Tires

anyone running Bridgestone duller at ascent tires? how do you like them?

 

OEM TRD Sport and OEM Limited come with the Bridgestone Duelers.
They are pretty nice highway tires, do pretty good in the rain, and last a pretty good while. Most people are getting 60,000+ miles out of them if you are not super hard on them.

My personal opinion is that their sidewall is a bit stiffer than some aftermarket tires. Few people complain that they ride rough, and i'll somewhat agree. They feel more like a LoadRange E tire, the sidewall feels quite stiff for a tire that is a StandardLoad.

 

You can learn a lot about sidewall/tire carcass stiffness from maximun pressure ratings molded onto tire.
My XL Pirelli Scorpion AT+ have max pressure of 44 psi.
This is at the pressure rating between LT tires C/D. A noticably stiffer tire than the stock Dueller All Season and Grandtrek All Season SL tires.
I found this graph educational.

 

thanks for the info

 

my personal opinion is that the General Grabber ATX is the best all around tire that will do practically anything. They have dedicated highway tires too if you’re looking at strictly a highway good fuel mileage tire.
