Sorry I know there are lots of tire threads and I've read them but this is specific.
I emailed our shop and asked them to put some Nokian WRG3's on our LR4.
I picked it up after hours and noticed they put Bridgestone Duelers on instead. I just contacted the owner and he is looking at his confirmed order for the Nokians so is contacting their warehouse rep to see what happened. He thinks they might have been out of stock of the Nokians and just sent these.
He said he can absolutely get the Nokians and switch them out for me, or we can keep the Bridgestones. The owner is great and feels bad for the mixup, I'm not upset but want to get the best tires for our family.
But I'm curious if anyone feels strongly against the Duelers for northeast weather and snow. We want an all weather/season tire that won't burn up in the summer but will perform in the winter.
I did a search on here and see plenty of people have both tires and seem happy with them. I see the bridgestones have a much longer warranty than the Nokians.
As a side note; we are coming from the stock Contis and my wife was sliding around on about seven snowflakes so either option would be a serious upgrade.
