‘No two 4×4 enthusiasts are the same’ – Bridgestone’s Brett Emerson

Bridgestone

With the manufacturer’s latest Dueler all-terrain tyre coming into the market in 2023, Bridgestone’s consumer sales director Brett Emerson has given some insight into how Bridgestone is developing its 4×4 tyre range with consumers and the wide variety of application mixes within this segment. Starting from the point of view that “no two 4×4 enthusiasts are the same,” Emerson explains the importance of “factoring in how much all-terrain driving” drivers will do and “how much is mud related.” The manufacturer, alongside the First Stop retail network, wants to help fit the tyre with the right performance characteristics to customers’ vehicles, Emerson continues.

SUV tyres – Auto Bild Allrad highly recommends 4 products

In the preamble to its 2023 winter tyre test, SUV and 4×4 specialist publication Auto Bild Allrad argues that tyres play an even more important role than all-wheel drive when piloting a vehicle in wintry conditions. While employing four driving wheels instead of two undoubtedly improves traction, this only represents one aspect of vehicle safety – when it comes to braking and negotiating curves, tyres are decisive.

AutoBild Allrad recommends 4 ‘exemplary’ all-season SUV tyres

AutoBild Allrad

AutoBild Allrad’s 2023 test of 10 all-season SUV tyres gave four tyres the top “exemplary” grade, with two joint-winners. In Germany, all-season tyres have grown with the most recent product generations’ improved technology, despite the traditional strength of its seasonal tyre change market. The magazine, one of Germany’s leading consumer automotive publications, said the top-ranking tyres in its latest test have “matured into true heroes of road traffic.” At the other end of the scale, three of the size 235/65 R17 108 V/W tyres were described as “not recommended”, while three other tyres gained “satisfactory” and “good” final verdicts. So which all-season products could AutoBild Allrad “unreservedly recommend” to motorists?

Pirelli recreates Scorpion BK for Lamborghini LM002 in Collezione range

Pirelli

Pirelli is expanding its Collezione range of vintage tyres with the Scorpion BK for the 1986 Lamborghini LM002. The tyre’s size and strength put it at the cutting edge of tyre technology when it was introduced, while its distinctive “ears” helped the tyre stand out further: lateral winglets that allowed the tyre to float across the desert sands. Recreated as part of the Pirelli Collezione range dedicated to historical cars, the tyre was shown at FouriConcorso: an event for the collectors’ cars near Lake Como. Pirelli has supplied tyres to Lamborghini’s SUV range from 1963, through the LM002, to the modern Urus.
