Bridgestone Dueler H/L 33. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Hydroplaning resistance; Reduced road noise levels; Lowered road vibration levels; Precise steering responsiveness; Fuel efficiency; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Dueler H/L 33 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.The tire has great all weather traction and it grips the road extremely well in dry, wet and winter weather. The tire maintains its excellent traction in the heat of the summer months and in the colder winter temperatures as well. The hydroplaning resistance of the model is also improved, as the wide circumferential grooves eliminate water from beneath the tire footprint. The superb, year round traction allows for more versatile use of the tire, as it offers safety in all weather.The model provides a comfortable and quiet driving experience. The optimized tire profile follows the road and maintains constant contact, lowering the road vibrations felt in the cabin of the vehicle. The optimized tire footprint and the variable pitch tread pattern reduce the road noise by channeling the airwaves through the tire footprint, not allowing them to make contact with the tread elements. The decreased road vibrations and noise makes the drive more enjoyable.The tread pattern's continuous center rib improves the steering responsiveness and precision, as it keeps its constant contact with the road. As a result, the tire is quick and accurate in its response to the driver's instructions. The better steering responsiveness makes the tire easier to control, which allows the driver to confidently steer the vehicle through differing road conditions.The Dueler H/L 33's compound is silica based, which reduces the rolling resistance of the tires. The lowered rolling resistance, in turn, decreases the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the vehicle, making the tire cost- and fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
