Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 79 reviews

Drivers describe the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport as a capable on-road SUV tyre with strong dry-road stability/handling and, in many higher-scoring reviews, impressive tread life when properly maintained. However, a substantial share of owners report high road noise and a less refined feel (harshness, tramlining or vague/odd steering), especially as the tyre wears. Wet performance is the most divisive trait: some find it secure, while many others report poor wet grip and aquaplaning, and several also note weak snow/mud traction.

Very good dry grip, both cornering and braking, though I would not say they are overly communicative. Wet performance has given me no cause for concern. Wear appears reasonable, measuring depth used so far I expect to get at least 20000 from a set. That's the good points, however I find the tyres ride very hard, appear to inhibit the steering's self-centering and track very oddly (terrible tendency to follow camber to the point I had 4 wheel alignment check). Also a little noisy, Have just swapped to my winter set and suddenly I have a more comfortable and better steering car. So though I will continue to use tyres until worn, I probably would not replace with same.

Just bought a Ford Kuga with 10k miles.The noise and handling from these tyres was TERRIBLE. Took car back and tyres replaced with Continental. It is a different car now!!I have heard there is a known concern with these tyres at FORD.

What a dreadful tyre. Totally unsuitable for the Kuga. Tyre wear is ridiculous. I'll be needing a new front set soon and only done 10k. All my previous tyres on various new cars all 4x4 have lasted between 30-40k. Road noise make this the noisiest tyre I have ever driven on. Ought to be allowed free replacement althuogh I wouldnt actually want them even if they were free.

I am very very disappointed with this tyres !!!!! I drove excellent Michellin Diamaris 4x4 before and when I start to drive Touareg with Bridgestone Dueler it feels like I drive tractor. Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport is very slow uncomfortable tyre and it is not worth that money. I NEVER again bought Bridgestone !!!

I have just replaced the front 2 tyres on my CRV after they have covered 38,000 miles in 5 years. The rear tyres still have 5mm of tread left!! Dry grip is very good and the tyre gives a lot of feedback to the driver. In the wet they could lose traction if pushed hard but then again so does every tyre. For every day use and ferrying the kids about these tyres are more than adequate for the car. Needless to say both new tyres on the front are Duelers, I did consider fitting a budget brand for £72 each but then found a local mobile tyre fitter who came to the house and charged me £99.50 per corner all inclusive. Due to the fantastic tyre wear it would be false economy to fit the cheapies.

i've a 2008 Touareg 3TDI v6. The Bridgestone Duellers i fitted last year have given me 24,000 miles (39,000km) which i was very very impressed with. a mix of country roads and motorway. I do no trailer pulling either. The wear is pretty even, good grip etc. I'd definitely recommend paying the bit extra for Bridgestone, as they've given fantastic mileage.

Superb tyres had them on my X5 2009 for 32000 and still have 3.5 mm left in snow absolutely brilliant. Last winter never had issues travelling between Nottingham and Highlands in Scotland.

Exceptional in wet good all round tyre.

mostly driven on country roads,found good in dry conditions, not so good in wet couldnt stop last december in damp conditions and damaged front end.i found they are very poor in snow with next to no grip.i live on an estate on a slight hill and because of lack of grip with these tyres last winter i couldn't get off estate for over a week. don't think i would buy duelers again.am thinking about getting winter tyres for the winter months.

So far I,m very pleased with these tyres but not had my car long & wondering how things will go during the winter months! I have the new Mini Countryman Cooper Diesel ALL4 which have the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport fitted as standard.Would be interested to hear from anyone who has experience of winter conditions on these tyres.
