Busting The Myths on Mud Tyres
There are a lot of myths out there surrounding mud terrain tyres. 4WD Action take the Bridgestone Dueler M/T 674 tyre to the outback and bust some myths about on road performance, tread wear rate and muddy tyre traction.

The unique tread of the Bridgestone Dueler M/T 674 allows mud to be cleaned out very effectively yet give great stability off-road and even wear across the tread pattern.
This might have been the case 20 or 30 years ago but today, technologies have come a long way and some manufacturers can design their off-road tyre for capability and long-life. The Bridgestone Dueler M/T 674 has been redesigned tyre footprint and advanced tread compound meaning more even wear and a longer life. Additionally, air pressures have a huge impact on life and wear of your tyre so be sure to reinflate your tyre when going back on-road.

This results in a tyre that’s highly efficient at self-cleaning which allows the tread to maintain grip.

Incorporating revolutionary 3D technology to offer superior durability and off road performance, it provides maximum traction and control.1
