I asked this question when I first got my Jimny and the general consensus was "no", so I use different wheels/tyres in winter. I have found it quite easy to lose grip on wet roads with the Duelers. On the plus side the Jimny is pretty light so even with Duelers it should cope OK in the snow on road with the four wheel drive.

I've not had a problem with the Duellers in the wet. Backend seems to stay planted, not that I push it.

In thick mud they seem to pull the J out no problem, albeit in 4x4 mode.

Duellers are okay... but i moved onto Grabbers and was surprised at the extra amount of grip

The problem with duallers is manufacturing differences
One set will be great allround tyres but nest set will be crap even on road ,
First jim we had had some good ones and would go anywhere you would expect an at to but when we fitted new ones it was rubbish
Grabbers are much more reliable
