U.K. publications don’t test tires all that often, but the Germans do and Bridgestone reports its Dueler H/P Sport has received a “highly recommended” rating – the highest available – in the latest test from motoring magazine Auto Zeitung.
The June 2010 edition of the magazine compared eight brands of 4×4 tire in size 255/55R18. All were fitted to a BMW X5 diesel and subject to a number of on- and off-road evaluations on wet and dry surfaces.
The Dueler H/P Sport, comments Bridgestone, was judged particularly effective on-road and was the only tire to receive full points in a test – for wet lateral grip on the skid pad. Remarking on the Dueler’s wet and dry on-road performance, the Auto Zeitung said it was “convincing, with balanced performance.” (Tyres & Accessories)
