Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent 265/65R18 114T All Terrain Tire

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent

OVERVIEW

The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent is an all terrain, all weather tire made for light trucks and SUVs. Bridgestone offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire promotes exceptional on- and off-road traction. The staggered tread blocks, their stiffer tread area, the deeper tread, and the upper sidewall pattern work together to improve on- and off-road grip. In other words, these tread elements enable the tire to enhance forward motion throughout the performance. These elements allow the tire to upgrade deep mud and loose dirt traction, optimizing traction. These tread elements allow the tire to improve its self-cleaning capability. The footprint eliminates mud and snow from the footprint, while actively resisting stone retention from harming the tire’s footprint.

During the tire’s on-road performance, it is able to provide great comfort levels. The tread’s siping and groove placement manage to reduce road noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin. These tread elements channel airwaves through the tire’s footprint, without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. As a result, road noise is not generated and they don’t reach the vehicle’s cabin during the tire’s performance. This results in a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

The tire promotes secure all weather traction. The ideal tread design and the durable all weather compound enhance dry, wet, and winter-weather road grip. The optimized siping pattern and the ideally placed tread elements increase road grip with additional biting edges. The compound keeps its rubber flexible in various temperatures. As a result, the tire remains pliable from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint.

The optimized tread elements and their constant contact with the driving surface upgrade controllability in all seasons. The tread design effectively increases its consistent surface contact, boosting steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire manages to provide quick and precise steering responses to the driver’s commands. It also increases structural stability by strengthening the construction. The shoulder blocks provide biting edges, which enhance its cornering and maneuvering. The result is a secure driving experience.

The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent also upgrades load durability and damage resistance. Extreme terrain tires are known for their harsh terrain applications, which require better damage resistance. The tire combines its casing, tread design, and compound blend, which significantly boosts the tire’s prevention of casing and tread damage. As a result, punctures, cuts, impact damage, and the tread’s chipping, cracking, and tearing are avoided. The construction also helps improve the tire’s load capacity.

Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
