Have some Bridgestone 604V Duellers on my Patrol and am up for at least two tyres. The current ones are 215/80 R16's.
Any suggestions on replacements- I have been very happy with the current Bridgestones, proabably 75% bitumen/25% dirt use.
Thanks in advance, Cheers

My suggestion, for what it's worth, is better the devil you know!
If you are very happy with your current tyres, buy the same again, that way as you only want 2, they will match up.

David,
The 604V are
the Desert Duellers, as apposed to the newer 694 Duellers with "donut technology".
I have both and prefer the tread pattern on the older 604V's.
The last time I purchased, the 604V was selling for $168 and the 694 for $218.
If you are happy with them, stick with them. You will find it hard to do better.

As said, if your happy with them, why change .. You hear stories all the time with tires...
good/bad/ugly on every brand/make/model/size of tires...
