I would like to find out how much a set of five 16inch alloy with bridgestone dueler h/t tyres would cost me? would have to be in suitable condition to put straight onto my mitsubishi L200

Mee replied: "Try the Tire Rack – you can search by vehicle make and they’ll give you all sorts of tire comparisons and cost comparisons across a variety of brands"

t3h1 replied: "Alloys range from like ВЈ200 to over ВЈ1000 so it depends on which ones you fancy."

John Paul replied: "Buy New Discount tire dot com… or Tire rack dot com. Don’t take chances with used or supposed to be good tires and rims. For less than you think delevered mounted ballanced with lug nuts bolt them on."

Anyone know anything about these tires? Bridgestone Dueller H/T 245/70/R16? We have these tires on our 2004 SUV and we need to replace them. Not sure if we should replace them with the same kind. Any suggestions?

autoguru-not replied: "Go to Tirerack.com and check for them there. Great resource for specs for specific vehicles: OEM recommends and options, as well as selection based on driving habits, geography, and price."

nvrAdulmomnt replied: "It is generally accepted that Bridgestone builds quality tires, and Duellers have been around with good success for years. If your S U V has automatic 4 wheel drive & antilock brakes/ traction control, it is almost imperative that you replace all 4 at the same time. This is due to tire diameter in relation to thhe function of those systems. Your dealer can explain this to you in depth if you are not aware of these parameters."

I have a 2006 Saturn VUE that is terrible & dangerous on slick surfaces. Besides tires what could cause this? This has been the case since the car was brand new. It now has 22,000 miles on it. I actually have 4 identical cars (company fleet) and all have the same problem. They all have Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires. The VUEs are not all wheel drive. Thank you for any advice!

PMack replied: "Assuming you don’t have any alignment issues, it’s the tires, they are the only thing that keeps the car "stuck" to the road.

I just looked at some customer reviews on those tires on tirerack.com – there are a few different HT models, and they all have poor to fair customer reviews. Check this link and pick the tire you have:

Good luck"

bob67cam replied: "u could try some decent tires like bfgoodrichs or something but otherwise no offense to yer fleet however those cars are tall and blocky and light ever try to fold up a tarp on a windy day? the basics are lot of weight = lot of trtion and a huge misnomer about fwd cars that noone really understands especially in minivans and such..when u take off the weight gets shifted to the rear losing much needed traction in the front…"

JetDoc replied: "Besides tires, the only thing that could cause a car to be "terrible and dangerous" on slick roads is the skill (or lack of it) of the driver. If your drivers are not competent to drive in winter conditions, then no tire in the world is going to improve their driving ability. Get them some winter safety training.

As for really great winter tires, check out the Bridgestone Blizzaks.

UCANTCME replied: "FROM ALL THAT I HAVE READ CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE THE TIRES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ALL COME WITH THE SAME TYPE.

I DON’T WANT TO SOUND DISRESPECTFUL BUT IT MIGHT JUST BE A DRIVER ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE IS SOMEWHAT WIDER AND THAT WOULD HANDLE ANY PROBLEMS WITH WHAT YOU ARE HAVING.

THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT WOULD AND COULD CAUSE THIS IS IF THE VEHICLES ARE OVERLOADED, OR THE LOADS ARE NOT PROPERLY LOADED AND THE LAST WOULD BE IMPROPER TIRE AIR PRESSURE."

Vince M replied: "I’m going to throw out, for discussion purposes, that you consider that it might be the way YOU drive on those slick surfaces.

MANY people fail to adjust the way they drive for different weather conditions. In other words, they drive exactly the same way on wet roads as they do on dry surfaces. They depend, too much, on the technology and equipment to keep them safe, and not consider that the operator of the vehicle has to make adjustments, because the car cannot."

do these tires look like they have pretty much the same tread style? Bridgestone Dueler H/T 689 -

Cooper Discoverer H/T -

dj_lonewolf69 replied: "lol not even close. i sell both tires at my work. true both are excellent tires. but i do prefer the cooper’s"

UCANTCME replied: "Somewhat the same but just a little in-site………don’t buy from pep boys, you will regret it….."

Derek A replied: "nah ah"

Hruth replied: "Well, they’re both highway-oriented tyres, the Bridgestones look a little more aggressive, slightly better suited (comparatively, it’s still a highway tyre) to offroad use. The more aggressive pattern will lead to slightly higher road noise though.

Coopers and Bridgestones are pretty close when it comes to quality, just get whichever you can get the best price on."

Tire Recommendations for a 2005 Toyota Highlander 4×4? I have an 05 Toyota Highlander 4×4 with the 16 inch rims.

The tire size is 225/70-16

The OEM equipment is the Bridgestone Dueler H/T D687 I have 52000 on the vehicle and I think the tires are pretty much worn out. I don’t want to buy the Bridgestone’s again so which tire do you recommend. I do mostly highway driving but it snows a few times here in the winter.

Which tire has the best tread life, low noise, and can work in all weather conditions?
I’ve searched Tire Rack but I wanted to know what Highlander users are using now.

Pedro S replied: "go to tirerack or discount tire on web to look at tires…i have kumo…they seem ok..iv used and love hercules tires..great tire even greater price."

ROBERT F replied: "I have found tire rack to be the best online research site for any type of vehicle with tons of customer and independent reviews.

loonatic72 replied: "I like cooper all-season there very long lasting and work great in rain, snow and ice."

Kyle replied: "I suggest going with Michelin LTX M&S. Much better year round traction and a top quality tire."

Patrick replied: "I have a 2001 Toyota Pre-Runner double cab…I know it isn’t a Highlander but I did have the same oem tire on mine…just a different size. I have Toyo Open Country H/T’s on my truck… they are VERY quite and I need that!!! Also they perform well in the rain…I can’t help you with a snow report…Texas driver."

DvSkV replied: "We have the same 2005 Highlander 6 cylinder AWD and ours came with TOYO TRANPATH A11 P225/70R16 101S tires. My wife happen to get a flat and the garage said the wear was poor after 30,000 miles and finding out the spare had a deluxe wheel I was first inclined just to buy a matching Toyo Tire. However, when I went to a Toyota Forum I noticed other Toyota Highlander SUV owners were all complaining about poor wear they got from Toyo tires that I Costco happen to have their semi-annual tire sale, so I bought 4 BF Goodrich Traction T/A P225/70SR16 for $104.99 each that my total came to like $383 installed with road hazard etc with the $40 Costco coupon when you buy 4 Michelin or BF Goodrich.

Hope the Above Info Helps!"

Which is safer to drive to boreal/tahoe? a 2005 Honda CR-V 5AT (real time-AWD + VSC/VSA?) with bridgestone dueler H/T tires?

OR

a LOWERED (about an inch or two [tokico blue shocks + tein H tech springs]) 2003 Toyota matrix XR FWD auto with Falken ziex 512 tires (225/45/18 or something like that) on 18"rims.?

(to be driven to tahoe ski resorts, mostly boreal.)

*i’ve raed that the tires i have on the CR-V are crappy especially in snow. and i’ve heard that the tires on my matrix are good in wet conditions. dont have money to buy new tires. seems the matrix has better tires, but low clearance and only FWD. while the CRV has AWD(at least real-time) + VSC/VSA?, a higher clearance. but crappy tires.

Saxster replied: "If there is a chance of snow or slippery conditions, I’d take the all-wheel drive car in a heartbeat, unless those tires on it are bald."
