Need a review on the Bridgestone Dueler ht 684 ii's - Toyota 4Runner Forum

JPL · 09-26-2019, 12:45 PM

Hi all, I need a review on the Bridgestone Dueler ht 684 ii's....I did a search here and looking online and there are a lot of conflicting reviews. There're good, bad, great, terrible, good in light snow, bad in snow etc.

For my purpose I need a good road tire, one that's good in snow, maybe even a mountain snowflake stamp, light off road, no major rocks or mud, more aggressive than the Duelers but not like a monster mudder A/T.

Recommendations?

Thanks!

I was just looking at TireRack tire ratings as have been looking at 2019s to replace my 4th gen. The OEM GrandTrek and 684s are the two lowest rated all-season highway truck/suv tires on Tirerack reviews. Please avoid them. Best is a dedicated winter tire and an all-season or all-terrain. Look around, there are lots of good tires better than the 684 is less aggressive highway or more aggressive all-terrain. FYI, I do not recommend the Kumho AT51, they got louder as they wore, had good luck with Michelin and Goodyear and have a set of General HTS 60 on the spouse's Grand Cherokee for spring, fall, summer that are working well.

Thanks RCT, I also heard that Falken Wildpeak AT3W were good, but I'm thinking they might be too aggressive for my needs....maybe Nokian WRG4 SUV? Would have to check the size though.....

Falken AT3W is the best purchase I've made for my 4Runner. You won't regret them, great on pavement performance and, in my opinion, quieter than the stock Bridgestone garbage. I LOVE these tires.

The Cooper Discoverer AT3 & AT3-4S just popped up on my radar as well......

Personally I didn't liked them. They are ok on the road but they quickly fall short on dirt/mud.
To me they make sense only on the limited edition and maybe SR5 but for example on my Trail they were really pointless. A/T ftw!
