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.

Michelin Reviews

Customer feedback data reveals strong performance in key areas for this all-season Crossover/SUV tire. Comfort stands out with praise for a smooth ride and low road noise, scoring 7-10 across most entries. Treadwear receives positive marks for durability, though some report uneven wear patterns. Winter traction shows variability-many rate light snow handling 7-8, but deeper snow and ice scores dip to 4-6, suggesting limitations in extreme conditions. Wet traction (6-9) and hydroplaning resistance (7-9) earn consistent approval, while dry traction excels with frequent 9-10 ratings for grip and responsive handling. Owners highlight reliable year-round usability but note reduced winter confidence compared to dedicated snow tires.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP ZP excels in wet traction, with most ratings between 7-10 and numerous 9s/10s for confident rain handling. Strong hydroplaning resistance in higher scores reinforces all-season capability, though a few lower ratings suggest occasional variability.

...After the tires wore down, wet & snow traction significantly diminished, but that's of course to be expected with any tire...

Great tires, 40,000 miles already and still have about 20% of tread remaining. The tires are still quite, smooth, and have no vibrations. The wear is even on all 4 tires. Dry road feel is equivalent to when tires were new. After the tires wore down, wet & snow traction significantly diminished, but that's of course to be expected with any tire. Overall, couldn't be more pleased and will most likely re-purchase again.

Tires were good in dry an wet traction...

Tires were good in dry an wet traction. At 20k miles poor stopping ability in light snow. Very harsh ride. went to non-run-flat Pirelli Ice and Snow winter tires. Smoother ride. Will go with non-run-flat Continental crosscontact LX 20 in spring.

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP ZP earns strong winter traction scores, with many customers rating snow and slush performance 8-10. While ice grip shows mixed feedback (scores 5-8), most praise its reliable handling in typical all-season winter conditions.

...My current set has 60k on them and I wouldn't be changing them if it wasn't such a icy snowy winter...

I just ordered my third set of these tires and honestly I TRUST them. My current set has 60k on them and I wouldn¿t be changing them if it wasn¿t such a icy snowy winter. I¿ve had 3/4 tires patched and never had a issue afterwards. I¿ve driven with one flat over 30 miles and parked it overnight till I could fix it in the morning. I drive a diesel so I don¿t know if these tires are loud, I¿ve never noticed them. I¿ve had my fair share of road rage so I¿m really surprised about all the reviews saying the tread life was low... my first set was used mostly in city. My second set was used on mud, gravel, dirt roads, highway, country, and city.

...The tires performed great on dry pavement and even on wet pavement...

This OEM run flat tire wore like iron and gave me 44000 miles. I did rotate and balance tires tires every 5K to 6K with an alignment every year which probably helped with the mileage. I did not expect this mileage from these tires with all the bad reviews. Only bad things about this tire were the noise and rough ride after 30K and the poor snow traction. The tires performed great on dry pavement and even on wet pavement. I have recently replaced the run flats with a set of Michelin Latitude Tour HP 255/55R 18 non run flat tires. Since I do have a spare, it made sense to replace the RFs with non RFs. The new tires have 1100 miles and drive and handle as well as the RF but without the excessive noice.

...Reasonable comfort; less than average noise.

Purchased run-flat tires to return the vehicle to the configuration as originally equipped. After 15,000 miles on these tires, I am very pleased with the performance in all conditions. Treadwear so far barely noticeable. Reasonable comfort; less than average noise.

...So far the tires are great, very quiet and handle very well (love the sport package). Took a 2K road trip last year and the tires performed very nicely and were quiet...

I purchased my X5 used (01/09) with 7,800 miles on it. These are the OEM tires. I do not do a lot driving anymore and average about 5K to 6K a year (current mileage is about 17,600). So far the tires are great, very quiet and handle very well (love the sport package). Took a 2K road trip last year and the tires performed very nicely and were quiet. Picked up a piece of metal in the left rear this week, but the tire shop was able to repair it. This was my first experience with run-flats and I think they are great. It looks like I should be able to get another 10K to 15K out of the tires (wish it were more). I think that would probably be good wear due to the weight of the vehicle, sport package, and AWD.

...My only beef is they ride 'hard' (typical for run-flat tires)...

I've had two sets of these tires on my 2018 X5. The first set was replaced around 38k miles. I'm about to replace the second set after 54k miles (yes - 54,000+ miles, that's not an error). The only difference is I rotated the second set every 20k-25k miles despite BMW not recommending this.

My only beef is they ride "hard" (typical for run-flat tires). I'll likely try Pirelli Scorpions next.

Treadwear receives excellent ratings, with most customers scoring 9s and 10s for impressive durability. Scores between 7-8 reflect good longevity, while a few lower ratings show variability, but overall it delivers reliable wear for Crossover/SUV touring use.

Most of you may find this difficult to believe, but I have driven 91,000 miles on these original tires. Three (3) of the 4 tires have been patched. The Thread is roughly about 70% worn and based on just a visual look at the tire I can easily get to the 100,000+ mile mark on all 4 tires.

Most of you may find this difficult o believe, but I have driven 91,000 miles on these original tires. Three (3) of the 4 tires have been patched. The Thread is roughly about 70% worn and based on just a visual look at the tire I can easily get to the 100,000+ mile mark on all 4 tires. These are the original Run Flat tires.

Needless to say I am considering replacing the tires and my only consideration is to replace with the same exact tires. These tires have delivered to me 91,000 miles and it works for me so no need changing them.

My driving style is easy going. I would say that roughly 70,000 of the 91,000 miles have been highway miles taking the family to Boston, Florida, Virginia and driving frequently to my job weekly in DC. I live in NJ. I treat my car with care; no sudden stops, no fast starts and I go around corners without much tilt on the vehicles. Once in a while I go for a thrill drive and put the car in sports mode and go for it.

These tires are great. I would recommend them. I am not affiliated with Michelin or any other interests. Just love these tires because they have delivered 91,000 miles and are still in good conditions besides being patched.

...These tires have performed well and I've racked up 48K miles before now replacing them with the same tires...

Michelin Latitude Tour HP runflats came standard on my 2015 X5. These tires have performed well and I've racked up 48K miles before now replacing them with the same tires. I looked at other options including the Pirelli Scorpion and Continental Conticontact models. While these other tires seem to rate higher in some areas including snow handling, the downside was a much shorter life span that seems to average in the 20K mile range. The price of the Michelins is the biggest drawback, coming in at around $1500 for a set with installation. With the safety factors involved with a tire purchase, I'm willing to spend more to get the best option for my family.
