Bridgestone  Dueler H/T D840

I am surprized at the negative reviews of this tire. I have found it to give very good wet traction and good overall handling. This last winter I drove to work 15 miles in 20+ inches of snow with these tires with no problem. I stayed at 30 mph and under because it was hard to be sure where the road was but could have pushed it much faster. Part of it is the weight balance of the Tundra Double cab I suppose--it doesnt need weight in the bed to get good traction--but I cant complain about the performance of these tires. They are definately not off-road tires but for their intended purpose they do very well. I have 34000 approx on them and expect to get 50000. I do intend to replace them with bridgestone a/t Revo tires when needed but they do match or beat any similar tire I have ever had.

Much better than expected. Based on the ratings here, I was surprised at how this tire performed. It is great on normal everyday conditions, especially in comfort and noise. Driving through a storm put the tires to the test in wet conditions, and they performed better than my expectations. During the trip, I felt no trace of anything near to hydroplaning. I felt safe driving at normal highway speeds (except for visibility of course). It is decent in snowy and icy conditions (no complaints). What surprised me the most was treadwear. I expected it to be gone after 20000 miles. After looking at the remaining tread after 10000, it looks like the tires will last at least another 20000 - 30000 miles! I will definitely consider buying this again.

this Bridgestone Dueller HT D840 is the OEM tire on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It's a highway tire, not a "cool offroad tire" so many guys immediately pull these tire off and swap them out for an aggressive tread pattern and worse-MPG offroad tire. I kept mine on, because my SUV is honestly more grocery-getter and around town commuter.



This is a mature review based on 40,000 miles of service over a 2/3 year period. I live in a primarily dry south western US climate. we get less than 16 inches of rain a year. I do get to the mountains and drive in "very light" snow conditions if I go snowboarding. But generally these tires have been pampered and regularly inspected and rotated and kept properly inflated. I expect to get about 50K miles out them, MAYBE 60K if wanted to live dangerously. But I am shopping for new tires, that's why I'm on this review site.



The tire has performed admirably for it's light-duty role. Only in very special conditions can I make it raise eyebrows - if I take this one turn on a freeway merge that is a DESCENDING DECREASING RADIUS TURN at just slightly above the posted legal speed limit, the tires will give an audible squeal all the way round the roundabout (don't try this on your own folks, I'm a privateer/track racer). But they have never lost traction, even when I have intentionally tried to set-off my Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) functions.



I'm going to do some 4WD offroad driving in my next 50K miles of this car before I sell it, so I'll buy offroad tire next - BUT if I wanted a high-mileage highway tire I'd buy this same set again.

Good steering response and dry handling on my portly SUV. O.K. in wet, gravel (driven on daily),shallow mud, slush and in light snow. Traction marginal (at best) when snow is more than a couple of inches deep. O.K. three season tire(4 season if only light snow). The D840 is quiet on my Sequoia. 65 series on 17 in. rims on my Sequoia ride a little firmer than the 70 series on 16 inch rims on other Sequoias I have driven. Steering response is slightly better with the 265/65/17 set up. I had Michelin Cross Terrains on my previous vehichle and they were about the same as the D840s as far as noise and they were not better in the wet or snow. The D840s will probably wear out sooner, however,they are $40 less per tire than the Cross Terrains.

These Tires are factory inst on my 05 toyota 4 runner. I dont have any complaints these tires are very smooth and quiet and have great steering response. They look a bit plain.

These tires came on my Lexus GX460 and I'll admit that I was disappointed that it didn't come with Michelins. I still think the Michelin looks much better, but the performance of the Bridgestone has been very good. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The noise level is a bit more than I would prefer. Overall the OE tire Bridgestone is an acceptable tire with good performance.

ive had these tires before on another suv and think they are great. i live in boston so i know winter driving. these tires are very quiet, responsive, and do not slip at all. these are the best you can get despite the hype from others. i will always buy these as they cant be beat. nuff sed.

This original equipment tire far exceeded my expectations for treadwear. "Spirited" driver is an understatement...I USE my tires! For them to last over 45,000 miles, with another 1000-2000 of tread left, is exceptional. "Ride comfort" is not really a factor for me, I don't want a wimpy, marshmallowy ride. Ice/snow are also no factor for me, as I'm in sunny Florida.

The Toyota dealer has always rotated the tires on a regular basis, however, the outside edge looks like they have a lot of excessive wear.

OEM on my 2005 4Runner, handles extremely well in Wisconsin winters, smooth ride with very little noise. Will definitely get 80,000 miles before replacing with same. I do rotate tires with every oil change.

After only driving 1.5 years and 22,000 miles a set of Bridgestone H/T they are worn to the point of replacement. After a couple close calls with sliding this winter I took the car into the garage for analysis. The shop mechanic stated that continuing to drive on the tires is putting my family at risk for an accident. I am highly disappointed in Bridgestone's quality! I will probably not exercise the warrant because I don't want another set of Bridgestone tires on my family SUV.

Lost a potential long term customer!

I will begin by saying these aren't bad tires. However, they don't belong on a 4WD truck. They do pretty well in most areas of dry/on-road operation. The tires are very quiet and the ride is excellent. Basically, they have all the makings of a good CAR tire. Do not take these tires off road or in any kind of snow/ice, unless you enjoy getting stuck. During a recent snow storm in which we had over 12" of snow, despite having 4WD, I got stuck in my driveway. It took a few times of "rockin' it" just to get out. This kind of thing would never happen had Toyota outfitted the Tundra with proper 4WD truck all terrain tires like they should have. If you live in a climate where it never rains or snows, these tires are pretty good. However, if you live in a climate where you get snow on a regular basis, definitely don't buy these tires.

These tires are only good on dry straight roads. Very poor traction in the rain and even worst in the snow. The only thing the tires did well is they lasted over 60,000 miles and noise level is low.
