NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 1, 2007) – The new Bridgestone-brand Dueler A/T 695 with patented UNI-T™ technology is a tire that tackles tough road conditions without making you tough it out in the driver’s seat. Designed for pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), the all-terrain tire delivers great on-road handling and dependable wet, mud and snow traction.
“Our new Dueler tire incorporates technologies and compounds that work together to provide all the grip you’ll ever need,” said Phil Pacsi, Vice President, North American Consumer Tire Marketing, Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT). “Our engineers have made the Dueler A/T 695 ride especially smooth, quiet and comfortable so consumers have what they want and need in this new tire.”
The Bridgestone Dueler A/T 695 features a two-in-one tread block design that contributes to on-road stability and handling, a silica-based tread compound to aid wet traction, open shoulder slots to promote water evacuation and interlocking tread notches and aggressive off-shoulder tread blocks to add extra bite in the snow and mud. Meanwhile, the tire’s noise-optimized tread pattern provides a peaceful, gentle ride without sacrificing traction or treadwear.
The Bridgestone Dueler A/T 695 is now available in 21, 15- to 20-inch sizes (R, S and T speed rated), to fit most popular light trucks and SUVs.
The new Dueler tire carries a UTQG rating of 460 for treadwear, ‘A’ for traction and ‘B’ for temperature and comes with the company’s 50,000 Mile Limited Treadwear Warranty. All sizes carry the Bridgestone Platinum Pact 3-Year Replacement Limited Warranty and Buy & Try, 30-Day Guarantee.

About Bridgestone’s patented UNI-T technology:
UNI-T is an acronym for “Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology” found only in Bridgestone, Firestone and select associate brand tires. One of its core technologies is a Computer Optimized Component System, CO·CS, which uses a super computer to help determine an ideal combination of tread design, casing shape, materials and construction for a particular application. The use of L.L. Carbon (Long Link Carbon), an advanced form of carbon black, produces a stronger tire, better able to resist cracking, chipping, tearing and excessive wear.
