Good 18inch tires for snow?
#13
I was just looking at these too. The Bridgestone tires on mine right now are WORTHLESS in the snow. Any big pros/cons you see?

The grabbers are good, hard to find and cost more.

For the money I think it will be hard to go wrong. What size are you running?

Running 255 55 18's...the deciding factor for me was seeing an ad on Craigslist from a guy selling a near new set due to getting deployed...the tires had less than a 1,000 miles on them and had only been on his truck for a month...
I had mixed feeling about them as well...some reviewers raved about them while others didn't think they were too hot...for the price I couldn't pass them up.
...the only dissappointing thing about them is that I have a 2" OME lift sitting here, but I'm hesitant to install it...tires have held up better than I thought they would and there's too much tread left on them for me to justify chucking them for a larger size...I'm a little worried it'll look a little goofy running stock 18's on a 2" lift even if they look much more aggressive than regular road tires.

'03 with 18s in Rhode Island, just fitted her with the Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2 A/T in time for last week's blast from Mother Nature.
The tires performed well in 8" of heavy crud. My driveway is a tenth of a mile up hill and I had no problems as I headed out. (see attached with any luck.) Snow plows chased me through unplowed roads about town early that morning; the tires held their own.
I've got Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snows on my other AWDs The purpose built snow tires were more sure footed in this stuff, but I wouldn't ride them year round.
Bottom line? The Revo 2's will get me to Vermont this weekend over dry turnpikes and through snow covered mountain twisties.
I'll drag the X5's out of ditches as required. Or not.
