Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport

Today I bought new winter tires and the mechanic warned me about the wear on my summer tires (Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport). They haven't even reached 30.000 kilometers and yet the wear is kind of extreme. Performance wise, i think they are ok but i don't have a powerful car so i couldn't test the limits. The tire noise is kind of a problem. But as i said the main problem is the wear.

These tires were fitted to my car from new, and replaced after 20,000 miles due to the tread wearing away on the outside edges. They gripped well, surprisingly so in winter and on snow, and gave precise steering, but suffered from tire noise on some road surfaces, and a harsh ride.

currently using Bridgestone Dueler H/P sport 255/45/r20 (OEM Speedline bbs J8.5/20'') for Audi Q5 (FY) - and they are one of the most comfortable that I've tried on these 20' alloys. they feel quite "heavy/or more glued" to the road and this is why fuel economy sux. but I can compare these tires to those from my Audi A5 that got almost the same OEM Speedline bbs J9.0 bur r19'.. so after switching wheels into 235/45/r19 Michelin - omg different world. when I install wheels from A5 (Michelin) I can feel every part of the road, Bridgestone compared to them are quite comfortable (what I expect from SUV)

Mercedes GLA200 AMG line (front wheel drive) that was factory fitted with Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport (MOE) tires, not my choose of car but it cost me 1/3 of the used retail price. I normally use Michelin Supersports and Pirelli P Zero Corsa UHP tires on higher performance cars.
I was a bit sceptical when I discovered MOE was Mercedes run flat system, I expected the car be harsh over bumps and skip on bumpy corners like my previous experience with BMW E90 Bridgestone run flats but was pleasantly surprised.
On the French motorways to the south of France, I found the car very stable and easy to place at speed (up to 80 mph officer). I have on occasions pushed the tires and found them predictable wet and dry but never tried them on snow.
After driving 40000 mainly relax miles (it’s not a sports car) on the tires I replaced the whole set with the same. Bit more expensive but the tire are well matched to the car, even tire wear and no tramlining even when worn to 2.0 mm, consistent behaviour over the life of the tire. No experience a puncture on these tires, so cannot comment on flat running. The tire rim saver does not prevent damage, even with the lightest accidental touch of the kerb.

Such a poor tire, these came on the car when I bought and had about 8mm of tread remaining and I was initially pleased as Bridgestone is a reputable brand. During the summer these were good on warm dry roads, the car was however susceptible to tram lining on motorways, I initially put this down to the width of the tires, how wrong I was.
Once the weather changed my opinion on these tires changed drastically, the car would dangerously aquaplane on the slightest amount of water and became difficult to control in bad weather, made driving extremely uncomfortable. The slightest amount of mud at the side of the roads was also enough to cause the wheels to lock up under slight braking, I drive mostly on country roads in the Scottish Highlands. My wife's VW Tiguan on Uniroyal Rainsport 5's does not exhibit these traits on the same roads, a far more safe and confident drive.
At my work we have a discovery 4 as well and it runs on Goodyear duratracs and does not exhibit these handling traits in poor weather so it can be directly attributed to the tires.
Also they are wearing fast, 5000 miles done and 5mm tread gone from the front so its time to change before the winter, 3mm left on the front and 5mm on the back and they have been changed for Goodyear's as I've never had any problems with them.

I am not a manic driver: hard acceleration and harsh braking make no sense to me. However, I have driven numerous vehicles both large and small for over 58 years; but my experience of deciding whether the tires are better than other makes of the same quality is non existent. What I can state is: the current tires on my car are about to be replaced with the same Bridgestone Dueler HP sport tire due to their ten year old age, not due to wear and tear. The mot advisory, noted it was the valves that were showing signs of degradation, not the tires; which still had loads of wear left. I no longer drive long distances regularly, hence the age related issue, not wear and tear, but the car is a 7 seater and used mainly with at least 6 seats occupied.

Now i have 26000 kilometer on tires, and i can say the tires are damaged by exploitation. I won't buy again! lot of noise too!

