Dueler H/T 685
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Wrangler Workhorse AT 2
Not enough owner reviews yet to extract themes.
Tire B Dueler H/T 685
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.'
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.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
