You will hear "meh" sounds and other terms for the Bridgestone dueler, but I have a positive view for them. I do very little off road but I do some sand hear in Florida, and I have never been stuck or even close and it is 4WD. Admittedly, I have only ventured into deep sand a handful of times.
My 4runner rides very well for a 153000 mile vehicle. Tire wear is very even. The backs had about 1/2 tread left when I got the car 2 years ago and still have the same although I have only put about 5k miles on it. The receipt I found in the glove said they were put on at 108,000. But that is probably not the last time they had been replaced as the look great still.
The "dang I am buying these tires again" moment, came this past week. It was the third time I had screws sticking out and none of the three have ever caused a puncture (that terminology is for you F1 fans). This last time in the rain, away from home, I didn't feel good and I was driving away from a store and heard the clack clack clack as it went around, I got out and there it was. I got out the the patch kit, it was muddy and rainy and miserable but I would have to lie down to get it plugged. I pulled it out and once again no leak. I started saying "thank you lord thank you lord", and then I said thank you Bridgestone.
they are a good riding tough tire in my opinion, and since tire buying is research hell, I am just going back to the dueler, they have treated me well.
