In regards to wet braking on tarmac, I feel that I've been able to compare this fairly well as we've had a ton of rain since I have had the car with plenty sitting on the road surface around my local area. I honestly cannot feel any difference between the Duelers and the K02's. Everything is behaving as exactly as expected.

Things may change as I put more miles on, but I am feeling pleased with them so far.[/quote]


Thanks jimnyfox - that's very, very helpful!

Would be interested in your experience if and when you hit standing water at speed - does your Jimny stay stable etc. (I mention this after writing-off a Subaru some years ago doing the same.)

But this sounds good.

Look forward to future updates.

Any chance of a pic of the tyre showing the ratings? I thought the k02s were all 100/97 meaning single/dual axle. Thanks!

Will this do? (Not sure if the resolution will be high enough)

thanks - yes it's too low res for me to read. Does it still say 100/97 on the sidewall? cheers

That's 100 load rating then (the 97 refers to dual axle). Bummer because it would be great if someone made 215 ATs in 96 or 97.
