So I suppose I'll leave the stock hankook tires on my 17" rims..when they wear out I'll look at getting something along the lines of the Michelin Latitude Tour HP or equivelant rating? I mostly use my truck only on the weekends as I have a DD vehicle. Dont tow really anything at all...maybe someday when I get some jetskis.

The only thing that concerns me are the hankooks themselves. I know the ones on my truck are a different type of hankook tire than what is on the F350 van I drive to work everyday. The problem is the F350 came with hakooks...cant remember exact style, but have gone through 2 sets of tires in under 40k miles. Maybe they were bad batches of tires, but both sets separated and had to have them changed out. The van I drive is a 15 passenger and we have a consistant 13 people riding to and from work. I know they are the high capacity tires.....55psi up front and 80psi out back.

Just a FYI I suppose...I have a bad taste in my mouth with hankook tires..least the ones they kept putting on the van...not sure if we should be worried for our trucks? The set of tires they have on the van now are firestone brand.

Thanks for posting!
Was interested in the Revo 2 as I have them on my Tahoe and was looking to get them on my F150. and you just saved me a few bucks as I dont need the Consumer reports now

Quick question... maybe I missed it or I am just stupid.

Both the Revo 2 and Pirreli ATR received (62) but the revo is fair and the ATR is Poor.

It looks like the Fair/Poor rating refer to Rolling resitance... what does the (62) refer too? Is that just an overall CR rating for the tire?
Meaning that both tires get the 62 rating (out of 100?)... but the Revos have better rolling resitance?

I think they should do some testing with the nitto dura grappler, it is supposed to be an excellent highway tire.
