Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport Reviews - Page 5

Given 26% while driving a Ford Kuga (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 7 easy going miles
I have a Ford Kuga with 19" Bridgestones, once the car had reached 5k the noise became unbearable. Ford and Bridgestone are aware of this problem which can only be rectified with new shoes! The noise that fills the cockpit is a whump whump / whoop whoop noise which the uneven tread on the road makes. Continentals for us next time, if I can stick the noise for much longer!

4000 miles only in new Tiguan, poor feel but most noticeably utterly useless on snow or ice.

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 !!!

Given 80% while driving a Honda CRV (215/65 R16) on a combination of roads for 38,000 average miles
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.

Given 100% while driving a Volkswagen Touareg (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 24,000 average miles
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.
