But that would be a good thing. This modern assumption that because it has a test means it's ok to drive gives me the fear. An iva /sva level test every 6 months from new would be a start.

I think the Duellers HTs are the worst tyre I've ever experienced, I bought my first Jimny new and replaced the Duellers after a couple of months of sliding all over the place. Even cheap remould MTs had at least twice the grip in the wet.
I do drive smoothly in the wet round roundabouts but I don't like to slow down too much - it takes too long to get back up to speed afterwards :laugh:

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Duellers are rubbish in the wet
Ditch them and fit anything else as soon as you can afford

My sons Wrangler JKU had Duellers on and they would unexpectedly break away at the back in the wet or damp
He's now got Cooper Discoverer STTs on and the difference is night and day even thought they are Mud Terrains.

Never had any real problem with Duellers on both my Jimnys.
Sorry to disappoint all you offroaders but I've gone for Continental Contac SUV tyres.
Mainly because they are relatively quiet and good grip.

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)
