Best all season tire, pics and write-up
 

I saw someone asking about the best all season tire and I think this one is one of the best. The rain traction is incredible as well.</P>


I got the Bridgestone "HL" tire and they are NICE!</P>


For those of you that remember, I posted a few weeks ago on the Goodyear fortera. In person that tire looks super skinny - it has roudned sidewalls which make it look not so beefy. Even in 275/70/16 it look skinnier than the stock tires.</P>


The bridgestone "HL" is the only Suv tire with a 60k treadwear waranty, besides the new Fortera tire. These are NOT the same as the stock Bridgestones that come on some 4Runners. These have a 460 treadwear rating. The have a really sweet sidewall and ride super smooth. I had them in the rain yesterday and there is no comparision to the stock tires, (RT/S), these are amazing. They are also aover an INCH wider than the stock tires in the same size!</P>

They have "UNI T" technology in them. As the tire wears down, different rubber compounds are exposed... This lets the tire perform as good as new when they wear down.</P>

Here is a quote from Consumer reports, "We've since tested another contender that ties for best overall performance: the Bridgestone Dueler H/L, $96. Like the top-scoring BF Goodrich, the Bridgestone performed extremely well in the tests we weight most heavily--braking, handling, and hydroplaning."</P>

The "HL" doesn't have that knobby tread like an AT tire. It's a tire that is good in all overall conditions and super smooth. </P>


I wanted a good performing tire, and a tire that looked great too. I don't do offroading, except occasional snow fun. </P>


I recommend this tire to anyone that wants a smooth long lasting tire with good/sporty looks. It also comes in white letters if you choose to use them :D</P><edited><editID>Jason B</editID><editDate>38329.6079513889</editDate></edited>
