They are on my big Bronco. Excellent all around tire. They 4x4 in sand well, do rainy pavement OK and are very nice ride.
I don't do snow, so have no idea as to they snow capability. But, if I lived in the snow states, I'd have winter tires anyway ...

Cool-that means they won't dry rot in 6 years like Michelins! Another plus!
Good one!
+ about a hundred. No more Michelins for me. They dry rot to fast ...

Stocking is another issue, but Costco seems to have recently changed their policy (for the better to me) ... "For your safety, Costco Tire Center technicians will only install tires with a load index equal to or greater to the load index listed on the placard." is displayed when selecting tires by size.

One good thing I will say about these tires that I did not mention above (I should have):
They gave decent fuel economy and were good on dry roads, without producing too much noise. They got noisier near EOL (4/32" is when we were hit and they were replaced through insurance), but were never terrible.
I expected a drop in fuel economy with the new Premier A/S tires that we opted for, and that's what happened. We vary our driving a lot and I stopped tracking mileage for a while, but did calculate MPG after each fillup. I noticed a 1-2 MPG drop with the new tires, which was a little on the high end of what I expected. IIRC, this is exacerbated at even higher highway speeds, where I used to be able to achieve 26+ MPG on our usual trip to see her family; now, we're lucky if we get 24 MPG of all-highway at ~72 MPH. Not great, but still better than the 21 MPG average I got in my STI!!!

Got Dualer H/L 400 on BMW, which are few steps above these. While no significant issues, the weight of the tire (it was RFT but compare to other RFT's) was ridiculous. Hydroplaning resistance was non existent.
All summer or all season Bridgestones I had were OK in some aspects and not OK in other.
I once asked Costco guy about these that OP posted and he said: it is cheapest brand name BS one could buy, so it is our bestselling tire.

I have Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2's on my 2012 4WD Ram, excellent tires, but I think the original Revos were slightly better in wet & snow on pavement. It's hard to tell for dure as my current truck has 4WD "Auto" but not a limited slip rear end, while my prior truck had limited slip rear end and manual transaxle.
I bought my current set at Firestone several years ago getting Firestone to match Costco sale pricing including free road hazard, even though I've never had a Costco membership.
I've been a fan of Bridgestone Duelers ever since my first set of Desert Duelers in 1988.

I've had 3 sets of the Alenza's. I found them to be a quiet,long lasting smooth riding tire.
I had multiple sets of Bridgestones duelers
they ride great but they dont last . By 35K miles
they look close to done on a 60K mile tire
