The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent shared third place in Tire Rack's snow ranking, but no tire matched its measured grip across snow and ice. For a driver who wants the all-terrain that grips best in winter, this 3PMSF on-road all-terrain was the strongest all-round performer in the data.
The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent Enlighten is the tire for the driver who spends the vast majority of their time on tarmac and needs mild off-road capability without sacrificing on-road refinement. Its comfort and noise levels are the best of the three by a clear margin, and the Tire Rack data suggests strong wet and snow grip - particularly in the standard-load variant. The softer steering and reduced body control are the price of that comfort, but for the average truck or SUV owner covering 90% of their miles on paved roads, those trade-offs are unlikely to matter. This is a tire that will appeal to a very broad audience.
The Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent finished fourth overall. It is one of the strongest tires here for snow handling and wet braking, but its dry handling holds it back.
