So it's about time to buy some new tires, and I have heard discount tires and America's tire price match from the internet. Low and behold, it doesn't seem they carry Bridgestone tires...Where is a mainstream chain that I can buy a set of Dueler A/T Revo's for a decent price? Preferably one that might pricematch off the internet?

Also, I was looking at www.tirerack.com and the dueler's that are $114 have a load rating of 'SL'. I'm guessing this is Standard Load, and is this enough for our Tacoma's? Or should I bump up to the $138 load rating of C. Thanks!

Coscto should be able to order them for you since they most likely keep them on inventory-

Till the end of the month- Costco has an instant $60 off a set of 4 tires (Michelin & Bridgestone)

They're prices are very competitive & include mount, balance, etc....

Just got a set of tires for my Wife's Xterra

 

[CYi5]

That was one of my other options, i'll have to look into that further before the offer ends. Is $60 off pretty substantial in the tire world, or do better offers come along?

The SL's are a heavier load rating than the C. I just bought a set from Tirerack. Great tires so far.

Try a Bridgestone/Firestone store, they run 25% off sales occasionally.

What he said. I just bought some Bridgestone M/T's from Costco and used the $60 coupon. Ended up being about $60 cheaper than the local Firestone store even though they were offering buy 3 get 1 free.

 

[CYi5]

So how come the SL's are cheaper than the C load rating. Because they're heavier??

There is a difference of 2/32" tread. ??? I'll guess it's just supply and demand working. BFG AT's in 265/70 are about $20. more than 265/75....go figure.

 

[CYi5]

Which one has more tread?

Without looking again, I think the C and E have 17/32 and the SL is 15/32.

soo, just to clarify one last time...our tacomas should be fine with the SL load rating?

To that, all I'll say is I've run them now for about 1500 miles with no problems - well balanced, excellent wet and snow/ice traction, adequate offroad for me, and quiet.

 

[BLT2RCKTRD]

I haven't had any issues with mine either. They work very well, definitely good snow/ice traction.

just went to costco and priced them out. $122.99/tire. Same price as tire rack, i'm impressed. And with $60 off of that...i'm sold!

One thing, however, is the warranty about replacing tires excluding offroad use. Soo, do trails count as offroading?

I will tell you that Overall Costco's Customer service & satisfaction guarantee are great!

Costco's road HAzard is the same as most other places' road hazard-
Very few places offer anything beyond the prorated warranty
(The only places I know of are 4wpw - No questions asked guarantee or Discount Tires upgraded Tire replacement certs)
Even Discount tire technically excludes offroad use-
Just hose off the tire before you bring it back & you should be fine.

Plus, my local Costco can balance and rotate tires for only $17 Now, if Costco only carried off-road gear, lift kits, etc....

 

[ARB1977]

A hella lot better than those crappy bfg's. For offroad the bfgs are great but for the street they sucked till i got my revos now im a happy camper.

 

[CYi5]

I look forward to getting a set...soo, Costco asks questions when you rip your sidewall apart ?

 

[BLT2RCKTRD]

I have had both, but currently am running the revo, but I didn't think the street capability of the BFG was that bad. But I will agree that the Revo is more of a street tire.
