The choice of tyres is perhaps one of the most important aspects owners can make for their car but often overlooked.

Bridgestone has just released the Dueler A/T 002. This is an all-terrain tyre especially designed for the growing SUV and 4WD market.

Designed for drivers that want the on road characteristics of a road based tyre. Yet has the capability to do some light off road work when the adventurous mood arrives.

The Dueler A/T 002 utilises passenger tyre construction design rather than Light Truck construction, meaning it quieter, lighter and more flexible than Bridgestone’s flagship Dueler A/T 697, which I run on my own Pajero.

This means the A/T 002 has noise, comfort and fuel economy characteristics are more like a highway terrain than an all-terrain pattern.

I recently tested the A/T 002 around the suburbs, on the highway and on an extended beach drive and was impressed with its balance.

Available now its an ideal choice for SUVs and lighter 4WD work

We have chatted a few times previously about Automotive companies charitable efforts and the idea of corporate responsibility.

This week lest chat about the partnership between Bridgestone and the Leukaemia Foundation.

The Bridgestone Blood Cancer Centre is a key part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s network of 11 accommodation centres throughout Australia located near major blood cancer treatment locations.

In addition to this centre Bridgestone is a major supporter for transport needs of patient transport through various means.

Specialised winter tyres are made slightly differently to other tyres, they have a higher level of natural rubber, different tread patterns and tiny grooves to improve traction.

If you are spending 100% of your time in the snow then they may be worthwhile.

But they don’t last as well in normal conditions, that’s why they aren’t so popular in Australia with a short snow season.

The best tyre would probably be an All Terrain tyre as they have similar qualities to winter tyres and are better for the 95% of your time spent under normal conditions.

As with all tyres there is a lot of choice even in all terrains. There are more road-based styles and others with more aggressive deeper treads and side lugs.

For my Pajero I chose Bridgestone Dueler A/T D697 LT. These are a great balance between majority road based use, some heavy duty off road work and the occasional snow trip.

They have deep tread to clear the snow with groves for better traction. They have a high rubber content and while compliant they are heavily cut and chip resistant.

Even with the best tyres though, driving in the snow can be dangerous so always be careful
