Post by mr Z »

g'day everyone just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Bridgestone Dueler M/T D673 (mud terrain) i can get these for $190 each (285/75/16)
i was going to go for the BFG's, but this price got me thinking

Had good results from a set of these on my first truck. They were 31s, did 70000 kays on 'em before i sold the vehicle (hilux) and they looked to have another 15000 in them, did well off road, handled well on road and i still rate these higher than BFG muds especially in the wear department.
I never had a single puncture with these either. Can't remember them being any noisier than other mud patterns.

I am running 32 11.50's on my cruiser. good in mud they dig in a bit on sand and they do ok on rock too. I wouldn't know about road noise coz I run a soft top ( I brought a 12in sub just so I could hear the stez on the highway ) and I don't care about road noise. As for on road grip, yeah they are ok for me but then I don't expect much from the cruiser on the road anyway. they seem to be waring prity good but I don't do big road K's. Havent broken off any lug's yet and they only have minor cuts in them. and I have given them a real hard time :armsup: And I havent goten any flat's yet.

Agree, but it's relative as the 673 run a silica compound (wear characteristics of a hard compund, traction of a soft) and there are so many factors that reduce wear such as the pitch, size and shape of the tread blocks...

Bit of a grave dig here but does anyone know if the D673's tend to be bigger or smaller than their nominal size?

Trying to work out if the 265/75R16 are going to be closer to 31 or 32 inches once on rims.
