Maltese Falcon Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hello all. Just wondering if anyone could help me. I have just bought a daihatsu terios 1999 model solely to go shooting in and a bit of green laneing, however it has dueller tyres on which to me don't look like that they could be any good in mud etc, although i haven't tried it yet, not till thursday as i shuold be going pigeon shooting. Any Terios users on here? What tyres should i go for, as i said before i do not intend to conquer mountains. Regards Maltese Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I use the wife's 2002 Terios complete with original **** "Dueller" tyres(still 3-4mm @37k) & frankly I have been surprised by how it has managed to cope with both snow & mud.I did think about better tyres but up to now never been stuck:just hit electronic centre difflock & away you go.Pity interior is so small especially width.

Regards Maltese Falcon To be honest I would wait until you need new tyres as we have summer on the way, then go for a set of "AT" tyres. BF Goodrich are brilliant but expensive, however that said they last for ever which makes them competitive in the long run. I suspect the duellers will struggle for green laning in anything but good conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next winter i will look at fitting some decent AT tyres. Regards maltesefalcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the info. Yes the terios is very narrow but with rear seats down which fold flat i found that i have plenty of room for all the pigeon shooting gear that i carry plus the dog aswell, if used just for shooting i think it is perfect for what i need it as it will save me carrying all the gear to the spot i want to setup in.
