Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S (OE). FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All terrain tire; All weather traction; Puncture resistance; Comfortable drive; Vibration-free drive; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S (OE) an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.This model is the original equipment tire of select vehicles.This model offers excellent all terrain traction. The off-shoulder tread design helps the tire grip the road surface more firmly on all surface conditions. The tire's all terrain capability is enhanced this way, as it can conquer all uneven, loose or soft terrains. While most all terrain tires are not recommended for use in mud, this model can perform well. It is worth noting, however, that prolonged use on muddy terrain can become dangerous, as the mud packs up in the tread grooves, lowering the model's grip. This tire is perfect for drivers with diverse needs. It performs well in both on- and -off-road conditions as well, such as dirt or gravel paths.The tire has great all weather traction for grip in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. The tire's tread compound and design provide extra biting edges in snow and even in mud for a shorter period of time, enhancing the driving safety. As a result the tire is marked with the M+S notation, for its remarkable mud and snow traction. The tire's safety is further improved as the circumferential and lateral grooves in the tread pattern help eliminate water from below the footprint of the tire and boost its hydroplaning resistance in dangerous situations.The tire was manufactured using the L. L. Carbon, or Long Link Carbon, which on the molecular level creates a chain structure across the tire's build. The model becomes stronger as a result. Not only does it resist accidental punctures, such as cracking, chipping or tearing, but it also offers a longer lasting tread life. The tread wear rate is slowed down due to its resistance, and the L. L. Carbon distributes the driving pressure equally across the tread surface, preventing uneven wear. As the tire is forced to wear out evenly, it lasts longer and becomes more cost efficient.The Dueler A/T RH-S (OE) offers high speed uniformity and exceptional ride comfort. The CO-CS, Computer Optimized Component System, Technology uses a computer to determine the ideal combination of tread design, casing shape, materials and construction to increase the tire's performing capability and comfort levels. The tire maintains its shape at high speeds under the driving pressure which improves both the performance and safety of the tire. The tire also offers a comfortable driving experience, as it reduces the road vibrations felt in the cabin of the vehicle. The tire is safer to use and more comfortable as a result. 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.
