Just fitted fantastic A/T Tyres

noise level is very low, infact all of sudden after replacing the tyres i found knocks and rattles coming from my engine bay!!!

much quieter than the Cooper A/T or S/T and much more than BFG's.

they are VERY aggressive, i've got them fitted to my Disco. they may not be as aggressive as the ST's but remember:

the Dueler AT 694's are an All-Terrain tyre (70% road/30% off) whereas the Cooper ST are not (60/40%) and as such are expected to be tougher. the Discoverer A/T are the equivelent and the 694's are more aggressive than they are.

sorry, but their wet road grip is phenomenal. we got about 40mm of rain in perth in one day this week and i was going thru patches of water over 6 inches in depth at about 90-100kms with no aquaplanning at all. wet braking in those conditions was just as great as dry. they really grip the road in the wet.

sand traction and dirt is also incredible, i rate them much higher than BFG's, cooper A/T, desert duelers and Yokka S/Diggers for their traction and grip. mud is the only limiting factor, they can handle a decent amount, but once deep in mud they're not great at self-cleaning, but that's what you expect from A/T tyres. if you go mudding, get M/T tyres!

the side walls are reinforced more than the previous dueler range, and i've done a fair bit in them already with no problems at all. i'm off to coral bay for 2 weeks on friday, so i'll report back with their performance up there when i get back.

like i said before - they are very aggressive for an A/T tyre - you can't compare the tread pattern of an A/T to a M/T or the Cooper ST or STT.

totally different tyre categories. for the 70/30 driving level and as an A/T tyre, they are probably the most aggressive tyre i've seen yet.

i have the 245/70 R16's fitted on 7" steel rims.

Are they the Dueler D694 or D693? and why are you selling them?

The D694 is a very new Tyre only released late last year, although it has been in the USA and Europe for a while and enjoying rave reviews.

I agree with Nathank, they are very agressive for an A/T Tyre but if you want a Mud Tyre , Buy a Mud Tyre.

I have not tried driving them through Canola stubble so I cannot give an opinion on that one.

Just wait for the experienced reviews in the near future on these tyres they are that good.

Enough said,

Cheers,

i find that surprising - not questioning you mate - but they were only released by Bridgestone in November last year, and only available in tyre stores from Jan this year.

my mate bought a new TI and that came with Dueler H/T's, i think you scored a bit getting A/T tyres if you did.

from memory the only write up on Dueler A/T's in any of 4x4 mag was for the older D693 A/T's, and it wasn't a glowing report. however they used the standard model and not the reinforced one recommended for off-road work (there's 3 types of D693 - passenger, reinforced and light truck).

these tyres have only become available this year, so I'm not sure how you got them mid last year.

The Revo (D694) has been around overseas since late 2002. I happen to know that one because I was waiting to see if Bridgestone will release them locally before I finally gave up and bought BFG A/T's in Jan 2003.

That's how 10Para would have got them on a new Patrol last year.

Thanks Savvas thought i was going mad, nice to see someobe awake out there, i think the quote about SEQ and BFG is quite good as well what that really means is that tere are tire for vertain jobs we had BFG on for NZ due to the river work with rounded rocks etc and for Northern Australian will look at Coopers ST or STC for the south would most likley use a M/T
Always great ready the site after a few days away
