Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport Tires
Bridgestone Tires
Bridgestone was founded in Japan in 1931. Since then, it has grown to be the number one tire maker in the world. With over 100 designs in a wide range of sizes tailored for all vehicles, climates, and driving needs. Bridgestone also produces tires for the world’s largest commuter aircrafts, the Airbus A380.
Founder Shojiro Ishibashi said Bridgestone is dedicated to “serve society with superior quality.” Ferrying passengers to safe landings and takeoffs, there isn’t a more superior quality and society serving than rolling underneath an Airbus.
For a time, bridgestone was the sole tire supplier for the world’s other most prestigious race, only next to Le Mans, Formula 1.
The company has also gained extensive engineering experience, producing motor vehicle parts such as heavy truck engine mounts, air springs for trucks and trains, aluminum wheels, golf balls, even golf clubs.
Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport
Gone are the days when SUV’s and trucks are just work horses you take to your farm and haul stuff with. In the old days, having a truck is necessary because most work include farming, fishing, and making roads out of mountains and deserts. Performance was an alien concept for trucks because during weekends, you had a muscle car with a big-block V8 that snarls and scares off stray dogs.
Today, however, SUV’s and trucks pack more power than even our big block muscle cars. Animals like the Mercedes-AMG G63, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X5M exist.
And because Bridgestone vows to serve society with superior quality, the Dueler H/P Sport was born. This tire is designed to deliver predictable handling, traction, and control on dry and wet roads. Since this is a summer tire, it is not to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Dueler H/P Sport radials feature a high performance light truck tread compound molded into a symmetric tread design derived from Potenza RE050 Max Performance tires. Yes, the same tires that the Ferrari F430 came with.
The Dueler H/P Sport tread design features large shoulder and intermediate blocks flanking two continuous center ribs to provide responsive handling and stability on dry roads while wide circumferential grooves help water flow through the tire's footprint to prevent your performance SUV from hydroplaning. The structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon, along with a casing reinforced by a hard sidewall filler between polyester cord plies to help resist distortion at high speeds and while cornering. Or simply, a tire you can use to track your SUV or truck.
With the Dueler H/P Sport, you can now drive confidently in ever changing conditions.
