Stock Tires

[JJG]

My 4x2 Lariat came with Bridgestone HT 18” tires, which surprised me since I thought Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone parted ways after the tread separation scandal years ago. Anyway, as with what came on my 2000 Ranger, these tires ride like you're on 2x4’s and track like crap. I will be replacing with Michelins as I did with my 2000 to solve these issues.

Zero issues with the Dueler AT that came on my 4x4.

Wet/dry traction is as expected.

Will be snowing in a month or so, so will be able to see how they do in the snow.

Will also be off foading Saturday. Curious on how they will do.

I'd like to dump the Duelers and move up one size to a 265/65/18 set of Michelin Defender LTX.

Well, the dualers performed great off road
Mud, rocks, sand. No issues at all

Only lost traction once while backing up a rather nasty trail. Turned on the rear locker, and no issue.

I was rather impressed with the stock tires off road. Was following 2 wranglers with BFG's and had zero issues.

I won’t buy them but overall I’m happy with the duelers. Off-road they performed great

Liking the duelers so far. Last test will be snow.....which is coming all too soon. Nasty winters here in the NE Ohio snow belt.

If they pass the winter test, I will have zero issues replacing with the same when the time comes.

Pleasantly surprised with these tires.
