Delinte excels in both on-road and off-road performance, and manufactures tires for a range of vehicles, such as passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, performance cars, and light trucks.

    The Delinte DX-12 Bandit R/T is a rugged-terrain tire designed for use on light trucks and offers drives enhanced traction and durability. In this Delinte DX-12 Bandit R/T review, we will take a look at some of the features and benefits of the tire, its pros and cons, and SimpleTire’s views on the tire.

    Features and Benefits

    Rugged-terrain tires are essentially all-terrain tires with special tread patterns and rubber compounds designed for use on hard and loose surfaces such as rock, gravel, loose dirt, sand, etc. while also featuring an optimized design for a quieter ride on paved roads. These tires are generally installed on light trucks and are built with robust internal structures.

    The DX-12 Bandit R/T features a specialized tread pattern, dual sidewall design, and three layers of polyester cord fabric for enhanced performance. Here are some noteworthy features and benefits of the tire.

    • Enhanced performance: The tread is designed to deliver great performance on challenging terrains such as mud and other off-road terrains.
    • Improved durability: The 3-ply puncture guard and angled high-strength steel belts protect the tire from rocks and sharp debris.
    • Hybrid use: The hybrid tread design ensures comfort on both highways and off-road terrains.
    • Attractive design: The dual sidewall design allows the driver to pick from two unique sidewall designs.

    The Delinte DX-12 Bandit R/T is available in different tire sizes ranging from 16 to 24 inches.

    PROS:

    • Great on-road and off-road performance.
    • Robust design for protection against accidental damage
    • Attractive sidewall designs to choose from.

    While these pros make a good case for the Delinte DX-12 Bandit R/T, also consider these cons.

The tire has a good SimpleScore of 7.6 out of 10, with solid durability (7.9), longevity (7.6), and traction (7.5) scores. It is an affordable tire best suited for older pickups and light trucks.

    These tires were great until they were not. Tread bulged out on 1 after maybe 10 thousand miles. Replaced it out of pocket because there isn't a warranty now another one is bulging out. I don't haul anything heavier than a 17ft bumper pull camper. I'm done with delinte tires.

    Shit tires. Bad vibration running dx12s so went to dx9s all terains. Put on a 3.5" lift , new cvs , new wheel hubs , new sway bar links , tie rod ends . , upper control arms and ball joints and lower ball joints , new rear leaf springs mounted and balanced on brand new wheels . Since I pulled out of the alligment shop I noticed it took it back they rechecked everything. Same issue, went ahead took it to another family friend owned shop. And he put a set of 35s nitto trail grapplers on and it rode night and day difference smooth as could be, mount my dx9s back on, rough as can be. Low quality tire brand . I will spend the extra 200 per tire next time and save me money in and out of alliment shops. Stay away from.

    I do NOT recommend these tires . I have inflated these tires to the recommended pressure and have had belts snap on two occasions.

    These delinte dx12 tires are great so far! So much smoother and more quieter than the mud terrain tires I had before. Easy smooth transaction with simple tire. Thank you
