The collaboration between Bridgestone and Lamborghini continues with the tyremaker opting to work with the supercar company to develop a tyre for the Huracán Sterrato – designated as the first all-terrain super sports car.

Specifically designed for the unique engineering requirements of the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato and the grunt from its V10 engine, the new Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain AT002 tyre offers drivers maximum on-road and off-road performances.

The tyre’s polymers, patterns and technologies complement the off-road ability of the car while taking nothing away from its high-speed ability on tarmac roads.

The custom Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain AT002 tyres are an exclusive fit for the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato - the first-ever supercar all-terrain tyre to feature Run-Flat Technology (RFT), allowing safe driving even after a puncture – for 80 km at 80 km/h with 0-bar pressure.

Developed and manufactured in Europe, the Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain AT002 includes a new tyre compound designed to optimise grip, with a specific shoulder integrated for additional grip in deep gravel and mud.

Additionally, the tread pattern optimisation allows for the best handling and high-speed performance without compromising off-road grip.

Steven De Bock, Vice President of Consumer Replacement and OE at Bridgestone EMIA, says: “With the Dueler All-Terrain AT002, Bridgestone has created a tyre that perfectly complements the high-speed all-terrain concept of the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato.

“We’ve created a tyre that is just as capable at high speeds on asphalt as it is when driving off-road, providing high-speed stability and off-road capability, rising to meet a completely different set of challenges on mud, gravel, and demanding terrains.” 

These custom-designed tyres are available in two dimensions: 235/40 ZR19 (96Y) XL RFT for the front wheels and 285/40 ZR19 (107Y) XL RFT for the rear. The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 will also be available as an aftersales winter option for the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, available in 235/40 R19 96Y XL and 285/40 R19 107Y XL sizes.
