Bridgestone Dueler HL 400

60000k of mostly urban driving and have been good tyres with no complaints

OEM on a 2015 Subaru Forester Touring. Wear-bar showing at 52K mi. Rotated every season while I use my studded winter tire setup. They became a harsher and noisier ride as the tread worn down. Think I'll try a high quality all-season tire next that has a 70K mi warranty, rather than this summer tire. These Duelers did okay for OEM and have been reliable even in very mild winter snow conditions before I switch to my studded tire setup.

The Bridgestone Dueler HL tires came standard with my wife's 2018 Subaru Forester Touring SUV. Most of the reading that I have done online indicates that these tires are good for about 30K to 40K miles. My wife's tires now have 75K on them and still have a few more thousand miles of life on them. She drives both in town and on the highway. Maybe we were just lucky with the particular Duelers that came with the car. I will be going with Consumer Reports' recommendations at the time to replace the tires.

I would not recommend this tire, I used Dueler H/L 400 on my Toyota Highlander and they worn out around 25K miles and now I need replace all the four tires again.

Simply unbelievable. No wonder Subaru fitted them as OE. Now on 54,000 miles from new and the longest lasting tyre I have ever owned. Thinking about slowly ordering the same again. In the beast from the east in March 2018 they were magnificent on the 4X4. Look no further. I don’t work for any motor company just tell you my experience.

At 21,000 miles on my 2018 Forrester Touring the Dueler hl400 are not going to make 30,000. The slightest road bit of a rough road creates a feeling as if you were driving on solid rubber tires on steel wheels ( as in Mack AC Bulldog chain drive. Reasonably quiet.

I am just replacing my first set of tyres on my Subaru XT. The tyres are 5 years old with 41,000 miles on them. They are starting to wear on the outside edges of the front so now coming close to legal limit. They have lasted well with mileage and age, haven't found them particularly good on wet corners and especially wet roundabouts. My company cars stick a lot better to corners and roundabouts on different tyres. For a vehicle that is of a performance breed, I would have expected better grip. I have booked in to have these tyres replaced by turanza t005 which are meant to be a great all round tyre.

Used on a Subaru Forester XT. I have completed 33,000 trouble free miles on these tyres. I have found them to be extremely good in both wet and dry conditions, on all types of roads from country lanes to long distance motorway trips. Low road noise and exceptional wear. I am replacing them at 35,000 miles just to give extra tread during the winter months as we live on the rural Somerset/Dorset border and plenty of mud and ice in the winter. I have just ordered a set of exactly the same tyres, so obviously I am really impressed.

Tire came standard in the Subaru Forester XT (245hp version) and worn evenly with a tire rotation and balancing every 6-months. Used this tire over 5 years and clocked in almost 25k km with about 20-30% useable tread left. A few spirited driving on hard acceleration and quick stopping. Tire losses grip over tight corners (mountain road), but I see it more of the compact SUV higher centre of gravity. Satisfied overall, but looking to see if another alternative (like Michelin PS4SUV will be better).

These were the factory tires from Subaru and many reviews rate them poorly. I found the tires to be very good in the rain and resistant to hydroplaning. Dry performance deteriorated as the tire wore and when driving and accelerating hard around the same corner to get home they started to slip more. Snow performance was much better than I expected even when half worn, I was able to drive through about 6 inches of wet heavy snow without issue. Braking on icy conditions was acceptable. I found the tire transmitted a lot of road noise into the car and at highway speeds was quite loud. Again as the tire wore it seemed as the tires ride was getting harsher. I sold the car at 33,000 KM and the tyres were at about 40% left I don't think they are best in class but they are a good all around tire with very good wet and good snow capabilities.
