Hey guys.... does anyone have the Dueler M/T on their truck or have any experience with them? I had A/Ts on my Ranger and I loved them. Any pics or info on ride, etc. would be appreciated.... thanks,

I have 285x75x16 on 16x10 rims. Rides about 1- 1 1/2" higher. As I recall, Bridgestone says rims should be 8-11" wide (don't quote me, it may have been 8.5-10"). This set up was recommended by a tire retailer, and the 'wider-than-normal' rim really helped the side-to-side stability in the turns. A *very* minor bit of trimming was necessary to allow a steering lock-to-lock, because the front tires hit the mudflaps and the air dam. With a pair of sheet metal scissors the cutting was a snap.

This is my first truck. I don't really know what MT's are supposed to sound like on the freeway, but these have a fairly quiet drone. There's no doubt they are 'noisy', but not overly so; not even my wife complains. Since this is my first 4x4, I'm pretty cautious about getting stuck, but they seem to "mud" pretty well, and they wear well, too. Absolutely no complaints. I have seen on the web that this tire is by public consensus quieter than a BFG MT; that's just what I read, I've never heard BFG's.

I've got 285/60/18 H/P's mounted on chrome lightning wheels on my '97 Flairside 4x4 and really like them. The tread pattern on these are more aggresive than on the H/T's and higher in price, but I think the look and ride is worth it. Good luck!

 

Anyone else with Dueler experience? I know you guys are out there.
