There’s a new player in the all-terrain tire world. It’s called the Dueler A/T Ascent and it’s from Bridgestone. It’s the first all-terrain tire the company produces that utilizes its ENLITEN Technology. This technology helps optimize the tire’s all-terrain performance, provides longer wear life, and ensures maximum performance throughout the tire’s life. The company says the tire accomplishes these goals without compromising capability. Let’s look at how it achieves that.
35 Fitments For 17- To 22-Inch Wheel Diameters
The new Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent tire is currently available in 35 available fitments. The company says the premium tire fits high rim diameter luxury and top-trim four-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs with wheel sizes between 17 and 22 inches. The Dueler A/T Ascent has an aggressive new tread pattern with full-depth features to guarantee optimal performance throughout the tire’s lifespan. The tread pattern includes stone rejecters, widened tread slots, and notches specifically tuned to minimize noise and resist chip tear. Extending into the sidewall, the aggressive tread pattern features a square shoulder, a deep buttress design, and noise-treated side lugs.
3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Certification And 60,000-Mile Limited Warranty
The Dueler A/T Ascent tire seamlessly transitions between superior on-road performance and robust off-road capability. It features sawtooth edges that provide traction to navigate rugged terrain. Conversely, the tire’s entire tread pattern is engineered to minimize vibrations and noise, thereby enhancing the smooth and comfortable on-road ride of premium SUVs and trucks. Additionally, the tire is designed to offer long life, even when used both on- and off-road. The Dueler A/T Ascent resists irregular wear and includes a 60,000-mile limited warranty. Furthermore, Bridgestone’s full-depth 3D sipe technology provides biting edges and tread stability to handle wet and wintry roads. Consequently, the Dueler A/T Ascent tire quickly evacuates water and slush from the tread, thereby ensuring confident contact and control. Finally, it holds the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, which guarantees superior winter traction.
Built For Comfort During The Daily Commute And For Tackling Trails On The Weekend
Jeremy Norwood, Chief Engineer, Consumer Replacement Product Engineering, sums up the new Dueler A/T Ascent all-terrain. “Our mission with Ascent was to develop a luxury truck tire that could tackle the trails on the weekends without sacrificing the comfort of the daily commute. As our first A/T tire to integrate ENLITEN Technology, we’ve developed a tire with excellent wet, winter and off-road performance paired with impressive wear resistance.”
