Snow?

[W13NY]

Anyone know how the Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires are in snow? Expecting up to 6 inches tonight (first snow since I got the truck).

I wouldn't expect too much... as highway all seasons, they're marginal at best in snow. With that said, take it slow in 4H and you should be fine.

Sub par at best...

Fwiw, we've had 13" in the last week and never felt under confident...But mine will be swapped out for next winter.

Assuming your Minnesota by the name. My colleague has an office there he told me you guys are expecting a lot more tonight.

As with most 4WD vehicles, going is easy. On these tires, it's the stopping that's hard - and that's why eventually the Blizzak or XICE or other winter tire becomes if not a necessity, certainly a beneficial purchase.

Just took my truck up mammoth mountain over the weekend in between snow storms. I was very pleased with handling of stock bridgestones tires in 4w high. Was going 55 to 65 mph on the highway completely covered in snow, and with fresh snow falling, no problem. Never had to put chains on, although I had them. Definitely stopping distance, turning while accelerating, and how hard can you brake is what you should lookout for. Allow extra distance and go easy on the acceleration.

Thanks for all the info everyone - always good to know before driving it in the snow for the first time.

Yes sir! We are getting a real winter this year.

Lol - good thing you have the RAM.

It worked well today for me - mostly ice but a couple inches of snow too - good traction for the most part.
