Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Longer lasting tread; Fuel efficient tire; Reduced road noise; Vibration free drive; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus is an all season touring tire, manufactured for SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes as well. Bridgestone offers 55,000 mile tread wear warranty with W speed rated sizes and an 80,000 mile tread wear warranty with T, H and V speed rated sizes of this model.The tire's polymer tread slows the tread wear rate down. The reinforced tread wears out slower, while the equally distributed force of acceleration, braking and cornering prevents irregular wear on the tire. These two factors together enhance the tire's tread life, extending its usability. This makes the tire more cost efficient. The lower rolling resistance of the tire further slows the tread wear down, while making the tire more environmentally friendly. The lessened rolling resistance reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the vehicle, so that the tire is both economically and ecologically friendly.The tire's excellent steering responsiveness is the result of the constantly maintained road contact, made possible by the continuous center rib of the tread pattern. This is further improved with the reinforced sidewalls of the model offering greater stability. The tire keeps its shape under the driving pressure improving its safety. The more precise and swift steering precision enables the driver to react quicker and more confidently to the differing road conditions, making the tire safer.This model has great all weather traction, including in light winter weather. It grips the road well in dry, wet and winter conditions and it makes wet weather driving safer. The tread grooves help resist hydroplaning in dangerous situations by eliminating water from below the tire footprint.The Dueler H/L Alenza Plus offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience as the optimized tread pattern design and sidewall configuration reduce the road noise and vibration levels. The road noise is lowered as the air waves are channeled through the tread, while the tire absorbs the shock of driving, lessening the vibrations felt in the cabin of the vehicle. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
