Bridgestone Dueler H/T 840

Perfect tyre for the family 4WD – Affordable 'brand name' tyre. Not the best tyre on the market, but definitely great value. Fitted to family car, quiet ride. Stopping and wet weather performance could be better, but much better than any cheap no-name tyre. Paid roughly only $20 per tyre more compared to a no-name tyre. Perfect for the family 4WD that actually doesn't get used as a 4WD!  Show details

2015 Triton - OEM Tyre – Tyres done 60,000klm. Slight front left feathering on outside - probably due to low pressure. Overall a v good tyre - This set should last till 90,000klms+. I drive like an old codger so never had any loss of traction in wet or dry. Used on the beach a few times and not fantastic, but acceptable. Bit skittish on the dirt, but after all they… Read more

are H/T.

Easy to buy cheap second hand from sellers upgrading new vehicles to A/T's.

I will go them again when needed.

Good in the dry & sand, reasonably quiet – Had 3 sets of these tyres across two D-Max utes. Always changed for a new set early at 25,000-30,000km so never driven them with much wear showing - they'd last at least double that easily. Run the pressures lowish (28-30) when not towing which results in excess wear but the ride is smoother and as I change tyres frequently it doesn't bother me.… Read more

They are good in the dry and give a quiet ride on coarse chip seal and rough roads. Also been good enough on gravel and in soft sand (only if deflated down low), haven't had one peel off a rim in the sand yet.

Hard braking in wet weather on the front axle isn't the best when towing, especially with the canopy also fully loaded - I think some other tyres may do better but lack of weight on the front axle is the main issue. Normal braking in the wet when towing is fine.

Cornering in the wet when towing is also OK and never had any loss of control towing or otherwise. I just leave plenty of space in front of me for braking when towing in the wet.

I've almost never used 4H in the wet like some reviewers below, only in really torrential rain or in the snow.

I have found them quite bad in the mud when I've had a trailer on the back but they aren't really designed for that.

Overall I'm happy enough with these tyres to stick with them through 3 sets, you could easily make them last a long time and if you don't expect too much from an unloaded/loaded ute in the wet you'll be fine.

Dangerous & Not good in wet! – I was recommended these tyres by local tyre place, I had to wait a few days to get them ordered in which was fine as I thought I was getting a decent set of tyres. Few weeks in, and it rained both my partner and I have had the new tyres slipping in wet unexpectedly. We have never had this issue with previous tyres on the same vehicle. Not a good… Read more

thing with kids in the car. I wouldn’t recommend these tyres for safe driving especially in wet rainy conditions.

Best tyre and the dealer I perched front are the best in Bacchus Marsh their service after job is the best they call you back rotate the tyres they check the air they do wheal aliment very good service. Show details

Great tyre for all seasons – Had new 840's fitted when purchasing Isuzu, D Max twin cab Ute. Have tricked up car with roof racks, bull bar, 70 ltr fridge freezer and sliding drawers, pulling a 25 ft van around Aus, have just got 75,000 klms and due to be replaced. Best tyres I have ever had.  Show details

100K PLUS TYRE – This is a all round tyre, with general maintenance, air pressure, rotation, wheel alinement I achieved 105k kms in 4 years. Good riding, low noise, good traction in dry and wet conditions. Can not fault, have order 2nd set replacement. Has good load and strong side walls. Show details

Good but not Great – these tyres do not seem durable long term and they definitely have great handling and tread but they just don't seem to last long enough compared to other similarly priced brands. note I did buy these brand new, so a secondhand set of these may make a very great choice.  Show details

Default tyre on Pajero – These tyres have good grip, handling and braking. Over several sets have had no quality problems. But..... never had good durability, typically 35,000km per set. Price is high for that mileage. $320 ea list price. $280 if on special. On a heavy vehicle such as Pajero, I would not put cheap tyres, so have had to just grin and bear the cost.  Show details

These tyres scare me, my life is not worth it – Tyres fitted as manufacturer's standard and for the first 35k kms they seemed to be not too bad although limited exposure to any serious off road. From 35k kms onwards the problems really arose, particularly in the wet. Tyres simply lose grip unexpectedly on the corners, especially if you touch any painted road lines. Similar problems taking off… Read more

on a slope from standstill on bitumen. it just sits there and spins until you back right off and start again. Having driven many vehicles over 45 years of driving I have never been this fearful driving in the wet. While only two thirds worn I won't be waiting for something tragic to happen and will be replacing them as fast as I can.

great mileage 160k+ – original tyres on the ute no problems at all been all over the place, took it over to tassy did the whole place . i just rotate the rear to front now and again.They are getting a bit down now on the wear marker i will replace them after x mass. i am a really steady driver maybe thats made them last  Show details

Woefully inadequate both in the wet and off road – These tyres came fitted when we bought our 2016 Toyota Landcruiser. They seem fine in the dry and don't produce much road noise at any speed. However in the wet they become a different tyre altogether. They don't cause the car to under or oversteer but they do cause the entire car to slip sideways. This has happened several times at speeds of… Read more

under 30mph on roundabouts. I find it impossible to have faith in them when cornering in the wet. We used them off road a month or so ago in the Scottish Highlands and they were fine on rock/boulders and straight forward river crossings. They were useless in mud or on wet grass, providing no grip/traction whatsoever. We will definitely change them for a different tyre as soon as they need changing due to wear. Save your money and look for something else.

