Technical Specifications

Understanding the Tire Size

255/70R15C breaks down as follows:

• 255 — the tire’s section width in millimeters, measured sidewall to sidewall.
• 70 — the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of the section width.
• R — radial construction, indicating the internal body plies run radially across the tire.
• 15 — the wheel/rim diameter in inches the tire is designed to mount on.
• C — light-truck (commercial) construction, denoting a reinforced casing rated for higher loads than a standard passenger tire in the same size.

The 112 in the load index/speed rating designation corresponds to a specific certified load-carrying capacity per tire at the tire’s rated inflation pressure, as defined by the load index standard. The S speed rating corresponds to a maximum certified speed under the speed rating standard.

Certain attributes — including 3PMSF severe-snow certification, M+S designation, and run-flat capability — are not confirmed for this tire. Buyers who require any of these should verify directly before ordering.

Vehicle & Application Suitability

The Bridgestone Dueler A/T 697 in 255/70R15C is built for:

• 4WD trucks, SUVs, and CUVs running mixed highway and off-road duty
• Drivers who need dependable traction and steering control across varied terrain
• Owners prioritizing puncture and cut/chip resistance for regular off-road use
• Applications where a comfortable, quiet on-road ride is also a priority

Confirm fitment by matching this size, load index, and speed rating to your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, along with wheel compatibility.

Who Should Consider This Tire?

This tire is worth considering if you’re:

• A light-truck, 4×4, SUV, or CUV owner in need of a durable all-terrain tire
• Splitting time between highway driving and off-road or unpaved conditions
• Looking for improved puncture, cut, and chip resistance over a standard highway tire
• Interested in a quieter, more comfortable ride without giving up off-road capability

If you require confirmed 3PMSF, M+S, or run-flat certification, verify these specifications directly before ordering, as they are not confirmed for this listing. If you need a different wheel diameter, load range, or a tire built for another axle or vehicle type, this specific listing may not be the right match.

Tire Size & Fitment Guidance

Before ordering, confirm the following against your vehicle specifications:

• Tire size: 255/70R15C

• Approved rim width: approximately 7.0–8.0 inches
• Overall diameter: approximately 739 mm, for clearance checks
