New Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain A/T002 Promises Superior Control, Extended Mileage and Enhanced Sustainability • Professional Pickup

The latest premium all-terrain tyre from Bridgestone, the Dueler All-Terrain A/T002, promises to give 4×4 and pickup drivers complete control on any terrain.

The Dueler All-Terrain A/T002 — available in 43 sizes from 15 to 19 inches — features a revolutionary hexagonal block shape and pattern architecture, says Bridgestone. This design enables superior traction and braking balance on a variety of surfaces, coupled with the unique ability to shed mud and snow quickly once back on asphalt. Using a high silica compound gives the tyre an unrivalled grip on wet surfaces, ensuring control during straight and cornering manoeuvres.

In addition to its advanced design features, the Dueler A/T002 stands out for its improved lifespan. Bridgestone has achieved a 40% increase in mileage over its predecessor through optimised contact patch, maximised footprint width, and enhanced skid depth.

The tyre comes with the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) and M+S (Mud and Snow) certification, demonstrating its full readiness for winter and compliance with winter tyre regulations across Europe.

“Drivers of 4×4 vehicles are looking for freedom and adventure, while also seeking safety and reassurance that they are ready to tackle the road ahead, no matter the weather or terrain,” commented Emilio Tiberio, chief technical and operating officer at Bridgestone EMIA. “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.”

Bridgestone used Virtual Tyre Development technology at its European R&D Centre during the A/T002’s development. This digital, sustainable approach enables in-development tyres to be created and tested virtually, significantly reducing raw material usage and CO2 emissions. It backs up Bridgestone’s E8 Commitment — a pledge to align its business with climate-friendly and sustainable practices.
