My wife's new car has the Bridgestone Dueler on them and my GX has Michelin Cross Terrains, the differnce is like night and day in almost every parameter. I am glad I insisted on Cross Terrains when I bought my GX.

Tires for the Lexus
Mine came with the Dunlops. I am waiting to put either Revos or BFG Rugged Trail on. Will probably be putting new tires on this fall. I actually go offroad a fair amount and need a TIRE, not a pizza cutter

Your 80k converts to 50,000 miles for your set of Duelers. I'm pretty sure I'll get more than that on my Michelins.

hey cap
guys i changed my tires coz i needed 20" wheels.. my duelers r just little over half done.. i could still use them.. infact i plan to put them on with the factory rims back in winters.. keep in mind that michelins r more comfortable n less noisy but duelers r more stiff sidewall n better tread life.

Mine originally came with Grandtrek. That one I think is the worst for this truck. I used to have vibrations at freeway speed after cold start. After repeated compains dealer replaced tires but with the same ones at 8k miles. Replacements were better but again the same vibration issue after cold start. Dealer replaced again at 15k service. This time with cross terrains. What a difference!!! I was told by master tech that there is a related TSB. Those tires develop a flat spot.

Got almost 60k out of my first set of grandtreks - just got four more. Outstanding tires. I threw everytthing at them and they never once gave me an issue. Rain, snow, off-road, beach, trailering, high speads. TSB? On tires? Didnt hear that one. Go ahead and pay twice the price for the michelins....suckers!!
