OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Dueler H/T 689 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for SUVs. It has some touring, passenger vehicles sizes as well. Bridgestone offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty.
The tire compound used in the manufacture of the model and the special tread design provide the tire with extra all weather traction. Even in winter conditions, the tire grips the road well and it does not lose its traction in colder weather. The tire is resistant to hydroplaning as its wet traction is remarkable and the tread grooves disperse water from under the tire in rainy weather. The tire is safe to use year-round thanks to this enhancement.
This tire offers a longer lasting tread life. The tire's tread, when new, starts between 11/32 to 15/32 depending on the size purchased. The driving pressure, in other words the force of acceleration, braking and cornering, is equally distributed along the tread area, which prevents irregular wear along the tread. As the tread does not wear out unevenly, the tire is usable for a longer period of time and it is more cost efficient.
Control over the tire and its performance is also improved. The shoulder tread blocks provide additional biting edges during cornering, increasing its cornering ability and power. As the tire grips the road better in those situations, cornering and maneuvering become safer in all weather conditions. The tire is easier to control thanks to the upgraded steering responsiveness. The superb precision and responsiveness of the tire is due to the tread pattern, which maintains constant road contact. The tire is in contact with the road continuously, which enables it to react swiftly to the commands of the driver.
The Dueler H/T 689 also offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tire's optimized tread design cancels out the road noise created while the tire is in transit, making the drive more enjoyable for the passengers.
