How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
75/100From 7 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
74/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.
The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent generally impresses users with its exceptional highway quietness, comfortable ride quality, and strong wet-weather performance that rivals standard highway tires. While most drivers praise its versatility for daily commuting, towing, and light off-roading, a minority report disappointing traction in mud and icy conditions.
Pros
- Remarkably quiet and smooth ride quality comparable to highway tires
- Fantastic traction and handling in wet conditions
- Reliable performance for daily commuting, towing, and mild off-roading (sand and gravel)
- Comfortable road manners during long cross-country trips
Cons
- Subpar performance and traction on ice
- Mud-clearing issues leading to a lack of traction in muddy environments
- Occasional wheel slip when starting from a stop on wet roads
Worth knowing
- Handled heavy-duty use well on a 3/4 ton pickup truck while towing a 7,000-pound travel trailer.
- Reported to work very well as an upgrade for full-size trucks like the 2023 GMC Sierra.
