Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations Introduces the Dueler A/T Revo 2Next generation light truck/SUV tire offers “one tire for all worlds”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 14, 2009) It's a tire line that has set the standard for toughness, durability and quiet comfort and now Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (BATO) is excited to announce the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2, the next generation all-terrain tire in the Dueler family.
“The original Dueler A/T Revo is a great tire that's provided top performance for customers for years,” said Phil Pacsi, Vice President, Consumer Marketing, U.S. & Canada Consumer Tire Sales division, BATO.
“This new generation Dueler has all the benefits of the original Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo, plus new technologies and design that make for an even better all-terrain driving experience,” Pacsi continues.
The second generation Dueler A/T Revo was developed in response to consumer demand for an all-terrain product that meets the needs of modern trucks, SUVs and CUVs. With its new sidewall design and evolved tread pattern, the Dueler A/T Revo 2 is the most versatile and aggressive tire in the Bridgestone light truck/SUV line-up. The tire's revolutionary tread design provides outstanding performance in a wide variety of driving conditions.
“The Dueler A/T Revo 2 serves both the highway driver and those who want to explore rougher terrain. The enhancements in the new tire combine to make 'one tire for all worlds,' that is quiet, comfortable and durable, both on the road and off,” Pacsi said.
Building upon the reputation and contemporary styling of the original Dueler A/T Revo, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 has been enhanced with cutting-edge technology by offering improved wet traction and rolling resistance. The passenger sizes of the A/T Revo 2 feature a Dual Layer Tread, and the light truck-metric sizes are enhanced with Bridgestone's DuraTech tread compound to resist chipping and tearing when used in demanding conditions.
Other improvements in the new generation tire include reduced road noise, made possible through optimizing the tire's tread design, and increased biting edges and other technology features to maintain snow and off-road performance.
Introduced to the marketplace in July 2009, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 is now available in 27 sizes from 15” through 20” rim diameters. P-metric sizes feature a 500 AB UTQG and 50,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. All sizes feature Bridgestone's Platinum Pact Limited Warranty and Buy and Try 30-Day Guarantee.
