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 Alenza with UNI-T and/or UNI-T AQII technology is Bridgestone's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season light truck tire developed for the drivers of premium crossover and sport utility vehicles, as well as light duty pickup trucks. The Dueler H/L Alenza is designed to provide elegance with an edge, as well as year-round traction, even in light snow.

While all Dueler H/L Alenza sizes feature Bridgestone's UNI-T technology to take tire behavior to a higher level by increasing comfort and control, in order to further enhance wet traction over the life of the tire select sizes also have Bridgestone's UNI-T AQII technology which features dual layer tread compounds to resist the normal tread rubber hardening that results from the heat encountered during thousands of miles of use. As the tire wears, the special underlying high-grip rubber is exposed, helping offset the effects of heat and wear on wet traction. The result is that UNI-T AQ II technology helps handle wet road conditions even as the tire wears over the years.

The symmetric tread pattern of the Dueler H/L Alenza has been ride and noise tuned to enhance comfort. Large shoulder blocks and a continuous center rib boost responsiveness and highway stability, while wide circumferential grooves, lateral notches and sipes help increase stormy weather traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts (reinforced with spirally wound nylon for H-, V- and W-speed rated sizes) to provide support under the tread area, while polyester cords stabilize the sidewalls and enhance ride quality.

Note: While Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season light truck tires offer all-season versatility including traction in light snow, tire sizes featuring extremely wide tread widths may limit the traction this type of tire can provide in deep snow.

*Specific sizes featuring UNI-T or UNI-T AQII technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

Sooner or Later You'll Own Generals - Maybe Now is the Time(04:02)

If you ask people about General tires, many will remember the decades-old slogan "sooner or later you'll own Generals." General recently introduced the Grabber HTS as the newest member of the Grabber family of SUV and pick-up/light truck tires, focusing on all-season traction and ride quality for drivers who never need to venture off paved roads and highways. To gain a better understanding of how well the new General Grabber HTS fits with today's SUVs, we did some comparing. Maybe now is the time.

...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.

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.

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.

...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.
