The Dueler Range
Whether you’re tackling the harshest 4WD terrain or hitting the highway in a luxury SUV, there’s a hard working Dueler tyre for you.
Bridgestone has a Dueler tyre in the range for every type of terrain. They are chosen as original equipment on some of the toughest 4x4s & luxurious SUVs.
The science of Dueler tyres
Bridgestone Dueler has been developed for the toughest day-to-day applications where tyre reliability is imperative.
You don’t want to be stuck with inferior tyres when the going gets tough. You want tyres you can rely on… Tyres that are engineered to resist cuts and chips. Tyres that will last longer and are tough enough to bring you back.
Dueler’s reinforced sidewall
All Dueler tyres feature a reinforced sidewall designed for the driving conditions. The all terrain’s reinforced sidewall efficiently distributes stress and resists abrasions and punctures.

Tough enough to bring you back
Dueler is puncture resistant
With heavy steel belt cords at their core, Dueler tyres deliver exceptional strength and elasticity.
There’s more uniform tread contact with the road and reduced risk of sharp objects penetrating the tyre.
Puncture test proves Dueler outperforms competitors
Extensive testing on the A/T 697 tyres has shown that compared to other popular brands the Dueler A/T 697 had the deepest distance of penetration when undergoing puncture testing.
That means it takes more to puncture these tyres than many other all-terrain tyres on the market.
Watch Dueler outperform its competitors.
*Testing was conducted as per the Tyre Strength (Breaking Energy) Test as specified in FMVSS119 (US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 119) where a cylindrical steel plunger with a hemispherical end and a diameter of 19mm is forced perpendicularly into the tread. Tyre size was LT265/75R16 mounted to a 7.5J rim and inflated to 550 kPa.
Dueler is self-cleaning
Through extensive development and design, Bridgestone Dueler Mud Terrain tyres have been developed to efficiently clear mud away from the tread.
Dueler has superior cut chip resistance
Dueler all terrain tyres have wider tread blocks that offer superior chip and cut resistance.
Tough design with Dueler
Using innovative design technology, every Dueler tyre is conceived with the ideal combination of tread design, casing shape, materials and construction.
Dueler A/T 697 tyres wear evenly
Results in extremely low on-road noise
Less noise, more stability with Dueler
The seamless connection of the jointless cap ply delivers improved tyre uniformity, meaning Dueler tyres run smoother with less road noise.
The jointless cap ply also helps Dueler tyres to hold their shape at high speeds and improves vehicle stability, tyre strength and durability.
Dueler all terrain and mud tyres are constructed with a dual compound tread for better heat durability – meaning they’re more resistant to accidental damage. The highway and sport tyres feature a silica compound for consistent, exceptional handing in the wet and dry, without compromising on wear life.
Tested for toughness
Dueler tyres are exhaustively tested in the laboratory and under harsh New Zealand driving conditions.
Superior traction & control
Dueler tyres are made to perform under trying conditions with grooves designed to dispel the elements, improving wet grip and control.
Engineered to last
The dual compound tread is durable enough to withstand a puncture from sharp objects and strong enough to minimise everyday wear.

“...Dueler showed no signs of damage... Even after a gruelling sharp-stone, ridge climb, the tyres emerged virtually unmarked.”
Australian outback 4X4 legend, Allan Whiting on the Dueler A/T 697
“...These tyres can cop a heavy beating off-road, and still get you home safely - Believe me we gave these boots a beating!”
4X4 tyre tester, Graham shares his thoughts on the Dueler M/T 674
“They’re perfect for what we do … never let us down. And their longevity's good – we got 90,000 kilometres out of one set!”
