I'm getting new tires for my 97 T 4WD. I do most of my driving on the road (~90%). I don't do any serious off-roading, not intentionally anyway. Sometimes it does get a little hairy when we're scouting out new hunting spots but I don't look for trouble.

I have Michelins on both of my vehicles now and am very pleased with them but I have the wandering eye. I know that a lot of you run Bridgestone Revos and love them. My big question concerns how well they keep their balance. I've had the Michelins balanced once in the 23K that I've owned the truck and that's because they were out of balance when I bought it.

I'm trying to weigh my options because I believe I can get the tires for about the same price but I'm moving soon and if I go with our local tire store, which I really like, I'll be paying for balancing after I move. If I buy from Sam's, I'm covered for the life of the tires.

If you're still reading, thanks for hanging in there. Hopefully you can help me make my decision.
