How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 6 owner reviews found online.
With only four brief reviews, user consensus on the Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685 is limited and divided. One owner reported a serious high-speed stability problem, while others were pleased with early handling and were loyal to the Dueler line. Overall impressions lean favorable but rest on very little detail.
Pros
- Handling was described as good in early use on a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, after only about 1,000 miles.
- One owner chose the tire over Michelin and expressed hope for tread life that matches or beats the roughly 50,000 miles they got from their Michelins.
- Brand loyalty was evident, with one reviewer stating they are 'hooked on Duelers.'
- One reviewer praised the purchase and installation process, noting good communication throughout.
Cons
- One owner reported aggressive swaying, described as fishtailing, on freeway surfaces with linear grooves, which they found frightening.
- The same owner felt compelled to replace the tires on a brand-new vehicle, which they considered a significant cost and disappointment.
Worth knowing
- The stability complaint came from a new Toyota Tundra Platinum, where the tires were fitted as original equipment. The report points to sensitivity to grooved pavement on a modern full-size pickup.
- A 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 owner reported good early handling, though with only about 1,000 miles of use. No tire sizes were provided in any review, so size-specific conclusions cannot be drawn.
