These tires were noisier as compared to the Destination. However, some vibrations were felt on hitting larger pits. Whereas Dueler A/T features a 2-ply construction which plays its role to make the ride even and smooth over rough patches. Apart from this, its 5-degree noise reduction feature creates noise-canceling sound waves to notably reduce noise production. The deployment of the 0-bead pattern brings about a comfortable ride as compared to Dueler. Which tire bring in more Comfort?ĭealing with the subject of comfort, it’s pretty evident that Destination A/T is ahead of Dueler A/T. Destination, however, is also 3MPSF rated.ĭueler A/T gives a better overall off-road performance than Destination A/T and the credit goes to its tread design as explained above along with its traction claw technology which gives supplementary grip in various terrains. When it comes to snow, Dueler is better in terms of shallow snow and ice due to its large amount of biting edges whereas Destination is the better option when it comes to slightly deeper snow. However, when it comes to mud traction, Destination has better mud performance because of wider groves within the shoulders. In terms of rough and rugged terrain, Dueler takes the lead with its wider grooves that allows it to grapple better on even surfaces, making it the safer option. Off-road performance can be divided into rough terrain, mud terrain, and snow terrain performance. Dueler has wide circumferential grooves on the tires so water fills up those gaps in the tires and ultimately provides more wet traction along better with immunity against hydroplaning. On the other hand, Destination A/T has narrower grooves as compared to Dueler A/T so hydroplaning resistance of this tire is not that reliable. However, Revo 3 has wider grooves and more siping, all of these features attribute to good enough hydroplane resistance for an A/T tire. The aquaplane resistance of both the tire is more or less the same, Destination features four zigzag circumferential grooves and fewer voids as compared to Dueler. In terms of on-road traction, Destination has the lead due to its lesser aggressive tread and narrower grooves as compared to Dueler, this leads to increased contact patch which in turn provides better dry road traction, handling, and cornering ability. Dueler is the obvious choice for you if you intend to spend more of your time under off-road conditions and do not care much about comfort and on-road performance. In terms of looks, we think Dueler offers you a more exciting look with the peculiar tread design separated by tire bars whereas Destination offers a pretty generic design. The major drawback found in this tire is its tread, making this tire not suitable for heavy mud or snow. Even though Dueler features greater biting edges, Firestone has the lead in terms of snow performance as the smaller tread blocks dig into the snow for better grip and handling.Ĭomfort and noise reduction are also better in Destination as narrower grooves maintain the road contact. However, Dueler has better off-road handling as compared to Destination. Revo 3 provides better rock climbing and rough terrain performance, however, Firestone has better mud traction as the shoulders have wider grooves which promote better evacuation of mud as compared to closely packed shoulders in Dueler.ĭueler features staggered shoulders which will lead to less cornering abilities than Destination whereas Destination has a greater contact patch as compared to Dueler which leads to better handling on road. When it comes to off-road performance, we conclude that Revo 3 takes the lead with its more aggressive design, wider grooves, tire bars, and staggered shoulders. Wet performance, however, will be more or less the same as both Dueler and Destination have a large number of biting edges. In terms of on-road traction, Destination would have better performance in dry terrain due to less grooves width which attribute to greater contact patch with the road, it also ensures better handling and cornering on dry roads.
