Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus 

This is a review that i had to write. 2021 Explorer XLT RWD, Just did oil change at 89,660 miles and i still have these tires on the front. I had to replace the rear tires because one got slashed by piece of aluminum debris on roadway last year and I replaced the rears with Goodyear Assurance Weatherready tires because my wife wanted more wet driving traction. These tires on this explorer are match made on earth, i tested the -------- out of them in the rainiest day and in horrible conditions on the badest roads in Florida and there are plenty. I didn't test them on half-asphalt or heavy potholed roads, but they really blew me away in the rain, especially because this Explorer is RWD 2.3L and it's traction control is worse than a 1990 Chevy Corsica; useless. Wife travels a lot between east and west Florida, mostly on highways but most of Florida is like a highway.

On dry, they perform well, I have them on Asanti wheels and after almost 90k miles, they still have 6/32nds of tread left. Here in south Florida when it rains, it pours and i'm not hydroplaning or loosing traction on these tires. I have never had a holes in them and had them balanced twice. The Explorer never had wheel alignment done since it left the dealership. Never rotated the tires either. I'm writing this because i've noticed dry rot on them and figured it's time to replace them with similar tires since these are not available anymore.
I used to buy cheaper tires to save money but now i see that if i buy the better brand, i will definitely get more money back in the long run. I hope Bridgestone sees this review and decides to bring them back. Too bad Tirerack doesn't allow photos to be uploaded so you could see that you can go way beyond the advertised mile mark on these tires.

Bought from here on December 6, 2020. Review written on July 14, 2023.

I had 5 different sets of tires on Ford Expeditions and without a doubt the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus SLs are the smoothest, and most quietist tires I have ever had. I also had a number of other tire brands on many cars/SUVs and without a doubt, these are the best tires to date. They have great grip on dry road and we had the first rain since we had the tires mounted and they did extremely well on wet roads. My wife drives the Expedition primarily and she really likes these tires.

This is my second set of the Bridgestone Alena’s I have had no disuse with the tires, they handle great in all weather conditions. I live in the north east with various weather and I’ve never had an issue . Combined wear between the 2 sets I’ve owned was 112,000 miles , also pulling a 18 fl landscape trailer with the first set. Not sure if they come in a 10 ply but if they do I’d buy a set next time around . One of the best tires I’ve owned

love these tires. quiet, smooth, great traction in all four seasons. rated for 80,000 and will get there easily

Highly Recommended for ice and snow driving on highways. I like this tire because it handles very well in ice and snow. I live in Denver and drive to the mountains often, so I need a tire that grips well in wet/snowy conditions with relatively steep road grades. I do NOT drive off road, so these tires are only used in HWY/City roads. This is my third set on this car and I can usually get around 35,000 to 38,000 miles out of a set. After 30,000 miles, I do notice less traction in the snow, but still adequate. Just had the vehicle in for tire rotation at 32,000 miles and the tread depth is about 5/32's of an inch on each tire. I do rotate every 5,000 miles or so.

Excellent tires so far! We've had a lot of snow/ice here in Chicago and these new tires are the best I've ever had on my 4Runner. Traction in snow/rain/ice has been excellent. Very low road noise. I've been using Michelin but I think the overall quality of the Bridgestones are far better.

Exceptional tire, quiet and comfortable with still great handling characteristics.

This is my fourth set of these tires and they are great tires for all of the above. Traction , tread wear etc. Purchase and mounting was very smooth. I was really pleased with the process from beginning to end. Great job.

Great tread wear and performance. These tires have outperformed all the other tires I've tried on this vehicle, and I'll will continue to use theses from here on out.

This is the second set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tires that I've had and both sets got over 80,000 miles. As I keep vehicles till the wheels fall off, I will be buying another set of these. Air pressure monitoring and tire rotation are key to longevity of any tires. I usually run 40lb pressure in these Bridgestone tires.
