I have installed this tire on Two different vehicles in the past Three months. One is used in daily service work. A heavy loaded Van. Has a good ride and fairly quiet ride. Vehicle handles good and has good wet weather handling as well. Had the M700HD's prior to this tire. It's on the Highway most of the time, opted for the All Season tire this time around. Bridgestone is one of the best Light and Heavy Truck Tire in my opinion. Have used various ones for Years.
Vehicle #2. Had to replace Two Nexen tires that had internal issues on the front of truck at 7,900 Miles. Replaced them with the R500 HD Bridgestone Duravis Tire. Since the Nexen tire is prone to premature failure, I decided to replace the rear tires as well. Again I put the same R500 HD's on the rear axle as well. They have a good ride and are quiet as well. With Bridgestone's reputation and quality I feel much safer driving this Pick Up Truck on any Road. Yes some people prefer Michelin Tires, and they are a good Tire. I have always found them to have cracks in various places on there Tires.
