Bridgestone launches Dueler All-Terrain A/T002

Bridgestone has launched the Dueler All-Terrain A/T002, a new all-terrain tyre said to be designed to enable drivers to handle off-road challenges while keeping them on track on their on-road journeys.

Developed and manufactured in Europe, the new Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain A/T002 is available in 43 sizes ranging from 15 to 19 inches.

Bridgestone says the new tyre features an aggressive design for better adaptation and reaction over different types of terrains.

Notably, its innovative hexagonal block shape and pattern architecture provides excellent traction and braking balance on different surfaces, as well as the capacity to grasp mud and snow while keeping the tyre clean when back on asphalt, according to Bridgestone.

The tyre maker also claims that thanks to the high silica compound, the Dueler All-Terrain A/T002 boasts excellent wet and dry grip for the ultimate control in both straight and cornering manoeuvres.

The tyre is also certified with 3PMSF and M+S markings, making it fully winter-ready and compliant with winter tyre legislation.

Compared to its predecessor, the Dueler All-Terrain A/T002 is said by Bridgestone to offer 40 per cent better mileage, made possible by its maximised footprint width, optimised contact patch and increased skid depth.

“With the new Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain A/T002, we offer all 4×4 drivers – regardless of whether they are looking for adventure, or simply using their vehicle for their daily work – the confidence and control they need to push their vehicles to their full potential in tackling both on- and off-road conditions,” said Emilio Tiberio, chief technical officer and chief operating officer at Bridgestone EMIA.
