Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport vs Pirelli P Zero — Compared

“BIMMERPOST / Classifieds Asking Price: None Item Interest I have a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport RFT from my 2008 X5 with 13K miles on them. This set up is 20" Staggered (315/35 in the rear and 275/40 in the front). I have shifted to Conti DWS, because of the ride quality and not having the ability to drive in the snow. They are for sale as set for $100.00 or $30.00 an individual tire. Prefer local pick up in Norfolk, VA but will ship to you at your expense. Full disclosure I had the right rear plugged 10K miles ago with no problems. Would rather sell to a fellow X5 owner instead of selling them to the used tire guy.”

“this does not look like any kind of tire for any snow, with nothing really to bite with anywhere. proper name = Bridgestone DUELER H/P SPORT AS and if you scroll down you can see its poor snow and ice scores, vs. its good rain scores on TireRacks own tests Bridgestone*Dueler H/P Sport AS ________ your other listed alternative does not look that much better in snow, although it does get better scores on the tire rack tests. Did you just consider getting a dedicated set of snow tires on their own rims,...just like consumer reports recommends to save money and you life. (if you actually live where there is winter snow,...vs. trekking up on a snowcapped mountain on a late spring day). Pirelli*Scorpion Verde All Season”

“The only tires on your list that I have tried are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 and Pirelli P-Zero. Both provide excellent traction. I found the Pirellis to wear slightly faster than the Michelins and also to become noisy as they approach the end of their life. This isn't the case with the Michelins. The only "cheap" tires that I've tried on the 996 are Sumitomos. I won't ever do that again. I really like the way the car performs with the PS2 and I will continue to buy them.”

“I just put PZ5 on my vehicle! I live in Louisiana ! They are absolutely insanely sticky! Especially in the rain! My vehicle came with the P-zeros. I’ve had Pirelli’s on my car’s in the past and yes, Pirelli’s are soft. The trade off is sticking to the road! I am an aggressive driver & was aware the sacrifice. I have to change my tires every oil change. 9-12k miles. These PZ5’s grip in the rain. Crazy awesome! Pirelli knocked these suckers out!!! I love ‘em!!!”

“So many people seem to hate the p zero but I’ve got along with them so well, but yes they can go rock hard when they’re cold but once they’ve got some heat in them especially in the wet they grip so well for me. I have noticed though that anything below 4-5°c is when they become hard to keep heat in but once you work the tyre properly they’re brilliant. I have run them all winter on my 300bhp fwd car and can’t complain, I don’t get why no one likes them🤷‍♂️”
