Re: New, larger tires...
I've had the REVOs for about 5000 miles now and love them. My TJ is my DD
and the GSAs were horrible in wet weather. The REVOs are a great
improvement there. Offroad they seem pretty good and to me are an
improvement to the GSAs, but I don't do anything too extreme and haven't had
to go through much mud yet (I try to avoid it as it's a pain to clean up
afterwards and just isn't worth the hassle to me unless there's no way
around it).

I've had the REVOs for about 5000 miles now and love them. My TJ is my DD
and the GSAs were horrible in wet weather. The REVOs are a great
improvement there. Offroad they seem pretty good and to me are an
improvement to the GSAs, but I don't do anything too extreme and haven't had
to go through much mud yet (I try to avoid it as it's a pain to clean up
afterwards and just isn't worth the hassle to me unless there's no way
around it).

Re: New, larger tires...
Nope, I just got off the phone with them and I'm out the door with 4
new 31x10.50 15's for $541.56. It works out to $135.39 a piece but
that includes tax, mounting, stems, disposal of the "Get Stuck
Anywhere's" (actually, I have absolutely no complaints about the
original GY GSA's they've treated me very well) and Lifetime
balancing!
I think it's a pretty good deal still.
