Bridgestone Dueler “Highly Recommended” in Comparative Test

UK publications don’t test tyres all that often, but the Germans do and Bridgestone reports its Dueler H/P Sport has received a “highly recommended” rating – the highest available in the latest test from motoring magazine Auto Zeitung. The June 2010 edition of the magazine compared eight brands of 4×4 tyre in size 255/55R18. All were fitted to a BMW X5 diesel and subject to a number of on and off-road evaluations on wet and dry surfaces.

The Dueler H/P Sport, comments Bridgestone, was judged particularly effective on-road and only tyre to receive full points in a test – for wet lateral grip on the skid pad. Remarking on the Dueler’s wet and dry on-road performance, the Auto Zeitung said it was “convincing, with balanced performance.”
