Just bought 4 Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza 225/65R17 by srizvi1

I just purchased 4 Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza 225/65R17 tires from the Firestone in Columbia, MD. We had one of our OEM Continental tires go flat this morning and rather than patch just one tire (if possible), we decided to replace all 4 since the car was close to 57,650 miles w/ these tires and pretty worn out. Because of the limited selection of what was available in the area, I went with these because it was our best option on local availability. We only had a few options around town. I could have ordered, but really wanted to get this done w/ today and felt ordering wouldn't be that much better if I could pull of a price match.
 
I checked out the tire rack reviews for this tire and they seemed pretty positive. Wal-mart had 4 of the other Duelers (the Bridgestone Dueler H/T), but they were reviewed pretty badly. I'm guessing/hoping that is what all these negative comments are in response to.
 
I wanted to lean towards the Michelins because both the Latitude/Crossover tires were well reviewed and you could do some crazy cash back with them - esp if you bought from Costco (Secret $60 Michelin Tire Rebate - Up to $190 discount off 4 tires purchased before May 31st (YMMV): http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=100363&t=1331105 ) but Costco didn't have any in stock that I could work with and if I ordered them from online, the price they were at were already more expensive than Tirerack.coms.
 
Anyways, if anyone is interested, Firestone had these tires at $154 a tire and matched tirerack.com's $144 price. All 4 tires w/ fees came out to $617.96.
 
I then took them to walmart to mount/balance for $50 even to have the lifetime rotation and balance.
 
I'm curious to know if any of the cheaper, $100ish tires, are good. I could have saved somewhere around $200 if I was to find something close to $100 but I just assumed that everything around $150 is what I would want.
 
Thoughts?

Although not widely available at B&M outfits, but readily available online at tirerack and discount tire, Yokohama Avid Touring are a great tire at a sub-$100 pricetag.

Replacement tires for 2002 CRV by tjs01

I currently have Goodyear Triple treads on the vehicle. They are getting worn. They have been an OK tire, but they are noisy and I would prefer non-directional tires that be rotated to all 4 corners. I live in Michigan so snow/ice traction is an important factor. Anyone with suggestions?

ah, if I had more time, maybe I would have gone for those and saved a little bit of money.
 
I do need to replace all 4 tires in our family's blue 2004 Accord sedan 4-cyl. Maybe I should look into these for that car if they are the cheapest.

They are not the cheapest. You can get Chinese or Korean made tires for even less, but you may as well up yor life insurance policy.
 
Yokohamas are US made.

I hear you. My wife has 60K miles in her 2004 CRV and is on the way to the dealer now to replace the 3rd cracked wheel! There needs to be a recall on this, it's not safe to have welds cracking on wheels!

I am sure if there are enough people having their wheels crack, NTSB would be involved in the investigation. Has it been reported to NTSB?
