Way too many models. Some duellers suck, others are great. Blizzaks are really great. Which model tire exactly? I prefer Michelin for a highway tire...
Playsinsnow said:Which duellers do they have? Around here, costco&sams club are not cheaper for the tires I wanted. I have a better time haggling a moderate to high priced tire at the national chains... I suppose if I can shop for 3 mo.s worth of groceries, eat lunch, and get new tires? Some will pay extra for that convenience.
Mark20 said:Thanks for pointing out this info. I'm also looking at the Firestone Destination LE2 which got a recommendation in another tread. They are scoring high here. Most of my driving is city/highway so that style tire is probably my best bet.
There are at least three plus one or two non-Duellers. I'm not seeing them score high in the TireRack charts linked above.

Just isn't aggressive enough in the thicker snow, plus it looks lame My old Firestone Destination ATs were great, had good traction, good road manners, not loud at all, and I got 65k out of them with some life left before I replaced them. With more Destination ATs, by the way.
