Thoughts on the Bridgestone Dueler AT?

[swathdiver]

I'd like to change out the HL's for some AT's on the Denali

Someone will buy the old tires locally. Get rid of them slipping and sliding tires asap. You know which one I like and why.

These are what came on my 2016 Denali and, while they are “Ok” on dry roads, they aren’t good in the snow at all. I have 35,*** miles on mine with about 45-50% tread left and in about .25” of snow I slid past my house by 100’ or so 2 days ago - ABS kicking the whole time. I’ve been considering dumping these for Michelin Defenders for a while now, but didnt want to get rid of tires with so much tread left. Needless to say, I ordered the Michelins today and will be Happily dumping the Duelers.

So how’s the Michelin compares with the Bridgestone ? Do you see a difference ? Please share your experience as I am about to pull the trigger on a Michelin set and I currently have Bridgestone

I just got them put on Friday and I can say, unequivocally, it’s a completely different vehicle. If I was GM, I would immediately stop putting Bridgestones on the Yukon - they just aren’t the right tire for it. The Michelins are quieter, more compliant, and more comfortable. There are sections of my ride to and from work that made the Yukon “squirrelly” or were excessively loud with the Bridgestones, but not with the Michelins. I knew tires could make a difference in ride quality, but I never imagined it could make this big of a difference. I’m legitimately astonished at the improvement.

I'll second this - Almost exact identical experience after installing Michelin LTX M/S 285/45/22's on my '15 Denali XL. Was overly impressed by just how much impact the tire had on ride quality and overall handling in a good way.

I installed Dualer A/T 285/45r22 on my suburban to replace the HT who only had 5k miles.
I loved the way they looked after I saw them on a sierra denali offroad package.
so far we used them 90% for on road and they are softer than the HT, I do like the way they ride.
I cant speak about how long they will last, my guess is not as much as other but I am fine with it as I plan on putting some 305/45r22 after.
We used them quite a bit on dirt road and sandy/dusty condition and I do like them a lot more than the H/T for this purpose.

So I must be the only one who is liking them

I have also liked the Dueler A/T2's that I have had on other SUV's. They were a good option in between a street tire and an all terrain tire. Good wear for me and good traction, plus they aren't usually priced as high as any Michelin (or the DuraTrac, AT-KO2 or any MTR) tire. Michelin makes good tires but you definitely pay a premium for them, IMO.
