Dlr has a set he mounted last weekend. Stock size. Guy's wife said they looked too aggresive!
Anyway $100 each plus he's writing them up as a new sale so I get $100 Amex gift card as a rebate.

Gotta be all cash though he's including mounting and balance.

Should I go for it? :wink:

They are very grippy and will hold great going around corner. It totally changes the feel of the KJ. You'll like it.

Look at the age of the tire, REVOs are fairly new but you also don't want tires that have been sitting on a shelf for 6 years.

Mounted them. Great ride! Got rid of that 70-80mph wobble I had and I haven't even had the front end aligned yet!

A side note: the dlr says Bridgestone no longer offers the tread wear warranty?!

treadwear warranties are BS anyway. 99% of the time, if your tires wear out prematurely, it's from lack of rotation and/or alignment issues.

Of course, that got me worried so I checked the manufacture dates on the tires; 1 made in late 2007 the other 3 early 2008. So I figure I did good.

Put it this way, the other day in the rain I took a turn that usually slides the rear end and it gripped like crazy. I even gassed it harder and it still held on!
