Default Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tire $100 (coupon attached)

Hi guys,

I just replaced my RX330 tires with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza (235/55R/18) for $100/tire. Firestone is providing 35% discount on their tires till Feb. 1, 2009. Just print the attached coupon to your near Firestone store and they'll be happy with a new tire for your RX.

Good Luck!!

I don't know how the Dueler H/L are, but the Dueler H/T are junk. I had Cross-Terrains for three years and although loud, they were so confident in rain and snow. Switched to the H/L at the dealer and they are quieter than the Cross Terrain but so far this winter on snow, they are not as good. Slight slippage around almost every corner. On rain is good, but haven't gone crazy on it.

The H/L series has gotten good reviews from owners. I have a set of H/Ls and I like them a lot. Quiet, smooth ride, good snow traction and a 60K warranty.

Bridgestone has the H/L, the H/L with UNI-T, and the H/L Alenza. All are different tires with the Alenza the top one. They may not have the same ride, noise and traction as the H/L does. What I have seen for reviews is the H/L Alenza is much higher rated than the H/L. I put the Alenza's on my RX in Oct. 2007 and have now gone thru one full winter and part of a another winter and am very pleased with the traction I get on snow and ice. We've had more snow this year so far than usual, actual is more than a full winter normal and we still have a couple months left. Residential streets have compacted snow and ice and I have no problem with traction. The street in front of my house runs anywhere from 2 inches to 6 inches thick with compacted snow/ice. I've driven on prairie roads that were smoother than half of our residential streets. I also stayed with the 235/55R/18 as well. It's the stock size listed but the Alenza is actually about .10 more in diameter and about .25 wider in width than the Michelin MXV4 that was on it.

I am going to replace a set tires. But the original price is $188.99 per tire. How did you get $100/tire after 35% discount?

They quoted you for the wrong tire. They have 2 different ones, an H rated and a V rated. The V rated is the one you want. They are 153.99 each then deduct the 35% and they are $100 ea. Give them a call back.

I got a set too. The tire cost $100 each but they charge fee like harzad protection for $83. Not sure what is this for?

The total cost including tax (8.825%) is up to $630.

Just want to say thanks for the coupon. My wife's rx350 didn't need tires but I did for the gs430 and my daughter's gs350. we both ordered a set of tires at a really great price. I got the bridgestone RE760's in 245/40/18F and 275/35/18R. Total cost OTD with coupon was $750 (includes road hazard!)
My daughter went with 245/40/18 all around for $700.
Btw, the same setup for my car on tirerack was 858 and that does not cover installation. Overall, I figured this coupon save me about $188

Why the replace the TPMS? Since it is attached to the rim, it is not needed to be replaced. The original one looks better than the one they put on the new tire.

I bought 4 Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tires for $455.30 (that includes tires, install, balance, & tax). Can't beat that deal. I think it expired today.

You decline the new rubber valve stem fee and tire disposal fee? How did you do, just ask them waive it?
