265 Duelers

Well I bit the bullet yesterday and picked up a set of Duelers in 265/70/16. With the driving we do going back and forth to the in-laws, we needed something a little more highway-friendly than the MTR's, in mileage, wear, and noise.

Firestone price matched Tire Rack too, which I was pretty happy with.

So now I have a big stack of MTR's in the garage, waiting to link up with some black rock crawlers. Time to start shopping.

Tom,

You will be really happy with the Dueler's.

The difference between the MTR's on the highway will be silence for quality time with the spouse on the ride to the out-laws.

<reference to old thread> Woodbert, did your Revo's come over the pond yet? </reference to old thread>

Did they really ship them to US then back?

Steel exhaust and got a noticeable improvement in power and acceleration on my 3.4L V-6 5 VZ-FE engine.
3.4 on a 2003?

Yep, they sure did. It took them about a month to get here. I got them from Tire Rack because here they wanted over $200 per tire. I still got them cheaper after shipping and mounting than if I bought them here.

Yep. V8 is only available in the LC, but they do have a turbo disel available. If the dollar wasn't so weak right now, I'd try and get a TD. I guess the new V6 wasn't ready for the JDM.

BTW- I also had to get the factory hitch assembly shipped from here back to the states so they could ship it to me here.
