Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Excellent water evacuation; Boosted cornering and braking; Longer lasting tread life; Resistant to mechanical damage; Vibration free drive; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS is a performance and high performance, all season tire built for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes available as well.The tire has superb all weather traction and road grip, even in winter conditions, due to the high silica-enhanced compound. This innovative tread compound improves wet and winter weather traction. The circumferential and lateral grooves help eliminate water from under the tire's footprint, resisting hydroplaning and offering a safer drive. The special tread and siping design provide additional biting edges in winter weather and help increase the road grip while maneuvering.These extra biting edges, along with the computer-optimized symmetric tread pattern, also help improve and maintain the tire's exceptional performance. The tire grips the road well in all weather conditions and at all speeds. The silica-infused tread is modelled into a symmetrical design to help boost the tire's cornering, maneuvering and braking abilities in dry and wet weather conditions. The silica compound offers driving stability as well, further improving the tire's capabilities.The tire's L.L. Carbon construct enhances the tire's tread wear. This carbon construct and the equally distributed driving force prevent irregular wear and lengthen the tire's life. Furthermore, the tire is sturdier and is resistant to accidental damages, such as chipping, cracking and tearing through the special long carbon structure.The Dueler H/P Sport AS's uniformity is boosted by the continuous cable strand in the bead construction, or O-Bead structure. This offers a vibration free driving experience. 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.
