I am on Wanderes now at 52K. But I dont need a high performance, all terrain tyre. I need some thing which will hold for long and one with low noise levels. Michelin seems to be on the soft side but with fantastic performance on noise levels. |

Congrats on the Chameleon. This shade of Duster really makes the vehicle stand out in a crowd as do its capabilities. I think this is a great addition to the TeamBHP Kolkata family and wish you many brilliant journeys in this vehicle. Looking forward to the next meet to see the car in person... |

I really loved your unbiased opinion of the positives and the negatives of you car. I know how hard it is to accept the negatives of your loved baby. Great job there :thumbs up |

It most definitely will! But I probably would not mind it much, I have already sacrificed a bit of the handling and high speed manoeuvrability with the Continental AT tyres. I guess now it is rather much more fun being able to go anywhere! :D The suspension might be stiffer though, as Ironman website says body roll is well controlled; and I am more worried about sacrificing that super comfortable ride over bad roads! |

Hi, glad to read the ownership review and your travelog to Leh. I have been thinking of buying a duster AWD for a while now, how would you rate the ownership experience from getting the car serviced , cost and availability of parts etc. |

How is the Continental AT performance in tarmac? I would like to know about road noise and breaking in wet conditions. |

Wet grip on turmac is extremly average, borderlining on quite bad! In fact I often drive in AUTO mode on in slippery conditions to get better traction thanks to the ESP. And yes they do make a huge racket on the road if you are driving fast! I do not regret fitting them given the excellent grip and the peace of mind they offer off the road. Sidewalls are really tough, and even after 15K kms I do not see any significant wear of the treads (even after Manali-Leh trip). |

Thanks. I own a 85ps duster which is on stock MRF Wanderers. My usage pattern is 60% on good roads,35% on broken/potholed roads and some 5% through unpaved roads. The car will see lot of wet roads for around 6-7 months of the year. Wondering if AT tyres makes sense for the this type of usage. |
