Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 265/65 R17 112S

The two-letter abbreviation in the name of the Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 off-road tire is composed of the phrase All Terrain. It means that this model is suitable for operation on any type of pavement, both in summer and in winter. The versatility of application is ensured by a number of design features, most of which are the result of using three-dimensional modeling technologies in the development of this tire. In addition, it is impossible not to note the use in this tire of materials that are "indifferent" to continuously changing environmental conditions.

Central rib of trapezoidal blocks

One of the distinctive features of the design of the tread of this tire is the composite structure of its central rib. It contains a large number of small blocks that have a trapezoidal shape and are arranged parallel to the direction of movement. This allows the central rib to be a multifunctional element that improves several operational properties at once. First of all, this is the directional stability at high speed, fuel efficiency. At the same time, the Japanese tire makers managed to avoid deterioration of other characteristics, since the blocks that make up the rib form many edges of adhesion when moving.

Open design and large shoulder areas

In turn, the shoulder areas of the tread are characterized by an open design and large dimensions. Each of them contains two rows of wide blocks of complex polygonal shape. At the same time, they are arranged in such a way that when moving, they form a multitude of transverse rows with very long edges of adhesion. This gives the tire excellent traction characteristics, which remain so even off-road due to the large distance between the blocks.

Main features of Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693

- reinforced construction of sidewalls and carcass gives the tire excellent reliability off-road;
- small trapezoidal blocks forming a longitudinal rib in the center during movement improve directional stability, maneuverability and fuel efficiency;
- excellent traction characteristics are provided due to the open design of the shoulder areas, where the blocks form a multitude of transverse rows.
