Why do you think the winter tires failed and how do you think the all-season would have fared? Also comment your own experiences when winter tires failed for you!
First of all, nice video * . Now, to the point: No tire works in mud, except for Mud tires. Even the best All-Terrain tires slide way too often in mud, as their self-cleaning capability is weak. What we see here is amateurs: Some mediocre driving, some bad moves, instructions without PMRs, winter tires taken off-road (expect some punctures...), weak recovery equipment. People fooling around near a recovery is dangerous and silly, people get seriously injured every year because of this! * If your point was to set a bad example - what NOT to do, it's pretty good.
@@thepilotxproject4035 not really, mud can be found in any scenario.... its starts raining, you have mud... so what do you do, replace with mud tires in the field? ...as for the PMRs, the car have radios and for that location it was not life and death, so voice did cover. Also some drivers are noobs as per the SUVs they are driving and not 4x4 monsters, so yes its expected that they might slide. The recovery is also very easy from the risk perspective and you can't force people to listen if they relay don't want to. True its not a perfect one and has some risk, but they know about it and take their own risk... same as driving on roads.... risk everywhere.
@@DaciaDusterTrails My point exactly Sir. Noobs pulling dangerous manoeuvres around spectators, spinning in mud with open windows, destroying the dirt road with bad tire choices...
Nice video! I have 20 years experience in offroad environment and i would like to give my opinion: in slippery conditions, weight is your enemy, that's why even with mud tires the heavier offroads struggles on the hill. One pro-tip: keep on board a good air compressor, and reduce the pressure of your tires in difficult conditions. How much to air down depend on tires/rims/weight combinations, however, for the pajero i suggest about 1 bar, for the patrol 0.8-0.9 bar, for the duster, i don't know the tire size, but probably will be safe to start from 1.0-1.2 bar to avoid damaging the rims. The bigger the tires, the lower you can go. I have a pajero with 33x12.50r15 mud tires, and when offroad i air down to 0.6bar with no troubles, and the traction i get is awesome (mine is a 2.8 tdi with super select transmission, so i have also a rear diff locked by factory which helps a lot)
Hm pullin byt to tow ball that is VERY VERY dangerous. Did the blue duster not have special recovery points? Is the factory tow hook too weak ? Askin for my self because i too have duster :P
They are just lazy and the tow ball is not a ball and it is a full iron cast for the entire hook. But yes you should use proper maneuvers and not the tow hooks, on dusters it will bend towards the sides.
@@DaciaDusterTrails OK so technicaly with out any special bumpers or there is no way to put a PROPPER recovery point on duster ? Besides the towball ive seen too many videos with heads exploding with incorect towing....
@@jaroslavbrada7669 the dusters do not have two balls but full iron casted hooks, that is a huge difference often forgotten by the teachers of internet.
@@DaciaDusterTrails Hey dont get me wrong i did it few times but only to slighty tug the vehicle out of the mud. Anyways hope to see some videous about your testing duster and what mods does it have on it.
@@DaciaDusterTrails unfortunately I've seen it in other places, some ATV drivers have no care over the terrain. In this case, the road is already bad but it's getting even worse. I wonder is my stock Duster would be able to cross that area even in dry weather.
@@DaciaDusterTrails also the trenches may be the result of erosion due to heavy rain but the first cause is that the protective stratum on top is split apart by vehicles and that will make way for water to carry the loose gravel and sand underneath.
@@nolob agreed but roads always get damaged and repaired... this include the city ones.... we are not monks , also saving the planet feelings should better be used for serious pollution problems.
not exactly, it failed because of the road incline in one spot. If you drive on 95% of the road, fail in one spot and can go around that place... then you can't claim you must need MTs... also Ats did well there

An excellent video and a touching tribute. Your narrative speaks volumes. Bravo.

Dacia duster candır gerisi heyecandır 🧿🇹🇷🇹🇷
Hi, what higher profile tires would suit a duster, it's standard.?
Hm pullin byt to tow ball that is VERY VERY dangerous. Did the blue duster not have special recovery points? Is the factory tow hook too weak ? Askin for my self because i too have duster :P

...and this is how the trail roads become tranches.
not really, the trench was already there and just covered with surface mud, trucks with wood and rain make trenches

Hey Duster Trails, what is the title of music played at 14:30 - 15:30?
Not sure, records are lost after editing
This is not what we would call winter conditions in Scandinavia. The whole test is wrong from the beginning.
Do you use winter tires in Spring with snow or just move to summer?
@@DaciaDusterTrails Winter tires in winter, summer tires in summer and AT tires in such conditions.
Tocmai m-ai claxonat cu Duster-ul în popas la Ialomița 💣💣💣
Care dintre Dustere, ca sunt mai multe :)
@@DaciaDusterTrails ăla cu Iron 🔥🔥🔥. Ieri pe la 11.
it failed because NO MT or SNOW CHAINS.
