Bridgestone has just unveiled the latest addition to its renowned tyre range, the Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO, specifically engineered for commercial vans. This new launch builds on Bridgestone’s commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions to meet the demands of van users across the UK. Here’s everything you need to know about this groundbreaking tyre.
All-Season Tyre for Year-Round Efficiency
Replacing the earlier Duravis All Season, the new Duravis All Season EVO is designed for maximum efficiency throughout the year, providing superior performance for both regional and urban fleets. The tyre is a game-changer for businesses reliant on last-mile deliveries, offering improved durability and reduced downtime, which translates into significant cost savings.
This launch completes Bridgestone’s comprehensive van tyre lineup, which includes the Duravis Van Summer and Duravis Van Winter tyres. Now, Bridgestone’s light commercial vehicle offerings are fully optimised for electric vehicles (EVs) as well, ensuring they are future-ready.
Enhanced Performance with ENLITEN Technology
The Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO benefits from the company’s cutting-edge ENLITEN Technology, which offers a 15% increase in mileage and a 15% reduction in rolling resistance compared to its predecessor. This significant enhancement not only boosts fuel and energy efficiency but also prolongs the tyre’s lifespan.
Key Features:
- Improved Wet Grip: Achieves an EU label A-grade for wet grip performance, ensuring safety even in challenging weather conditions.
- Winter-Ready: Features both the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) and M+S markings, making it fully compliant with winter tyre regulations in the UK.
- Fuel Efficiency: The tyre’s optimised design reduces rolling resistance, leading to better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions, which is crucial for fleet operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Cost Reduction and Durability
The Duravis All Season EVO is specifically engineered to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO). Through innovations like a new polymer compound that increases abrasion resistance and optimised pattern stiffness, the tyre achieves better wear performance. This not only enhances mileage but also ensures robustness against the rigours of urban driving.
Durability-Boosting Features:
- Abrasion-resistant Polymer: Extends tyre life, reducing the frequency of replacements.
- Enhanced Water Evacuation: High-volume slots in the shoulder design efficiently channel water away, reducing aquaplaning risk.
- Snow Mobility: The new V-shaped tread layout provides better traction on snowy roads.
Bridgestone’s Commitment to Sustainability
In line with Bridgestone’s vision for a sustainable future, the Duravis All Season EVO leverages environmentally friendly technologies without compromising on performance. By enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing the need for frequent replacements, the tyre helps businesses meet their sustainability targets while optimising operational costs.

Developed in Europe, the Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO will officially launch in January 2025. It will be available in 24 different sizes, ranging from 15 to 17 inches, including six high-load (10PR) sizes, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of van models on UK roads.
This new tyre comes at a time when businesses are increasingly seeking durable, efficient, and eco-friendly solutions for their fleets. With its all-season versatility and EV-ready design, the Duravis All Season EVO is poised to set new standards in the UK’s commercial van tyre market.
