Originally got these just for the summer. They are 285-60-18 and replace my 265-70-17 winter tires. I put a couple of coats of wheel wax on the 18" and have used them so far without any salt damage. I'm quite surprised to take off in the snow in 2WD and not have the issues I had with the BF Goodrich All Terrain tires. I would usually shift to 4WD to fix the starting issue. About the only other thing that I see besides tread pattern is the Bridgestone tire is softer with a rating of 300 where as the BFG is 500 and they have poor wet/dry traction characteristics. Opinions?

I have them (RFT's) on our X5 and I am very satisfied with them. We got 52k out of the original set (OEM) and replaced them with the same. Great traction and IMO, a very smooth, quiet ride.
Contrary to BMW's recommendations, I rotate them every 5500 miles.

I love the ride they give and I found them by mistake. I was going to get the BFG KDW but they discontinued the one I wanted. I get a reminder to rotate from Discount Tire.

We have the Dueler's on the 10 Armada. Not a lot of affordable choices in 20" but these have worked out great. Original OEM was a Michelin that barely made 34k. The Duelers have nearly 40k on them and showing good tread left (probably another 12-15k). Good in snow, really good in rain, and good on dry pavement with low noise. Will be buying these again for this truck.
Have them on my half-ton Silverado. No complaints at all - traction, wear, noise and ride are all very good.
