You might have more success if you posted it in General Tech. Have you had a search through the Dueler related threads in General Tech? I just did a quick search and there was HEAPS. I can't answer your question either, as i've only done onroad with my old set.

Hey mate.

I have had no experience with the Deset duelers, But;

I am currently running Goodyear wrangler Dura-tracs, I do mostly pretty rough nuts offroad stuff.
And these tyres still haven't let me down.
On road they handle fine, They are pretty much what I would call a Cross between a full muddy and a AT. Top tyre in my opinion :)

When I had my landcruiser I was running Maxxis Bighorns, Another very good tyre. Could not fault them in mud and rocks, Albit a bit wondery on the road, But I'm not sure that could have somthing to do with the car being 27 yr's old.

Hope this info is helpful.

Cheers
Jono

I have Bf Goodrich Mud Terrain's on my GQ and they are awesome ( I give my truck hell in the bush ) had them on 12 months now still excellent tread with most of my driving on road as it's my daily. Just the odd nicks and such from the bush.
