|
|
Picking up a Jimny next Saturday that seems to be fitted with Bridgestone Dueller tyres. Can anyone comment on their performance in the winter, on snow/ice in particular?
Up here in NE Scotland we have had some significant snow over the last two winters and I'd like to make the best possible preparations for a potential repeat event.... |

Am no expert, but mine came with duellers. It coped ok but I wasnt as confident
as I am now with the geolanders! Wasnt SURE to get out of bother even tho they never actually let
me down. The geolanders havent missed a beat and are better on road than the duellers. They're not wearing
too quick either but I dont know if thats the tyres or just a jimny thing (or maybe Im just a great lady driver ) |

Been offered Grabber AT2 tyres as winter ones, would they fit into that classification? |
