    Went to a blingbling shop in banawe and the sales person told me that they have these slightly used desert duelers from brand new fieldmasters. Yung iba pagkalabas sa casa diretso trade in daw at bili agad ng 20" rims. Yung iba weeks lang daw. She told me na ang price is 3k per piece. Ok na ba yun guys? San pa meron nun. Kasi alam ko yung brand new mga 5k pataas. Safe pa kaya yun?

    Just check the manufacture date on the sidewall of the tires. It should be more or less the same week of the same year if it really came from one vehicle.

    Preferably no more than 2 years ang age para di pa marupok. Hope this helps.

    desert duelers are very popular tires but they are the worst tires i have ever put on my 4x4. i have even experienced having three of them fail spectacularly in an 18-hour period.

    My bro in law told me ilan beses na din siya nasabugan. Pero pogi kasi yung side wall ng bridgestone. Bagay talaga sa paj. He told me ok daw dunlop.

    Are all those bad reps about Bridgestone Dueler also applicable to the 840 HT? Is it really that bad, that I have to shift to another brand despite the tires being only a few months old?

    Btw, lots of manufacturers use the Dueler HT for OEM tires in their SUVs, such as Mitsubishi on their Montero and Pajero, Isuzu on their Alterra, Toyota on the Fortuner, etc..

    Lahat ng bagong Pajero Field Master ay naka-Dueler A/T na as standard equipment. According to sales person, madami daw reklamo about the H/T's that's why they shifted to A/T's kahit hindi na 4x4 ang Pajero.

    number001,
    Ok lang naman gamitin muna. Medyo alaga lang sa pag-monitor ng pressure and physical condition palagi. Dueler H/T dun yung gulong ng Vitara. Though kapag napudpod, malabong Dueler H/T pa din ang ipalit. Something better na lang.

    Based on our experience sa Field Master namin... Ang pangit talaga ng Desert Dueler for Pajeros!! Madaming beses na madaling ma-flat at ma-oblong... Switched to Dunlop Grandtreks... Ayos na ayos na sya!!!

    Pero yung Desert Duelers for Rav4... maganda naman...

    Sa mga madalas ireklamo na na Desert Dueler (A/T or H/T) sa size lang ba na pang Pajero ang may prob? Kasi sa www.tirerack.com, ang ganda nung review ng Desert Dueler at least 'yong size na 235x70 R15.

    Ang tanong magkaiba ba 'yong Desert Dueler na nabibili sa US at dito sa Pilipinas?

    OT na ba to?
    Balak ko kasi Desert Dueler palit ko sa Michelin LTX na gulong ko ngayon.
