I just put a set on ours and love them. I've had them on 3 different vehicles and loved the ride of every one. I usually go with the Dueler Revos but this time was an emergency and they didn't have the Revos in stock. $112 sounds like a very good price to me. My 4 out the door which included mounting, balancing and road hazard was $685.

To me they ride alot better than the Wranglers and have better traction. I got nearly 45,000 out of my last set of Revo's before trading it in and it still had quite a bit of tread on them. I think the are rated at 55k miles.

You can also check tirerack.com and compare prices.

I traded the Duelers to my dad for Wranglers and am now kicking myself for it. The Goodyears don't ride as nice or quiet.

After a few miles on the tires I find them quite comfortable. I have a very slight "rubbing" when turning hard so I am looking into the "Keys" to raise the front a bit.

Anyone have feed back on what kind of ride change the keys will give me, other than they will raise the front? :dans2:

The keys wont change the ride at all, just give an extra inch or two.

I just ordered them this morning and after doing a bit of searching I came up with a link to Bob Utter Genuine Ford parts http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=213787

Price delivered for the pair is $53.05 to Indiana. That is the discounted price. :thumbup:
