Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia is one of Bridgestone's ecologically oriented Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tires developed for the drivers of small- and medium-sized crossover and sport utility vehicles looking to combine year-round traction, handling and comfort with reduced environmental impact. Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia tires are designed to enhance vehicle fuel economy by reducing tire rolling resistance* along with the vehicle's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while delivering year-round all-season traction, even in light snow.

The Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia uses an all-season tread compound featuring Bridgestone's unique NanoPro-Tech (Nanostructure-Oriented Properties Control Technology) to reduce rolling resistance and energy loss while maintaining dry, wet and wintertime traction.

This compound is molded into a symmetric tread design that combines notched shoulders and intermediate ribs with independent center blocks for dry road tracking and traction. Four circumferential grooves are designed to help water flow from under the footprint to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction while notches and sipes increase the edges that bite into light snow. The tire sidewalls feature Bridgestone's Fuel Saver compound to further increase efficiency.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester casing to blend ride comfort and durability.

*Specific sizes featuring Ecopia technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

We have not experienced all weather conditions yet but so far the cornering is very good, dry and wet traction very good...

We just purchased these Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia Low Rolling Resistance tires replacing the original Michelin tires at about 37000 miles. So far we are getting 1-2 mpg better than the Michelin tires which was initially unexpected because our Michelin tires were very worn down. We have not experienced all weather conditions yet but so far the cornering is very good, dry and wet traction very good, noise level as quiet as the Michelins (some Bridgestone tires are very noisy so we were worried about the noise level), and rolls like it is riding on a small cushion of air so far. So far so good. Hopefully we'll keep this updated on its performance over time but are rated to go 65000 miles. (After our Michelin OE tires lasting only 37000 miles I am hoping this is so.)

...Dry and wet traction are very good, TBD for snow, ice, and tread wear.

Bought these tires to replace OEM Goodyear RSA that had 32,000 miles on them. There's a significant improvement in ride comfort and noise. Experienced 2-3 mpg improvement

on 5,700 mile trip. Dry and wet traction are very good, TBD for snow, ice, and tread

wear.

...They have performed well in all conditions: dry, wet and Cleveland snow & ice...

I wish that they still made these tires as I would purchase another set! Four years and 69k miles later, I still like them. The tread depth is 5/32" after 69k miles, so they lasted past their warranty. I would have no issues keeping them on the car in dry weather with 5/32", but I am considering being proactive and replacing them this winter simply since I drive around for work. They have performed well in all conditions: dry, wet and Cleveland snow & ice. They have been quiet and have worn evenly. They are rotated every 4 months, which ranges from 4,000 to 7,500 miles. I could not ask any more from a tire.

...And to my pleasant surprise when we had eighteen inches of snow come down and the road on our cud-e-sac was not plowed; my CX-9 with two years of use on the tires went through that snow without an issue. I did not realize how deep the snow really was until I returned from the store and saw that I was plowing the snow on my street with the front and bottom of my vehicle...

I replaced the stock tires with these and instantly the truck felt like it was new again. The ride is smooth and quiet. The tires handle the dry roads excellent, grabs the curves with no roll on the sidewall at "spirited" speeds.... The handling in wet weather is just as good. Having all wheel drive with low profile wide tires on twenty inch rims probably makes the big difference, but the tires really grip well.

...Very good dry traction, acceptable traction in wet and snow conditions...

OEM tire on my 2017 Highlander. These tires give a comfortable ride with little noticeable road noise. Very good dry traction, acceptable traction in wet and snow conditions. After 21,000 miles noticeable tread wear probably will need to be changed by 30,000 but vehicle will be returned on lease before then.

...Dry pavement pretty good...I know the vehicle suspension and dynamic electronics of the vehicle helps immensely but overall it sticks nicely with either just me or 6 people in it...

I have never been a fan of Bridgestone tires. They Chop up all the time and never provided the best wear like Michelin, Pirelli and Dunlop. My Brother works for Bridgestone and I decided to try them out on my X5. I immediately noticed how smooth and quiet they are on my BMW X5 3.0l X-drive with adaptive drive, rear damper load level suspension and active steering. I drive my BMW like a BMW and I'm thoroughly pleased. The Mileage on this Boat anchor went up by 2.5mpg. I am not stroking my ego with my reference to BMW I drive a lot of rental cars (Infiniti, Lincoln, Cadi) and I still feel much safer and secure in my BMW, They are just better engineered.

Understand this is a highly sophisticated vehicle with an even more sophisticated suspension and AWD system. Dry pavement pretty good...I know the vehicle suspension and dynamic electronics of the vehicle helps immensely but overall it sticks nicely with either just me or 6 people in it. Wet pavement is fine as long as Im not trying to drive like a maniac. I notice some low speed slippage if Im whipping around corners but for the most part I have yet to get unsettled. As far as hydroplaning and driving through deep puddles quickly, they do a great job. I don't even notice the water. Speeds of 80mph in the pouring rain is not a problem, they do a great job of taking the water away. Once again this may be due to the fact that my truck is near 6000 pounds.

Snow & Ice. Snow Fine. Deep or Light Just Fine. Slush don't even notice it. Ice. Useless. I mean Useless. No Grip, all slide. It was just starting to sleet and I have never been more frightened in all my life. The X5 couldnt make heads or tails of what was going on. Once I stopped I immediately went home and ordered 4 Blizzaks. Not good on ice at all.

The tires are overall awesome. They are NEVER Rotated(Biggest Scam in History) and have served me well. They look to be at about Half Life right now. Tons of tread and not wavering. I am very very happy with them.

...Quiet and nice smooth ride...

Seemed to be a break in period before cornering improved to the point where you didn't feel like you were going wide. I rotated every 5000 to 6ooo miles. Quiet and nice smooth ride. Somewhat disappointed in how the drove in the snow. Adequate but had to be aware.

The gas mileage and rolling resistance has been excellent on these tires. This is a 65,000 mile tire and I have 72,000 miles on them now. I plan on buying another set in 7,000 miles. Price is great and this tire has worked very well for me.
