Re: Thanks for help on Liberty tires: any thoughts on these two Bridgestones?
I just bought stock size Revo's a few weeks ago for my 00 WJ. Not a
moment too soon. A couple days later we got our first snow/ice storm of
the season. I had to TRY losing grip on uncleared streets in 2WD and
even then it was extremely briefly. In full-time 4WD (Selec-Trac) I
thought I was back on dry pavement. Rain didn't even phase them. They
also get much better dry traction than other tires I've had on this and
my old Tahoe.

That's interesting to hear. I switched from Mich LTX M/S to the AT Revo
and had some second thoughts. Since they they have settled down and
stiffened up a bit but for a while I though it was a terrible mistake.
P225 75R15.
Still no snow, but they have gotten grippier in the first 2000 miles.