A great tyre when you need mileage – Tyres were standard on my 2013 ISUZU MU-X. They have done a whooping 110 000kms before showing signs of serious wear. I am fitting the same tyre again. The handling has been exceptionally superb for a standard tyre. Might have slight gripping issues ,when threading is low, in wet weather. Highly recommended! Good on you Bridgestone.  Show details

Great tyre – These came standard, and after 75,000 kms I have just replaced them - with the sportier version of the same tyre. A great tyre, that gets good distance. While they were getting low at 75,000kms, they definitely weren't in desperate need of being changed over, which I couldn't believe. Highly recommended.  Show details

Fully recommend – These tyres came standard when we purchased our new 2013 Isuzu d Max 4x4 duel cab diesel. We have traveled 60,000kms, 40,000 of this towing a 2.5t duel axle caravan. On dry and wet roads as well as on tar and dirt. We went in to order new tyres only to b told we have another 10,000 to 15,000 still left on the tread. Definitely ordering the same when required. Well done Bridgestone!  Show details

Absolutely shocking – These are std on 2015 Colorado, (4x4 dual cab pick up with about 200 kg of tools in the tray) they are about to be replaced after 37,000klm, only 4 mm of tread left on them. They are average on dry roads, an absolute shocker in the wet ever since they were new. Need to be in H4 on wet roads, have to use L4 when doing hill starts in the wet with trailer on, only just get of the mark on steep hills. What a joke Bridgestone even make these.  Show details

Amazing wear from a standard tyre – Came standard on my 2015 Pajero and got 63000km with another 5000km remaining before vehicle written off in hail storm. Included some gravel road work and towing 2t caravan. Same tyre on my new Pajero and currently 66000km with 5000-10000 still remaining. Never any problems in the wet and incredible wear!  Show details

Though quiet, poor wear and very average in wet – I rotate every 5000kms but noticed severe wear after 20000kms on 2 of the tyres. The ute has done minimal off-road and used mainly on highway and city driving. I personally drive quite steady so I'm disappointed about the wear. Performance on dry is fine but in the wet is whole new beast. Gets very light footed and slips out at low speed… Read more

stopping and cornering.

Spoke with the old boy who is a retired owner/operator of the tyre industry for over 50 years, and confirmed Bridgestone tyres are (in his words) rubbish. He suggested Toyo (what he is currently driving), Hankook (underrated but performs well), Cooper (though a bit overpriced) & Yokohama (performs well but does have road noise)

Going to give Toyo Open Country U/T a run and hope for better performance as after 30000kms I'm sick of the Bridgestones

A decent highway tyre – Came on the Colorado from the dealer in 2013. 65,000kms and haven't noticed any slipping or sliding in wet. Had them off road a few times and was surprised at the capability climbing and descending steep dirt hills (dry weather only) There are limitations in that scenario thats why upgrading to A/Ts  Show details

Worst Tyre ever – On a new Holden Colorado 2016 feels like it wants to step out in the dry but it does step out in the wet last rain had it sideways twice at 95 Km per hour not a comforting feeling going in for 15000k service tomorrow wont be picking in back up till they agree to change tyres  Show details

Be very careful with these tires – Came as a stock on my mu-x...drove about 30,000KM...its not great on wet performance, also tire slides during sharp corners... I can literally feel the tires skipping during 80km turns, thank god i have stability and traction control inside the vehicle...i will probably switch these tires as soon as i come up with money...its not safe for my… Read more

family...no wonder people just sell these tires once they receive the car from the dealer..

I will probably buy hankook dynapro HT or kumho crugen for my next tires..

Very good OE Tyres! – The D840 came as standard on my Chevy Colorado Z71 2014 and they are a very good tyre. I haven't had them long, so I don't know about durability. However in heavy rain they perform great and you feel like glued to the road. Don't understand the negative comments on the wet performance... I have tried them off road as well (no mud bogging or rock climbing) on dry and muddy trails and they perform surprisingly well.  Show details

Great tyres for a 4WD Ute for General Purpose use – The tyres have been on a new Colorado diesel ute for 65,000 kms. They have performed well on long trips and around town and have been very satisfactory on short periods of serious 4WD tracks. They are quiet and the car handles well with them on. Now as the rears are close to needing replacement wet weather performance from the rear tyres has fallen off a bit. This only happened after about 60,000kms.  Show details ·  1

horrible tyre in wet condition – Have the Triton with this product, quite on the road and easy steering as well. However it can be killed by wet condition, I have to switch 4H of my triton if driving on the raining days, thanks for triton comes with super select 4WD, otherwise I must to replace AT 265 to instead.  Show details

Dangerous in wet weather – These would have to be the worst tyres I have ever had, they were on my Triton when purchased, so I looked up the specs for them and they claim excellent in wet weather, so I thought thats good, will keep my young family safe, but that soon went out the window with the first wet road we come across. Bridgestone should be fined for false advertising, I have never felt so unsafe on the roads in the wet. Avoid at all costs  Show details

Worst wet weather tyre made – I have a brand new Mitsubishi Challenger so tyres are new and they are the Bridgestone HT and are down right dangerous in the wet. Bridgestone should be made to pay for tyre changes on all vehicles fitted with the HT tyre due to how dangerous they are in the wet. This needs to be taken further as i have already seen the same concern on this site with the exactly same car.

