I had the Bridgestone Dueler REVO's for a while on my old JK, and they rode really nice on the road. I had the 33" size on 16"wheels. They weren't as aggressive looking as some A/T's but the road manners are great.

i got a deal on the procomps 200$ each in a shop near my home , the BFG was 250+ each for 285-75-16 both of them get the severe snow rating, for us in Quebec you got to run winter tires since last winter....

at regular price , they are approximatively the same, the PC is a bit more aggressive than the BG but they wear faster and they are definitively louder, you can easily compare them to a toyo open country MT
for the sound


when i buy them , the duratrac was not available yet .... the only one was the silent armour , and these tires are made for full size diesel trucks like f-250

Why do you hate the Terra Grapplers? I'm putting them on my jeep on Saturday.

Mine ride smooth as a muh huckey. They are the best thing I've done so far besides the Stern upgrade headlights. As long as you get the load range C, you will NOT be disappointed.

Nah, Im spending as little as possible on the Jeep. Might be gettin rid of it if this is not the issue.

Ill give these tires a try and report back. Load range E is too rough.
