New Bridgestone Dueler AT?

When did Bridgestone came out with these new Duelers? They're stock tires on the H3:

The tread design are the old Dueler AT 693's, but the sidewall on the spare is not like one I have ever seen (and I work for Bridgestone/Firestone).
IMO, they are probably just a special set made up for the "trade show" H3's.

BTW- I parked next to one yesterday and it had KO's on it.

yup i used t owork for bridgestone... that tread pattern is the old venerable 693... dont know whats going on with the sidewall... that sidewall on the spare looks more like a goodyear mt/r if you ask me....

It can't be far off. I just saw an H3 ad in a mag with those same tires.

well, then they are some prototype tires on there used for show purposes....

also if you want to get nitpicky... there was supposed to be a hummer T that was a pickup truck... it had NIKE tires on it.... this concept vehicle was in magazines had stories on it was slated for production and never happened.....

Inline easier to work on if done right.
3.5L inline 5 = good torque that starts early
Provides enough power to get the job done, with no excess, and that will probably be the buying trend if gas prices do not come down much.

well the h3 is fairly small vehicle, well at least compared to the h2 and especially compared to a Humvee....Its ABOUT the size of a 4runner, its a little shorter, a little taller and about 10 inches wider....So that I5 should be ok power for it, esp with rising gas prices it will make people look into it if you think its a good look vehicle...