Worst wet road tyres ever – Have the Bridgestone Duellers AT on my Mitsubishi Challenger and consider myself to be a sensible cautious driver. I find that these tyres are not only noisy on the bitumen at any speed over 60klm but more importantly absolutely deadly in the wet. Had a vehicle suddenly change lanes in front of me causing me to serve to avoid an accident it was… Read more

raining at the time and the roads were fairly wet.

Vehicle went into a almost uncontrolled drift as it floated across two lanes just lucky there was little traffic on the road at the time otherwise there would have been a serious accident. I consider these tyres to be dangerous especially on roundabouts in the wet. I am well aware of the problem and drive very cautiously at all times but especially in the wet. When these tyres need replacing I will definitely not replace them with the same tyres but instead hunt around for a safer tyre irrespective of cost.

Pointless choice. Reasonable price and noise apart, excels on nothing – This HT840 tyres are amount the most popular OEM choices for utes and 4wd. They come stock on Mitsubishi, Isuzu, many Toyota, Holden, sometimes you even found them on Ranger/BT50. I had these tyres on my stock Triton GLX-R for a few months. I couldn't wait to upgrade to a better wheel and tyre package. Partly due to the narrower width on… Read more

Triton tyre spec (245/65/17 rather than the more popular 265/65/17 on most other rivals), the grip on dry road is just adequate. You need to be careful when you approach a corner, especially in wet. Mid corner bumps can also be a worry as it is unable to retrieve grip instantly. The car may feel like it's floating other than rolling on the road. Don't tell me I should never drive fast in a one tonner. I can feel where the problem is from and I can corner a lot faster and safer on a set of good All terrains -- I don't drive too fast anyway, lots of tradies driving fully loaded $500 shxx utes overtaking me every day.

As it was designed for HT you wouldn't expect too much from off road performance either. The treadwear grade on these tyres are only 300, which is not at all impressive in these kind of tyres. Most rivals come around 400-500. Although the actual wearing varies on how you drive and maintain the tyres. But still I can get a set of Kumho KL51 with 500+ treadwear grade for identical money. Yep, you guess right I did run a set of 2nd hand KL51 on my rear wheels for the last 15k. I wouldn't say the Kumho performs much better than the Dueler but I couldn't notice much wear difference on the Kumhos before and after.

The good part of the Dueler is the ride and road noise, that's where the 2 stars came from. Apart from those and the price, the D840 is very ordinary. It's pointless to choose these tyres on a new car as they are not the cheapest nor better than anyone. There are better choices in the market that deserve to be put onto a new car from the factory. A Goodyear EfficientGrip is an all round superior alternative for only a fraction of more money.

Outstanding Highway Tyres for a large SUV – Purchased New Mitsubishi Challenger in May 2012 fitted with Bridgestone D840 highway tyres. Have now travelled 70,000 kms, rotating all 5 wheels each 15,000 kms. Outstanding wear and expect to get over 100,000 kms before replacement needed. Excellent steering, braking and stability in the wet and dry. All kms have been on sealed roads. Will definitely replace with Bridgestone ecopia when the time comes.  Show 2 replies

Deadly in the wet – $1600 wasted buying five tyres which have to be replaced. No issues on dry roads but deadly in the wet. I do not trust these tyres as they step sideways at the hint of rain, less than 30kph on a roundabout and the tail is stepping out. Towing 2500kg caravan. Back to Yokohama, Kelly or Mitchelin ltx/at2 for wet weather rating and ultimate safety

Good Road Tyre – Got them as OEM on my 2010 Triton GLX R 4x4 twin cab. After 73,000klms, mostly road, little rough 4x4 and some beach they are only just legal. Need to replace them now and was considering the exactly the same tyre profile etc. Seems like they want $370 a pop however the 265/65 - R17 (112S) are $240 a pop. Any ideas / feedback on why the wider tyre is cheaper

Good value. Not the best out there however – OEM on Isuzu DMAX Good all round tyre. Have had 4 x 4s for thirty years with many different types of tyres. Agreed Nitos or Micky Thompsons or Cooper better tyre however the Bridgys can be bought for about $240 and thats nearly half the price of the others. They will do the 40,000km rated on the road and some off roading no problems. Have not had road noise issues or wet weather issues with these tyres (maybe its the DMAX!!!).

Long lasting but a little road noise. Handles road well Show details
