It has wide grooves which make the blocks and shoulders more segregated a better fit for mud and deep water. Off-Road Traction ComparisonĪs mentioned above, Dueler is more suitable for off-road travelling as compared to AT3, mainly due to its aggressive pattern and staggered shoulder design which helps it to grip on rough and rocky surfaces.
Furthermore, AT3 is made up of a high silica tread compound which helps increase traction and grip on wet roads. However, its on-road road performance is not so terrible either, it has extensive siping as well which means it can hold its own in wet conditions if need be whereas the open shoulder blocks promote quick evacuation of water for aquaplane resistance.īoth tires have a staggered shoulder design which means that neither of them provide exceptional on-road handling and cornering, however, of the two, AT3 slightly outperforms Dueler because of its 5 rib tread design. Dueler On Road Tractionĭueler, on the other hand, has wider and deeper tread grooves which makes it a better fit for off-road performance.

The optimized and serrated shoulder design helps boost performance on dry roads while also enhancing dry handling and cornering since it has a greater contact patch with the asphalt. Of the two, AT3 provides better on-road traction because the tread is more uniform, the grooves are narrower, whereas the zig-zag siping pattern within the shoulders offer better wet traction and hydroplane resistance as compared to Dueler. Bridgestone Dueler AT Tread Pattern On-Road Traction Comparison Dueler again with its more aggressive shoulder pattern would not be able to perform well on wet roads, but the tire would do great off road wet terrains with its aggressive pattern giving digging capabilities on mud and snow. That’s why this tire would better fit the rough off road terrain.Īnd Second, the siping seen on the shoulder blocks of Cooper tire brings in better on road handling performance when it comes to wet asphalts. On the other hand the Dueler with its stairs like pattern would not grip the plain surface properly. This tell us two things:įirst, the more uniform pattern on the AT3 provides a better handling performance “on-road” than the other tire because the plain tread pattern on the shoulders (where all the vehicle weight comes on while cornering) gets better contact with the road. Dueler has a more aggressive tread pattern which gives it superior off road traction.Ĭonsidering the shoulders on both of these tires, it can be seen that both of them have staggered blocks where Cooper AT3 has uniform voids and zig zag siping on those blocks and Dueler has steps like aggressive pattern on every consecutive block.
