Bridgestone desert dueller 31x10.5x15

Good for what?
Soft walls.
Good in sand.

In the scheme of things they are average tyres.

They are not good and they are not bad. Just average.

Good on Sand

Hopeless if towing heavy wieghts I had 3 of mine blow out on my last trip the side walls just blow out and 2 of them where on tared roads.

I had to by 5 new tyres in Clairmont. I put cooper tyres on as they where the only tyre they had 5 of and cost me $1700 for the 5 tyres and $2500 for the damage to the car from the blown out Bridgestones.

Not Happy

Got the 604s on my Cruiser and never had any issues with as long as you look after them - i.e. correct tyre pressures etc. They have worked well for me in the sand, on gravel, on bitumen and in wet conditions.

They are a middle of the market tyre and I like them.

Who cares?
Buy BFGoodies and you wont regret it. A guy I know (has a 1998 GU 2.8TD like me, but mine goes faster!) has them on his truck and to date on the trips I been with him on (Tasmania, Outback QLD, Cape ect.) he has so had 5 tyres go ( two blowouts and three flats) where as my almost identical patrol has had a single flat over exactly the same km's. Also has had bad pitting on his after only 25,000 km. However they are very quiet on road and I belive his truck does handle slighty better to mine (same size as mine, I know you want 15" though!) due to the slightly more road orientated pattern.
I have 265/75/R16 BFG AT's though when I was buying the truck and had the choice of either these or Cooper ST's for $10 a tyre less; I chose BFG. I did this because I beleive that BFGs are better onroad than Coopers although they may, I stress MAY, be more susceptibel to damage offroad (8ply Vs 3ply sidewalls). Yes Coopers does have that warranty but to ever keep it intact you will have to have service/alignments every 10000km (?); too complicated and costly for me.

My advice is next time your around the shopping centres have a look over all the city bound 4X4's and have a look at tread patterns/wear ect. If the owners come up and enquire about what the hell your doing looking at thier tyres explain; anyone worth thier weight will be happy to talk and explain thier experiances (most will talk thier teeth out given the opportunity).

Hope this makes sense as now it is getting to be that time of the hour; pshht glug, glug, glug ........

Aaaah Weekends!

You talking the 693s or the 694s ?? two very different species of rubber ,

We have Desert Duelers on the ute. I've gotten us into plenty of sticky spots and they've gotten us out every time. Like ANY tyre use the right pressure for the conditions and they do the job.

We bought them because we couldn't justify the extra expense of BFGs. Before people start sprouting the wonders of BFGs at me, the Desert Duelers replaced a set of BFGs and they were great tyres too.

The newer D694's seem to work pretty good for an A/T.
