Bridgestone Tires

Bridgestone developed the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus as an All-Season tire for drivers of sport utilities, crossovers, and light-duty pickups. The stylishly designed Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tire is durable, fuel-efficient and delivers all-season traction even in light snowy conditions. Irregular shoulder blocks combine with continuous center rib help to improve steering response and road stability. The wide circumferential grooves, horizontal notches, and sipes provide better traction during foul weather. The matching steel belts covered with spirally wound nylon on the interior structure of the tire, provide support beneath the tread area, while polyester cords provide stability for the sidewalls leading to improve ride quality. The Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tire is designed with UNI-T AQ™II Tech that allows it to deliver superb wet handling during wear. Genuine black sidewall allows the tire to retain its blackness even with prolonged wear. The Dueler H/L Alenza Plus comes with a 60,000 mile (100,000 km) tread wear rating. NOTE: Although Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season light truck tires provide all-season flexibility such as light snow traction, tire sizes with unusually wide tread depths may limit the deep snow traction capability of this particular type of tire.

The Bridgestone Alenza HL tire is an all season touring tire created for Crossover Utility Vehicles and Sport Utility Vehicles alike.

The technology uses dual layer tread compounds that help to resist hardening of the tread rubber. The tire features a special high grip rubber that can be found under the tread. This rubber is exposed as the tire wears offsetting the effects of wear and heat on the tire and thus protecting its ability to maintain wet traction even after tire wear. The Bridgestone Alenza HL features a symmetric tread design that helps to reduce ride noise and enhance the comfort of the occupants of the vehicle. With a continuous center rib and large shoulder blocks these tires are very responsive and stable on highways. They also feature wide circumferential grooves with lateral sipes and notches that increase traction in stormy weather. Internally the Bridgestone Alenza HL features two steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon in W and V speed rated sizes. This provides support beneath the tread area and polyester cords help to enhance the quality of the ride while stabilizing the sidewalls.
