Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport Reviews - Page 3

Given 49% while driving a Jeep compass (235/45 R19 H) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
So i've had these tyres for a month and bit and they are just really noisy. Dry grip is okay, I've not had much of a chance to try them in the wet other than the odd downpour at which point they were at best average. The wear seems to be minimal but the noise, they are just so loud compared to the Vrederstein's when you drive at anything over 30mph.

One thing worth saying and it is mentioned in a few reviews these tyres are supposed to be premium but they do not hold well when trying to make quick directional changes. Rare in an SUV I grant you but still they just completely let go, leaving the steering going floaty and you get to roll your luck to see what happens. Really the only worse tyres I've experianced was the Nankang Greenline tyres and they are proper cheap so it says a lot about what Bridgestone need to do with this tyre.

Reviewing D680's. Its a shame they no longer manufacture them.

I've had this tyres on my 2WD Qahsqai since 2012. They came with the car and I felt them ok from the first day.
They are, overall, a pretty nice tyre; good dry grip on an "average" driving manner (nothing crazy to do with a Qashqai), decently comfortable, but a little bit noisy at high speeds, which becomes annoying when the tarmac gets rough. On rainy days they offer great response as long as the driving style keeps easy.
What it's been really good from this tyre is treadwear. They have lasted more than 50k miles with no drama, and probably could have done 5k miles more if they wouldn't have been already 5 years old.
I've replaced them with some Toyo Proxes CF2 SUV, and I have to say they're not that much different. The Toyo wins in comfort and noise, though.

Really good tyres lasted for 31,000 miles from new on a VW Tiguan R Line and still had 2mm left on them.
Great wet and dry grip and really good handling in all conditions.
Longest lasting tyres I've ever had and would definitely recommend.

My Touareg had the Bridgestones on when bought so i replaced like for like when the rears wore down, i must say i will be trying another brand next time though, ive had a few hairy moments in the wet when the car just wants to go straight on in corners, the rears have only lasted 10k miles and the noise level on motorways isnt great..

Given 87% while driving a Toyota Land cruiser prado (265/65 R17 S) on a combination of roads for 6,000 easy going miles
I use my Land Cruiser on a mix of country and main roads but about 10% of the time I am on farm tracks or off road. When on wet or dry surfaces, I have never felt that I was about to lose grip. Even braking in the wet it gives good confidence. I have the high wall 17" which give a slightly better ride than the 18" which I tried. 2-300 mile journeys are very comfortable and poor road surfaces do not affect the tyres as much as you might think. I run slightly over the tyre pressures and this helps me to get around 37mpg. Not bad for a 2.5 ton 4x4.

Given 49% while driving a Isuzu DMAX (255/65 R17) on mostly country roads for 6,000 easy going miles
These came fitted to my pick up when I got it new. I have no issues with the comfort or noise. I've no idea what to say about the 'road grip' and 'progressiveness' because it's a pick up not a sports car. The issue is with wet grip. I am a car mechanic and a truck driver so I've driven a lot of things and these are by far the worst tyres ive ever experienced in the wet. They also love picking up stones and then throwing them down the side of my car when you pick up speed. I am not a fast driver but I am a confident driver who spends a lot of time on country roads but my confidence goes when the roads are wet. Not experienced them in snow yet and don't want to even with 4 wheel drive.

Quite noisy. I really dont recommend these to owners who have cars with lite noise insulation like on my car. Dry grip is ok. Wet grip is also ok. Ride comfort is nod so bad either. But the steering response is quite strange. Seems like they are trying to resist against faster steering even on very low speeds. Something like "Ok ok...I will turn, but I really dont want to do that." And their only advantage according me is mileage. If you drive your SUV like SUV and not like a racing car then they will last.

These were standard on my company Nissan Q. Barely lasted 20k on the front. Rear ones lasted double as much and were replaced today with the front ones. The road noise is considerable and makes conversation with the passengers in the back seat almost impossible.
