New tyres

The Bridgestone 694 Dueler is a good tyre for the price.
The Bridgestone 693 Dueler is "maybe" even better if you can still get them.

The 693 is made in Japan and Bridgestone were planning to stop importing them, in favour of the 694, which is now made in Australia. The carcasses are identical for both.

I probably would have bought the 694 compound as they were cheaper than the 693's, but at the time, the 694's were "brand new" in the locally made compound and time was needed for "on the road" trials.

That was a few months ago and the facts above were relevant for the 645/70/R16 size tyre.
I'm happy with the 693's and will probably buy the 694's again next time.

I previously had a set of 694's and got 70,000 K's out of them but I liked the look of the 693 pattern a little better so I managed to buy them, albeit will some difficulty, as Bridgestone had stopped supplying them in my size, to the general public.
The remainling stock were being "reserved" for emergency vehicle use.

P.S. I thought the Challenger used the 16 inch tyre like the Rodeo and Jackaroo?

Bridgestone are offering Cash Back with the Dueler A/T D694.

The standard size for my Triton is the same as your Challenger and due to the limited range in 265/70 R15s I went to 31 x 10.5 R15s and have BFG ATs and have done about 35000kms and reckon that they are not even 50% worn.

My Mits. Challenger came with Yokohama Geolanders, think they were 32's.
Got 75000km's and they wore very evenly. Just replaced them with Yok. Geo 51s which ápparently are a better tyre and cheaper.
A little firmer ride but not unpleasant.

Hi Seaslug,

I have had a great run out of 4 sets of 693's on the GU (around 80,000km each set) and will in the coming months need my next set of tyres and rest assured the Bridgestones are top of the list.

Cheers, Trevor.

We have a paj with the sam,ew size tyres, went to 31/1or/15 and put on Kumho road venture ats which seem very good after 15000ks no obvious wear and seem good off road and we picked them up for $170.00 ea
Cheers Pete
