Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS 

I completely disagree with the myriad negative reviews this tire gets. This tire worked well on my outback. I have about 41K miles on them so its time for replacement. Snow, mud, dry pavement, fast corners, etc. The tires performed to my satisfaction. I've driven on un-maintained muddy dirt roads, long gravel roads, steep muddy trails, etc. No problems at all. Never got stuck in the snow or mud. I never sensed/felt hydroplaning on wet roads either. Through the last 10K miles, the noise has only slightly increased and the ride is just a little more sensitive to cracks/bumps in the road. All in all, its a good tire and no where near as bad as the snobby negative reviews would like you to believe.

My 1st all wheel drive, used up 5/32 in a year but other than that really good winter tire up here in New Hampshire, a little noisy maybe, but definitely a great rainy and winter tire

So, I can't speak for the treadwear and winter concerns, that's going to be Outback reviewer territory. 🏕

What I CAN tell you, is that on this platform, you'd have to break laws to get this tire to lose composure. there's a bit of a nebulous center, but otherwise this turns in quickly, holds the line, and just provides near unlimited grip for an average CUV driver, driving averagely.

Hypothetically, if one were to be the sort that tries to outdo their last record on a particularly excellent onramp, or explore the limits of grip during downpours, you won't be disappointed. I've had worse UHPs.

Trust the tire rack review, not so much us down here.

Initial impression is very good. They are better than the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season that were replaced. The ride is smooth, quiet and they have excellent dry road handling.

With the help of a Tire Rack Adviser, I chose these for a combination of sport and luxury on my SUV, a BMW X3 . I wanted steering responsiveness, but since this is our family car, I also wanted ride and quiet. I have been delighted with these tires on all three counts. Since I use Blizzak winter tires, I can't comment on snow traction. I also have a BMW M240i which I used to auto-cross last year. and these Dueler tires would not be appropriate for that, but for the SUV these were a great choice.

 Great wear, still have plenty of life. I just wish it were time to replace because I don't like the tires. Horrible snow traction. AWD Outback slides all over in snow. Hydroplaning is an issue at highway speeds. Wet traction alone is fine. Dry handling is acceptable. Comfort is good. Noise is average. Overall I'm not happy with the performance and live in the snow belt where AWD is almost necessary. This tire seems great for a southern California climate. For me, it's been a loser and I can't wait to get rid of these.

These tires cannot handle any amount of snow. They offer no control under braking at the slowest speeds. These should only be used in non snow regions and never considered for use in any area where snow or ice is possible. By far...the worst tire performance I have ever experienced in winter conditions. These are so bad that I am removing them with only 16000 miles on them.

All in all garbage, Bridgestone and Firestone tires, on every car I have bought with them, they were replaced IMMEDIATELY. These will also be gone in the next week. As usual, zero grip in snow with probably 60-70% tread left.

These were OEM on my Murano. They drive and handle good, more noise than I like for a luxury vehicle. My big complaint is that I'm replacing them at 2 years old and 35,500 miles because the tread has worn below my comfort level, although the tread has worn evenly. I am replacing them with Michelin Primacy Tour AS.. My neighbor has them on her 2022 Lexus SUV and they ride smooth and quiet. A tire as expensive as the Bridgestone Dueler should last longer than 32K miles..

These tires performed well under normal conditions. They were quiet and effective at braking and handling. Light snow traction was OK, and I took the vehicle on ski vacations to New England states. My primary complaint was the short tread life. I regularly checked the tread depth during the life of the tire. As they reached 4-5/32nds, the rear became slippery in wet conditions. I put the better pair on the back which helped but with winter approaching, I lost faith that the tires would have adequate snow traction and replaced them at 31,500 miles.

Very disappointed in mileage. Approaching 30k miles and getting close to wear bars. Probably could nurse some more miles out of these tires, but don’t feel safe with this being wife’s car. The wear on this tire is ridiculously bad for a new car that is well maintained and driven conservatively.