Excellent long wear rate is the only positive about this tire.

Negatives; Poor in wet conditions and aquaplanes dangerously.
Understeery.
Noisy tires on nearly every surface.
Long breaking distances.
Average handling.
Poor road feedback.

Would not buy as a replacement tire. Next will be Continental PC7 or Michelin PS4 or 5.

Tires are 3 years old and have just failed mot.
All 4 tires have severe cuts in treads down to cords , I do not drive erratically, fast or off road.
Absolutely no idea why the tires have gone this way and I will speak to Bridgestone.
Approximately £1000 for the set .
I will never buy Bridgestone again.

Got these tires brand new with my car but the standout feature is...the wear! These have lasted me 100,000km and only now do they need replacing. Will go for these again. All other traits are pass marks, never lost grip in wet etc.

These 215/60R17 tires were fitted to my 2017 Toyota C-HR Koba AWD. The car originally came with 50 profile tires on 18 inch rims, which are useless on the poor roads where I live in northern NSW, but the dealer agreed to swap the wheels with a lower spec model so I could have the 60 profile tires (which is still too low for Australian country roads). The tires barely lasted 30,000 km; in the meantime I had bought another set of wheels with the same tires from somebody who had replaced them with 18-inch wheels as soon as he bought the car. Again, they have lasted barely 30,000 km and have had multiple punctures, with one of them actually splitting in the middle a couple of days ago. I drive 6 km of gravel each way whenever I use the car, which should not be enough to cause accelerated wear. The tires stick to the bitumen very well and handle like the car is on rails, but the wear rate is unacceptable. The groove on the outer edges of each tire are not as deep as the rest of the grooves and wear extremely quickly, even though I am running them at 38 psi rather than the manufacturer recommended 33 psi. I also rotate them every 5000 km due to being AWD. I am replacing them with a set BFG Trail/Terrain T/A, as the wear rate is ridiculous.

These tires were OE fitment on the 2018 Subaru Outback Premium 2.5 which we bought new. They're about to be replaced, being down to around 2.6 mm after c. 52,000 km. They've been fine, just one puncture (repairable), have been rotated regularly and have worn very evenly and are still in excellent condition (no sidewall deterioration, cracking or uneven tread wear issues) so construction quality seems good. I'm always very careful to keep pressures checked and adjusted for different load conditions and summer temperatures. They're fairly soft riding, so I rate ride comfort as good, but they are quite noisy on common Australian country road coarse chip tarmac (though quiet on smooth bitumen). I wouldn't rate feedback as high, but that is partly down to the car, and they're an SUV tire after all. They've never lost traction on the road even in the wet, but the Subaru is no powerhouse so that's hardly surprising. They are pretty good on gravel roads and tracks given they are really a road tire but predictably don't have much grip if it's at all muddy. Overall I'd say they were perfectly suited to the car. The big surprise is the cost of replacement, where they are coming up significantly more expensive than options such as Michelin Pilot Sport SUV or Primacy SUV+, the Pirelli Scorpion Verde or Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance, so I'm likely to chose one of those options instead.

Had the tires on a Mitsubishi ASX. Found that tire wear was rather poor despite regular rotations every 5000 km. Tires were worn out at 35000 km. Car was unsettled if you hit a rough patch while driving, felt like the tires were losing grip. Wet performance was average, hydroplaned a few times while driving at 80km/h in a tropical downpour. At 2 years old, noticed dry rot on all 4 tires in the thread area. Would not recommend this tires to anyone. For a tire with a premium price this is a rather poor performance

Not one more time… Not very comfortable, not very noisy… so-so

Fitted to a new Mercedes GLC AMG 220D permanent 4 wheel drive. Average driving on a variety of motorway, town and rural A and B roads and all year driving. Grip generally good. My only grope is miles completed... 15K on the rear and 17K on the front. I am unlikely to buy these again. I think there are better tires out there for the money. Tire spec was Bridgestone Dueller Sport, 235/55 R 19 101V MO.
