Over the past 10 months I have had 3 different sets of tires on my truck and as of Thursday I'm on set number 4 and finally happy. Since getting rid of the original BFG's I have had General Grabber red letters, Falken Wildpeaks, Goodyear Duratracs and now Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2's. While I liked the looks of the other tires I hated how they worked on my truck. The Generals and the Falkens weighed a ton. So much so that I felt my truck was sluggish with those tires. All three were a pain to balance and even after the balancer said they were balanced perfect, I still felt a slight vibration with all those tires. I finally decided to go the conservative route and get the Bridgestones. After only 3 days I'm loving these tires even though I do admit that I miss the aggressive look that we all like on our Raptors. The Bridgestones balanced so easy. The worst tire required 2.5 ounces and the best one only needed .75 ounces to balance. I find this amazing considering the size of these tires. Some of the other brands of tires I had required 11 ounces to balance. These tire are very quiet and the ride is great even though they are load range E. I don't know how durable they will be or how they will work off-road, but for the type and amount of offroading I do I think they will be fine. I'm going out to Plaster city in a few weeks to give them a test. Anyway, I couldn't be happier and now I don't have to spend all my time thinking about tires.

Need closer up pics. I'd like to see the tires on better detail. You may be the first raptor to wear these

Had those on a Z71, brother had them on a '01 F-150 screw. Both had very high opinions of them. They worked really well in the rain, better than the BFG A/Ts. Reasonably good offroad, but I only have experience with them on fire roads, didn't try using that truck in anything close to the capacity that many people on here do with their Raptors.

Only negative was they did get a bit noisy with age, but they did last a long time.

I was just looking at those as an option. Please keep us posted on how they wear.
What made you get rid of the OEM tires?

Interesting tread design. It almost looks like a mix of a H/T tire in the center and A/T on the edges.

I thought I wanted a more aggressive looking tire, but after 3 different sets I realized a mild all terrain tire is the way to go for me.
