Default Re: tires advice - 33" duelers opinion please

...wpage, I also considered to grab a 33" set off eBay without sensors, and just ignore the sensor alarm..

I've got one more question for the experts around - I went off-road this afternoon once again, I was more adventurous today and when climbing somewhat steeper hill with dirt and rocks, I couldn't get through the bumps and holes - I went up in 4Lo on 1st gear (don't have rear locker though) very slowly, but on high bumps/deep holes my wheels kept spinning (at least those I could see on driver side). I'm not very experienced off-road however I used common sense and advices I came upon.. slow steady motion on slow gear etc.

I'm enclosing few images, it is not that particular spot that troubled me (I didn't take pics) - but the surface is about the same, it is in that area. You can also see the shallow treads I have on my current all terrain tires.

So -will the Duelers be ideal for this type of surface (but often steeper), or I should rather go with M/T tires that have more aggresive treads? Some sections of my current favorite off-roading area that I'd like to explore more has steep narrow paths full of rocks of all sizes, with deep holes, high bumps.

Thanks
