What brand is the dueler tire?
4 Answers
dueler is a series under Japan's Bridgestone, known as Dueler. Below is relevant information: 1. Japan's Bridgestone Corporation is the world's largest tire and rubber product manufacturer and one of the top three tire industry giants. With cutting-edge technology ahead of its time and a proactive, bold spirit, the company implements comprehensive quality management from development, production, sales, logistics to after-sales service. 2. The dueler Dueler brand has increasingly excelled in original equipment manufacturing (OEM). Many popular imported and joint-venture SUV models are equipped with dueler Dueler products. In the replacement market, the dueler Dueler brand has also established a strong reputation among SUV users.
The Dueler is a tire series specifically developed by Bridgestone for SUVs and pickup trucks. I first encountered it twenty years ago when I was into off-roading. Back then, friends driving Grand Cherokees mostly used these tires for rough roads. The Dueler is characterized by its exceptionally thick tread pattern and wide groove design, providing reliable traction on muddy and gravel roads. Later, I used the Dueler H/T series for city driving and found its noise reduction performance to be much better than many off-road tires. Nowadays, you can often spot the Dueler logo as the original equipment on hardcore off-road vehicles like the Prado and Patrol, as well as luxury SUVs like the Cayenne. If you're planning to upgrade your SUV tires, this series offers a comprehensive range of professional tires, from the city-oriented H/T to the all-terrain D697 and the pure off-road M/T.
Last time I helped a friend pick tires, I researched the Dueler series, which belongs to Bridgestone, one of the world's top three tire giants. This sub-brand has been specializing in the SUV market since the 1990s. All-terrain tires like the Dueler A/T001 are particularly popular among road trip enthusiasts—I've seen 70% of off-road vehicles on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway equipped with them. The tire sidewalls feature a dual-layer ply design, making them less prone to bulging on washboard roads. The rubber compound also includes silica, providing excellent water drainage during high-speed cornering in wet conditions. My friend reported about 3% better fuel efficiency compared to the original tires, though road noise on paved surfaces is slightly more noticeable—but that's typical for off-road tires.
My RAV4 came with Dueler H/T 684 as original equipment, and I didn't replace them until 50,000 kilometers. These highway tires are really comfortable for city driving, with better noise control than expected, and they filter out vibrations over speed bumps cleanly. Once I accidentally drove into a mud pit, and I was initially worried that the H/T series with less tread pattern might get stuck, but the electronic limited slip combined with the tires actually managed to scrape out. Later, during maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that the new H/P Sport has upgraded curved shoulder design for better high-speed stability. When it was time to change tires, I found that the same size was over 200 yuan cheaper than Michelin Primacy, offering good value for money.
