Bridgestone Dueler H/T D840

The Bridgestone Dueler H/T D840 is a practical choice for truck owners who prioritize a balance between cost and basic highway performance. Its 50,000-mile treadwear warranty is a strong point, offering peace of mind for those looking for a reliable, long-term tire option. However, the wet grip score of 5 is a notable drawback, especially for those who drive in rainy conditions, as it lags behind the category average of 6.1. In terms of dry grip and handling, the Dueler H/T D840 holds its own with scores of 7.5, close to the category average. This makes it a competent performer on dry highways. Comfort and noise levels are on par with the category norms, ensuring a ride that's neither particularly quiet nor uncomfortable. The tire's UTQG treadwear rating of 300, however, is significantly lower than the category average of 625, suggesting it may not last as long as some competitors. When compared to rivals like the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056, which offers better wet grip, the Dueler H/T D840 might not be the best choice for those prioritizing wet weather performance. For drivers who mainly stick to dry roads and are looking for a cost-effective option, this tire could be a suitable pick. However, those who frequently encounter wet conditions might want to consider alternatives like the Firestone Destination LE3 or the Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 for improved safety.
