was probably just a bad one or two tires, but I just didn't want to wait for new ones to be shipped in only to find out they didn't work either. I will say the guys at America's tire couldn't have been nicer or more willing to work with me. I even offered maybe there was something wrong with the truck and they said no, they didn't think so, it was the tires. I have never had this problem with this truck before, never even had to have tires rebalanced after initial installation until a lot of miles later. Anyone else have a problem getting the Revos to balance?
