Scouter Analysis

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.
