Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo with UNI-T AQII P265/75/R16
I have upgraded my factory tires from
Dunlop Grandtrek TG35 P265/70/R16 (31")All Season Radials
to Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo with UNI-T AQII P265/75/R16 (32")
Standard Load. These tires are approx. 1.3" larger than the factory tires and require no lift to fit without rubbing.
I had them mounted with the blackwalls out, and the outline white letters facing in.
The factory Dunlop Grandtrek TG35's lasted me just about 40,000 miles.
The Dueler A/T REVO with UNI-T AQII Technology was developed to meet the needs of pickup truck and sport utility vehicle
drivers who drive their vehicle both on and off the road. The Dueler A/T REVO is Bridgestone's first Off-Road All-Terrain
light truck tire in America to feature UNI-T AQII Technology. It uses an advanced compound and construction features
that enhance and preserve wet traction throughout the tire's life to better handle wet road conditions.
On the outside, the Dueler A/T REVO molds a Super Long Link Carbon Black, Dual Layer Tread II compound
into an aggressive, all-terrain pattern of interlocking tread blocks to provide traction and handling
on- and off-road. As the top layer of tread compound wears away, it reveals a second layer specifically
developed to resist aging and remain pliable to retain more wet traction-even as it wears.
Internally, the Dueler A/T REVO features a Computer Optimized Component System that blends twin high
strength steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area and enhance
durability while minimizing weight. O-Beads (which use a single strand of bead wire that is continuously
wrapped multiple times until the desired strength is provided) enhance the tire's fit to the wheel to
improve uniformity and ride quality.
The R- or S-speed rated Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO tires feature outline white letter sidewall
styling on one sidewall and stylized black letter styling on the other. They are available in popular
P-metric, LT-metric and Flotation light truck sizes for 15" and 16" wheel diameters.

Follow up:
As mentioned above, the factory Dunlop Grandtrek TG35's lasted me just about 40,000 miles which took about 6-1/2 years to put on.
After them I upgraded to these Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos. These Revos were such an improvement over the factory issued tires that I will never again waste the first 40k on factory tires, but rather I will upgrade from day 1.
I was able to get 40,000 miles out of these tires and at that point couldn't really push it any further at all. This took me about 7-1/2 years to hit this mileage.
I rotated them every 5,000 miles and ran with between 40#-42# air pressure at all times.
I was very happy with these tires throughout their life and would not hesitate to recommend them or purchase them again. They offered excellent traction on-road in all conditions, dry, wet, snow, all while performing
quite well off-road when needed. They have had absolutley no road noise over the factory all season tires.
