Interesting thread for a newbie to Jimny world like me. Even the bickering posts :woohoo:
So, on my 13 plate I have bridgestone duellers. What is the opinion here of these tyres from you "seasoned" owners.
For example, if we get another 2010 winter will these cope ok?
Elswhere on the web opinions are divided. Some even suggest getting some extra wheel/tyres for winter ??
Thoughts?

Wine improves with age.
The older I get the more I like it

they'll probably be OK on a 13 plate, but once the tread gets below 4mm they go downhill rapidly and you start loosing the backend even in the wet.

many peeps say they don't have an issue with duellers, but anyone who's ever rode 2 wheels and actually understands tyres will tell you how bad they can be.

the improvement on my AT's is massive for snow, wet, dry and comfort - the only downside is reduced mpg, something that happens as a result of more rolling resistance (namely GRIP :cheer: )

my advice for it's worth, keep the duellers for a couple of years then change to ATs
;)
