Dueler H/P Sport On New Mazda CX-7

The Mazda CX-7, available in the UK from this month, boasts the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport tyre as original equipment. The Dueler H/P Sport is Bridgestone’s first SUV tyre derived from Formula One technology and was designed to bring driving agility and comfort to the increasing number of powerful SUVs on the roads today. According to the company, it gives drivers the best of both worlds by offering excellent wet and dry handling, sharp steering precision and an aggressive edge design that gives the tyre a sporty look while ensuring a comfortable ride with low noise levels.

The Mazda CX-7 is heavily orientated towards a sports car in its styling and driving dynamics, but retains the commanding road presence of a sports utility vehicle. There is ample space for five occupants to travel in comfort, with sports utility-style rear-seat functionality and generous boot space – making it ultra-practical.

The 2.3litre petrol engine generates 260ps and 380Nm of torque, and top speed is 130mph. Standard equipment includes leather seats, 18” alloy wheels, cruise control, xenon headlamps and a bespoke BOSE premium audio system. The Dueler H/P Sport is exclusively on the Mazda CX-7 in a size 235/60 R18.
