Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685The Dueler H/T 685 is Bridgestone's heavy-duty Highway All-Season tire developed for drivers of full-size pickup trucks, vans, crossovers and sport utility vehicles looking for a hard-working, dependable tire that delivers confident all-season performance.

Designed to deliver long-lasting performance, the Dueler H/T 685 features a specifically designed footprint that equally distributes the load in order to promote even wear and a symmetric tread pattern for easy rotation. Four wide, circumferential grooves help to channel water through the footprint to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The independent tread blocks and deep sipes are engineered to provide the biting edges needed for light snow traction.

The Dueler H/T 685's robust performance begins on the inside, with twin, heavy-duty steel belts engineered to stabilize the tread for towing and hauling heavy loads and a two-ply polyester cord casing to help cushion the ride.

Customers Say

Ratings highlight excellence in the Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685's highway-focused performance. Treadwear receives praise for durability (many 8-10 scores), though a few note uneven wear. Comfort stands out with smooth, quiet rides (8-10 in noise/ride scores). Winter traction is generally reliable in light snow (7-10 ratings), but ice performance shows mixed results. Wet traction earns consistent 7-10 scores for secure handling and hydroplaning resistance. Dry traction shines as a clear strength, with near-perfect 9-10 ratings for stability and responsiveness. Customers highlight its confident highway manners and all-season versatility, though a minority report treadwear inconsistencies. Overall satisfaction leans positive, particularly for drivers prioritizing dry-road performance and comfort.

...They handle excellent in wet/dry conditions, and in light to moderate snow as well...

Was looking for a factory-style raised white letter replacement tire, but the exact ones are no longer made. These came up in my research, and seemed like a good deal for the price and based on other people's Ratings, as well as the fact Bridgestone tires are a well known brand. I Have had them for 3 years now, and they are EXCELLENT for the purchase price. They handle excellent in wet/dry conditions, and in light to moderate snow as well. They are very smooth and quiet riding too. Would definitely recommend them , especially if you don't want to spring for a much more expensive set of tires, (like Michelins for example, Which of course are among the best). Only thing for me is they are BLACKWALL tires, but they still look OK on my truck. I'm actually buying two more now to replace the front ones, only due to a recent suspension/alignment issue which caused some uneven wear, but the tires otherwise still looked and still ride like NEW after 20K miles with lots of tread left. Got lucky, as these are now on CLOSEOUT special, like 50% off. They still have like only 10 left now as of this writing, so if you need a set CHEAP now's the time to buy them!! Definitely recommended!!!

...In the rain, they have no problem with grip even at 4/32. I was driving through a storm one morning and the truck felt planted and controlled while going down the highway...

These were the Ford OEM tires when I purchased the Ranger. No complaints about the tire other than the fast treadwear. The tires have just under 26k miles on them with 4/32" tread left. More than likely they will need to be replaced at the 30k mile mark. The truck has always been serviced by Ford so the tires were rotated on schedule and always kept at the correct pressure. I have done no towing, little hauling and the occasional trips to the jobsite on these tires. Other than that, it is mainly city or highway driving. I will say the tires are quiet, handle and respond well and track great down the highway (grooved pavement too). In the rain, they have no problem with grip even at 4/32". I was driving through a storm one morning and the truck felt planted and controlled while going down the highway. I have not tried these in the snow and I doubt I will as the tread depth is getting low.

Overall, I like the tire I just wish they didn't wear out so fast.

This tire is exceptional in the snow or heat...

This tire is exceptional for trucks in the 3/4 ton and 1 ton size. I drive in some of the most extreme conditions and haul a 2 ton backhoe. This tire is exceptional in the snow or heat. I am so impressed by the performance of this tire that when they hit 100K I will put this same tire right back on it. Want a 100K tire, then this is the one.

...Low noise and a very comfortable ride.

I opted for this tire size because of cost. The 70 series side wall has a little more body roll and the steering is not as responsive as the 65 series side wall original equipment tire.
This was to be expected. overall very happy with this tire. Low noise and a very comfortable ride.

I bought the same tires 5 years ago. And tread still in great shape. Because the passenger side tire blow out from metal in the road. I'm replacing both front tires and using the one good one as the spare. Staying with what I trust.
