Most customers rate the Dueler H/L Alenza's wet traction as excellent, with scores of 9-10 highlighting confident wet braking and hydroplaning resistance. While a few ratings between 0-6 note some concerns, the majority experience aligns with its all-season touring design for crossover/SUVs.

...Incredible in the rain - just got back from a 350 mile round trip in torrential rain and I was able to set the cruise at 85mph. I couldn't believe it. Only hydroplaned in a few spots where the drainage systems couldn't keep up...and even then I only had to slow down to 75 to maintain contact with the road...
Pleasantly surprised by these tires. Am a vehicle enthusiast who works on my own cars and am extremely hard on my cars - I push them to the limit in terms of acceleration, handling, and towing. I have used Michelin tires on my vehicles for the last 20 years or so because I've had great experience with them in extreme conditions and they hold up to my aggressive use of my vehicles. We purchased this vehicle used and it came with these Bridgestones.
I may be reconsidering my stance on only buying Michelin tires - these Bridgestones have been incredible.
Great in the dry - we have very twisty back roads near my house and these handle very very well. I don't push big vehicle like this to the limit in turns...but the Bridgestones on our Escalade ESV seem to handle dry conditions just as well as the Michelins on our Suburban.

Impressive in deep snow - we had a surprise 6-8 inch storm this past winter and I took my son to go skiing. The highways were a mess with accidents so I stuck to back roads - many of which were not plowed. The vehicle had zero issues navigating 6 inch unplowed wet/heavy snow for many, many miles.
I'd estimate the tires have about 20k miles on them. The fronts have a 2022 date code and the rears 2018. Carfax says "2 tires mounted" in 2022 when vehicle had 20k less miles on it...so I'm guessing 2 tires have 20k and the other 2 may have more miles on them. All 4 tires currently have 7/32" tread.
Will definitely consider buying these again!

...Heavy rain does not phase these tires either...
My truck has 300000 miles on it . The only tires that have been used are these duelers. Excellent wear averaging 50-60000 miles. I usually replace them early for better traction during the winter. I have driven them through 1+ feet of snow on the highway, heavy slush and icy conditions without slowing down. I’m the guy blowing by you because these tires are so good. Heavy rain does not phase these tires either. Can’t wait for a nice snowy winter!!!Great handling and quiet if that’s important.

Winter traction scores are mostly 8-10, with deep snow performance praised. Ice traction has varied experiences, but overall strong all-season capability for crossover/SUVs.

...These tires are used up north instead of snow tires at times. I highly recommend the Alenza tires for SUV's.
I had the Dueler Alenza tires on my old Land Rover 4. I had them in rainy Florida and they were excellent in all areas, especially hydroplaning.
We got a new Land Rover Discovery full-size and we were about to return the car because of the steering, roll of the car on slight turns, and terrible hydroplaning. It occurred to me that maybe the tires were the problem.
We ordered the tires from Tire Rack, the pricing was great, and they came on time without any issue, perfectly delivered, and put them on the car. It was 180° difference in driving, no more body roll in the corners, great traction on the road, snow, ice, rain. These tires are used up north instead of snow tires at times. I highly recommend Tire Rack and I highly recommend the Alenza tires for SUV's.

Although missing ultimate traction, when the tire does begin to lose grip it does so in a linear manner which makes recovery and control rather trivial compared to my previous tires which were Nexan brand. They had more initial grip but when the lost traction the tires would let go completely and I would lose control of my vehicle...

That does not happen with these Bridgestone Duelers though, highly recommended!

The reviews sum this tire up correctly - very smooth and comfortable ride, great wet and dry traction. A little road noise hum but that is expected with new tires. Gas mileage increased by 1.5 per gallon on average - in a full sized truck that is a nice perk.
Great looking tire. Will update after Winter.

...Super quiet on the highway and smooth road handling...
Bridgestone Alenza H/L 275/55/R20 113T original factory installed tires , have been excellent. Had the Ram now for 5 years this past December and have approximately 49,750 miles on them. Ive driven from NYC to FL, UT, CO and plenty of shorter trips to adjacent states and I've had zero incident and still have 7/32 tread on them. Super quiet on the highway and smooth road handling. Ive gone off road in UT, but on hard dirt surface, these aren't meant for extreme off road. Drive Safe and enjoy the ride.
