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.

...These tires perform great on the road wet and ice...

I purchase these set to take my family skiing in PA in December 2025. I got rid of the wrappers I had, they were loud and horrible on snow and rain. I wanted to go back to the basics. These tires perform great on the road wet and ice. They are also very quiet and soft just what I wanted. They are now so they are performing great, time will tell, but for now they get 5 stars.

...The vehicle stops really well in wet rainy conditions...

I love the fact I went with a narrower tire versus stock. I got a flat tire I took it to a tire shop for them to patch it. And they ground through the wires before applying the patch. So now that tire is plugged and I know I will probably have to be buying a replacement. The vehicle stops really well in wet rainy conditions. This vehicle drives on paved surfaces only. I am pleased with the tires.

...They handle excellent in wet/dry conditions...

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!!!

...I do not recommend this tire for snow and ice, but it's an excellent truck tire for dry and wet weather.

Consider myself fortunate that Tire Rack had exactly one tire remaining on this close out model because I got one cut on a nearly new truck (5,000 miles). It's one of the two exact tires (the other is a Yokohoma) that came in 2024 Tundra TRD Sport. We've had a 3" snow followed a few days later with a 6" snow which provided the experience to properly rate the 3 questions on snow and ice. I do not recommend this tire for snow and ice, but it's an excellent truck tire for dry and wet weather.

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.
