The Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400 is a Highway Luxury (H/L) all-season tire engineered for crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks that demand a refined, quiet ride with confident year-round performance. Trusted as original equipment by leading automakers including Acura, Audi, BMW, Honda, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, and Toyota, the Dueler H/L 400 sets the benchmark for premium on-road comfort, long-lasting tread life, and all-season capability on paved surfaces.
Key Features & Technologies:
- 5-Pitch Tread Sequence: Computer-optimized tread block sequencing cancels opposing sound wave patterns, delivering a noticeably quieter, more refined highway experience
- O-Bead Construction: Bridgestone's proprietary single-strand bead wire technology increases structural rigidity, reduces vibration transfer, and sharpens straight-line stability and steering precision
- Jointless Cap Ply: Advanced casing construction promotes a smoother, more consistent ride while enhancing high-speed stability and long-term durability
- Siped Tread Blocks: Strategically placed sipes provide additional biting edges across the contact patch for improved wet traction without sacrificing ride comfort
- Circumferential Grooves: Wide channels actively evacuate water from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and maintain confident wet-weather handling
- Long Link Carbon Tread Compound: A specially formulated all-season rubber compound incorporating Long Link Carbon technology resists cuts, cracks, and abrasions while remaining pliable across a wide temperature range — delivering dependable dry, wet, and light winter traction
- Symmetrical Non-Directional Tread Pattern: Enables flexible tire rotation in any configuration for more even treadwear and an extended service life
Run-Flat Technology (Select Variants): Certain configurations in this line are available with Run-Flat Technology (RFT), featuring reinforced sidewalls constructed from special heat-resistant rubber. These sidewalls support the vehicle's weight even after a complete loss of air pressure, allowing continued driving for a limited distance — providing peace of mind on vehicles without a full-size spare.
All-Season Performance: The Dueler H/L 400 is rated for all-season use across dry, wet, and light winter conditions. It is not intended for severe winter environments and does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) designation. It is best suited for drivers in moderate climates who prioritize on-road comfort and refinement.
Warranty & Guarantee: The Dueler H/L 400 line is backed by Bridgestone's Platinum Pact Limited Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Bridgestone also offers a 90-Day Buy and Try Guarantee, providing a full exchange if you are not completely satisfied. Treadwear mileage warranty coverage varies by individual size — refer to specific size listings for applicable terms.
