Since I now reside outside of the city, I needed to purchase a vehicle (Land Rover Defender) and tires that could handle light off-roading. I decided on the Dueler 001 after reading the testimonials. According to reviews, these tires are excellent: they are peaceful on the road and easy to manage in the dirt, even when encountering enormous potholes. Since the manufacturer recommends using it in temps above freezing, I expect to ride until at least October. I pray it holds out for at least another year or two.
