Ok, so I have had the Duelers for about a week now with mixed city/highway driving. Keep in mind it's hard to compare tires that are worn vs. brand new ones as the it's not apples to apples (like when you go from old running shoes to new). I had no issues in the Dunlops and got 22K miles out of them and could have gotten a few thousand more. I did notice a little smoother ride with the Duelers and grip on turns is pretty close to the Dunlops. Obviously, this makes sense since the Dunlops are a softer compound and more aggressive tread pattern. So, all in all, the Duelers seem like a very good compromise between handling, smoothness and durability (have a higher treadwear rating than the Dunlops so I expect to get 35K miles out of them).
