Our take

The Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685 is a practical choice for truck owners prioritizing wet grip and handling in a highway all-season tire. Its wet grip score of 7 exceeds the category average, ensuring dependable performance in rainy conditions. The tire's handling score of 7.5 aligns with category expectations, providing a stable ride on highways. However, the Dueler H/T 685 falls short in treadwear, with a rating of 520 compared to the category average of 625. This suggests a shorter lifespan, which is partially mitigated by a 50,000-mile warranty. Competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3 offer a more generous 70,000-mile warranty, potentially offering better long-term value. For buyers focused on budget and wet performance, the Dueler H/T 685 is a solid pick. However, those seeking a longer-lasting tire with higher speed capabilities might consider alternatives like the Firestone Destination LE3 or the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056.

Pros

  • Treadlife rating of 7.7 with a 50,000-mile warranty, though below the category average of 61,048 miles, is still a solid offering for its price point.
  • Wet grip score of 7 surpasses the category average of 6.1, making it a reliable choice for rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 matches the category's expectations, providing stable performance for highway driving.

Cons

  • The low treadwear rating of 520 could lead to more frequent replacements, increasing long-term costs.
  • Treadwear rating of 520 is slightly below the category average of 625, which may impact long-term durability.
  • The Firestone Destination LE3 offers a higher treadwear warranty at 70,000 miles, providing potentially better value for long-term use.
  • Speed rating of 'R' limits its suitability for higher-speed applications compared to some competitors with higher ratings.
