Review on Bridgestone Dueler A/T 001 245/65 R17 111T summer by Stanislaw Stanislaw ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the quality is good, the price is acceptable.

I took it on Pajero 4 after the usual rain tires left over from the old owner. I do not understand people who take ordinary road tires for jeeps with a high rubber profile. On the road, I was so thrown into a rut that it was scary to approach it. And on a winter hakapelite in any track in any position, like a tram on rails. It became clear that we needed tires with an angle on the sides, and not sloping like a road tire. Duler normally keeps the track, although after 2 seasons it is no longer as clear as the new one. When you hit the pavement in a rut with water at a speed of 80-110 on the rear-wheel drive, there is tangible aquaplaning. I feel like the car is floating and the wheel lamps are blinking showing the work of the stabilization systems, but the car is going straight. I don’t know thanks to rubber or automation. The inclusion of all-wheel drive solves the problem by 80%. Off-road performance is certainly better than that of the road, but leaves much to be desired. Of course, I did not count on fantastic performance like a super toothy rubber, but I expected more. I don't drive hard off-road. Some forest roads in the country. Light dirt. Sometimes it helps to leave, only a full set of locks, although it’s not particularly stuck. For example, slippery mud on a hard surface, when the wheels deepen by 5 centimeters, forming pits, the rubber is washed out and that's it, they got up. It's in full swing. then of course blocking helps. on the sand, too. Toureg on road tires on the sand with me rode about the same. In short, without blocking, I would get stuck where I don’t really have to. But we must also take into account, of course, that my car weighs 2.5 tons. The rubber is very quiet, I can't hear it at all. Summarizing, I can say that this is the minimum rubber required for a jeep. In principle, it suits me, since I drive on asphalt 98% of the time and on light (for a jeep, of course) off-road, in general, I didn’t run behind a tractor, but I won’t buy it a second time. I'll try something else. And yet, the rubber says M + S, but you should not expect ice on it. This is pure summer

Pros
  • Quiet, keeps track
Cons
  • off-road performance is so-so. there is slight aquaplaning
