The Dueler A/T Ascent is Bridgestone's On-Road All-Terrain tire developed for the drivers of pickup trucks, Jeeps, crossovers and SUVs looking for enhanced off-road traction when they need it without sacrificing on-road comfort when they don't. The Dueler A/T Ascent is designed to drive comfortably on the highway, provide sure-footed grip when the road ends and deliver confident performance in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including light snow capability that meets the tire industry's severe snow service rating requirements and is sufficient to earn the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

The resilient all-season, all-terrain compound of the Dueler A/T Ascent is molded into a balanced, symmetric pattern. Featuring Bridgestone's ENLITEN technology, it has been designed from the onset to create a longer lasting tire that resists irregular wear. Broad shoulders and an optimized tread block arrangement deliver confident highway tracking. Alternating scalloped shoulders provide an aggressive look and offer strong functional traction when driving on gravel, dirt, and other loose surfaces. Wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots help channel water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. Full-Depth 3D Sipes create the biting edges needed for grip on packed snow or other low-friction surfaces.

The robust construction of the Dueler A/T Ascent includes a two-ply, polyester casing beneath two wide, high-strength steel belts that support and stabilize the tread. A nylon reinforcement ply aids handling response while also increasing durability and providing high-speed capability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

...Wet road traction is pretty good, but need to slow acceleration when at a stop, but I also keep in mind that I have an empty bed pickup, so not a lot of weight over the rear axle...

Excellent dry road traction and good treadwear so far. Wet road traction is pretty good, but need to slow acceleration when at a stop, but I also keep in mind that I have an empty bed pickup, so not a lot of weight over the rear axle. They look good on the truck with the raised white outline lettering. Would buy these again if the price was right.

...Recently got them out in 16"+ inches of snow. OUTSTANDING...

Love the tires performance on highway and spring/summer/fall conditions. I have had them off road hunting, handles well in deep mud and wet surfaces. Recently got them out in 16"+ inches of snow. OUTSTANDING. These are my third set of tires and easily outperform BFgoodrich AT's and Toyo Open Country AT II's. I will be upgrading my other two vehicles to these tires as well.

...They had 0 issue all through hunting season driving through almost 2 feet of snow at times with one of the worst winters so far in NW PA...

I needed a replacement for my F150 after sliding all over with the Wranglers that I previously had. After watching a couple videos on TireRack and reading many many reviews I bought these Brigestones. They had 0 issue all through hunting season driving through almost 2 feet of snow at times with one of the worst winters so far in NW PA. I can't say much about wear but if that aspect is as good as the rest of my experience, I will buy these tires again with no questions asked.

...I've taken these into dirt and wet conditions where the stock tires would have slipped, and the Ascents just grip...

I wanted to love the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent. On paper, it is the "Goldilocks" tire I’ve been looking for: a 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating for Idaho winters, aggressive "Cobra" sidewall looks, and marketing that claims it matches the Michelin Defender LTX for highway comfort.

The Good: The engineering here is undeniably impressive.

Ride Quality: These are remarkably smooth. They absorb pot-holes and washboard gravel significantly better than the stock tires. There is zero vibration and the steering feel is excellent—direct and planted.

Performance: I've taken these into dirt and wet conditions where the stock tires would have slipped, and the Ascents just grip. The 3PMSF rating isn't just a sticker; the compound stays pliable in the cold, and the siping eats up wet roads. If you need one tire to handle an unplowed commute and a summer road trip, the capability is definitely there.

The Bad (and the Irony): Here is the deal-breaker for the "silent tire" crowd. Everyone claims this is the quietest All-Terrain tire on the market, or even a "hybrid" highway tire. It is not.

I came from the factory Goodyear Wrangler Territory ATs, which are admittedly mild, but they were nearly silent. I expected the Ascents—with their fancy noise-canceling tread pitch and "Enliten" technology—to match that. They don't.

The Noise: There is a distinct, audible hum at highway speeds (55-75 mph). It isn't the aggressive roar of a Mud Terrain, but it is a constant background drone that simply wasn't there with the stock Goodyears.

The Verdict: If you are coming from aggressive tires like KO2s or Wildpeaks, the Ascent will sound whisper-quiet to you. But if you are coming from factory H/T or mild A/T tires (like the Territorys) and you are chasing pure silence, you will be disappointed. These are fantastic performers, but don't believe the hype that they are "silent." You are definitely paying a noise tax for that cool sidewall and snow rating.

...These Duelers are absolutely what I was looking for in terms of comfort and noise, immediate day and night difference... I didn't realize until I got these Duelers that the steering and comfort were also not very good...

Mostly city/highway driving - Switching from the BF Goodrich AT KO2 (29k miles) that are very load on the pavement. These Duelers are absolutely what I was looking for in terms of comfort and noise, immediate day and night difference. Steering control/responsiveness is amazing, as well as wet road grip. I love the looks of the KO2 but couldn't take the road noise anymore. I didn't realize until I got these Duelers that the steering and comfort were also not very good. Took some time to decide because I also wanted a sharp looking tire, (which the KO2 has) and I wasn't sure if these would show up in the looks category. My desire for a quite ride and comfort won out and to my very pleasant surprise, these tires also look amazing and still give my Trail Boss a sporty and rugged look. Deep treads for the occasional off road/gravel/dirt driving. I wish they let you post customer photos to show how they look.
Still early but extremely satisfied. I have also had good success with the different size on-road Duelers for my older 4Runner.

...These tires only last about 50,000 miles on my truck but they preform like new until the end...

I’ve driven over 40,000 miles annually over the last ten years going through three new F250 4x4’s. I tried every top tier tire twice. Even though I’m a diehard Michelin Man, on my work truck the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent is the best tire for my taste.
These Bridgestone tires are the most quiet tire out of the group and they are the best at soaking up bumps. The downside to this is the steering response for drivers who even notice if they’re driving such a heavy truck and carrying any kind of weight.
In the wet traction department, especially in downpours,3 the Bridgestone tires are also the best by far due to the extra thread depth and amount of water channels they’ve molded in. I’ve had some other top tier tires last 75,000 miles but the hydroplaning danger on the last 25,000 miles is not for me. These tires only last about 50,000 miles on my truck but they preform like new until the end. The other top tier tires have some advantages in other departments but not where I’m most concerned.

Much better than the stock Honda tires. I would consider these over the 265/60R-18 Kumho Road Venture AT52 SL I bought for the Wife's car. Much more confidence in the lake effect snow belt. After 12,000 miles, lots of remaining tread. No flat spots after sitting for a while. Kumhos feel like they develop flat spots after a few days of sitting.
