Those Bridgestones were the OEM tire on our 2013 CR-V. Noisy on the highway is spot on. My Blizzak DM-V1 snow tires are noticeably quieter than the Duelers were.”

Tire A

Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport

Mixed

Community sentiment for the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport is mixed, with users praising its dry and wet performance as well as smooth highway ride on select fitments. However, common complaints focus on excessive highway road noise and poor traction in winter or snow conditions. Additionally, some buyers question its value due to higher retail pricing compared to alternative brands.

“I ended up buying one of these BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/P SPORT 225 60 R18 100V - b/b/71 dB - Summer Tire : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive They had two instore and now have one left. I was a bit dubious as they're not a tyre supplier but a trading company who seem to sell everything. But I gave them a ring and they were helpful= based in B'ham. They even sent a runner to nip down to their store to read off the DOT on the tyre (it was 2018) for me. Anyway I ordered it and it seems really fine. Lables on, brand new, etc. I've put it on as a spare in the boot, but I'd be happy using it. Before that, I thought I'd got a better deal on Amazon as they were offering Dueller HPs from their EU store. It was annoying to have one delivered and to find when delivered it was an Alenza Bridgetone, so I had all the hassle of returning it and refunding. 6 weeks later they had the gall to say i hadn't returned it, but I had kept the Hermes drop-off receipt, and they were very apologetic. Just make sure you double check it is a Dueller HP Sport you're getting from Germany and not a modern equivalent. Bridgetone Europe told me that the Dueller HP, in my size, was discontinued and they couldn't source one.”

“I've had the N-spec 20" Bridgestones on my CTTS for just about a year now, and couldn't be more satisfied with them. They're wearing well and balanced up perfectly when I did a Roadforce match balance on them. A very smooth riding tire; you won't be going wrong with these as your summer tire.”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
