The Goodyear Wrangler Adventure on the other side, features greater lateral gaps between its shoulders, so in this tire’s case the air particles have less overall hurdles, and they easily come in, and strikes around with greater impact, generating louder noise waves. Noise is mostly generated with the flow of air particles coming in the tread and hitting the walls.Īnd since they enter the tire from the shoulder lugs, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T with it’s continuous running outer ribs restrict a lot of that air to come in. In comparison, the Wrangler Adventure is more prone to that, with its malleable tread composition. Fuel Efficiencyįuel usage is directly proportional to rolling resistance, which is dependent on the tire’s structural weight, and tread compound.Īlthough both these tires weighs almost the same, (across all their sizes), you’d still get to see a better fuel efficiency on Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3, thanks to its stiffer tread composition.īasically with a firmer compound, its tread blocks don’t bend as much with the tire braking/cornering, so less energy gets wasted in to that, and more is directed towards rolling the tire. Moreover, the Wrangler A/T Adventure also features more (in number) siping, and have a softer compound, so slits flex in a better way when sucking water particles, compared to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3. Sipes soak up remaining water particles in their slits, and spray them out later, as the tire rolls over. It presents a slightly more open shoulder area, with wider tread voids, allowing for (larger quantity of) water to leave out in the lateral direction, (along with longitudinal).Īnd more water getting out through the grooves, mean less would be there for the sipes to wipe off. Out of both tires, the Goodyear Adventure features a more desirable wet grip, and resistance to hydroplaning. Handling gets calculated with the help of lateral G forces. Though in the handling department, both tires offer very similar results, with their equally available tread-prints from the shoulders and steering response. So naturally its grip is not as impressive. It’s central most area (which makes the most contact with the road, while rolling straight), is more voided in comparison. In comparison, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 comes with wider grooves. The tire basically allows for greater contact patch to connect with the surface, and it’s longitudinally aligned central ribs, delivers a better streamlined structure (for rolling in a straight line, on highways). Stopping distance is the direct measure of this type of grip. Having said that, out of both tires, the Goodyear Wrangler Adventure features shorter stopping distances on average (during testing). On the other side, the Goodyear Wrangler Adventure also features a very on-road oriented structure.ĭry grip and directional grip signify a tire’s ability to maintain traction on a straight path, that’s why it gets calculated through braking distances. Though these (shoulders) still have notches facing the middle lugs, and each block is staggered on itself on the outer edges. And shoulders with a even more packed up structure isn’t helping that. Though with their longitudinal alignment, less sideways evacuation occurs on this tire. These lugs have a combination of rectilinear and interlocking sipes, have saw-toothed edges on the outer edges (on both sides), and in-groove notches providing additional biters.Īnd where all of these supply this tire with off-road traction, their wider structure and placed connectors in grooves (joining lugs together longitudinally), account for above average on road grip and stability as well. Though there are a lot of stuff going on them. The tire features 2 really fat ribs in the middle, carrying a single uniquely shaped block. Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 comes with bigger lugs full of tread features in the middle, compared to its shoulders.
