What. Ive had them and loved them. They were MTs and were not loud in the least bit. I got great life out of them and never had any problems. I will def buy them again.

Mine are so loud, I can't even hear my engine running which is a diesel.

ITs a good tire if you want an AT that looks like a street tire.

While this is going on guess I will ask. Getting a new truck so dont want to drop all the $ on new tires for my current truck. Anyone have any 265 75 16s that are in decent shape they want to sell me?


Green head: I have some 275/75/15 Duelers that are coming off my truck this weekend. They don't have much left on on them but I know you're only looking to get thru the summer. $200. lsumotorboat at g male

Think you're thinking about the Dueler HT or HP

I'll be in the same boat soon too.

I hate the 275/60/20 Goodyears that come stock on my truck. I kind of want to level my truck and go with a more aggressive tread...but I rarely offroad and do a lot of driving...so I feel like that'd be a waste. But I'm tire of the stock aesthetics of my truck. I looked at some Destination A/T's and thought they looked good.

Well if that's the case then why not just get some Pitbull AT's?


Figured he was looking for the best multi purpose tires.

Dude dont get your panties in a wad. I just said the duelers look like street tires. I hated the way they looked and wanted a true AT and went with the LTZ's. Thats a long way from a MT.

On my second set of these on my '04 Z71 suburban; great luck so far! They see the mud occasionally during hunting season and get me where I need to go. Reasonably priced, compared to some of the others in that class

I'm going to pull the trigger on some Mickey Thompsons because I am sick of looking at tires and someone here said they got 80,000 miles on them.

So you're saying the Dueler AT's aren't "true All Terrain tires?

Just wondering because I've had two sets on my trucks and also worked for Firestone/Bridgestone for 4 years.
Also worked for Goodyear for 2 years and several other independent shops throughout the BR area and hands down the Duelers were the best riding,longest lasting tires.
The coopers are a lesser line of tires,sorry to tell you.
Anyway,panties un-wadded.

Again, they look like street tires. They came on my truck and I couldnt wait for them to wear out and get some real AT tires.

The tires that come on vehicle brand new are not as good as the ones bought from the store.

Discount Tire Direct.
Have them shipped to you and have them installed wherever you want or have them direct shipped to a shop.
No taxes and cheap shipping.
Tirerack now charges shipping to Louisiana ever since they got a warehouse in Shreveport.

Nahh,I was asked by Tony to let it stay. He didn't want to make it look like LASM was taking sides on the issue ,I just didn't want it getting out of hand like it usually does concerning CCA.
