Just over a year ago I bought 5 Bridgestone Dueller HT tyres from another forum member (265/75/16) - 31".
It fits all Patrols that drive on 16"rims (1998 to 2004 models and the GL models from 2005 onwards).
Traction on all terrains are good. Its only downfall is that it lacks the physical strength of the mud terrain tyres. Thats why I only have 4 left!
However I do also have a few (3) older Geolanders of the same size that can serve as spares.
Since I cut the one Dueller, I have taken the other four off and replaced with muddies again.
However., if your usage of tyres does not include as many weekend trail driving on sharp rocks, then the improved fuel consumption and silence that these tyres afford you is a big plus to consider.
For the Duellers I have deliberately taken up-close pictures to show the amount of thread left. I would say at least 80%.
The 3 Geolanders (for spare) probably has about 30% left.
I bought the 5 Duellers last year for 1,500 each. I will sell the remaining four, plus any of the Geolanders (all three if you want them) for R5,000 (onco)
