Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685 - 255/65R17 110T Tire

These tires are OE on the Toyota Tundras after 15,000 and less than two years old the tires dry rotted near the bead. The Firestone stone confirmed the dry rot and considered it covered. However, instead of paying for the full cost of replacement and installation they are charging me the wear on the tires AND the installation for a manufacturing issue. To make matter worse I was told if I purchased these tires through Bridgestone they would have a 5 year warranty and cover 100% of the cost. Now I'm stuck with dry rotted tires that I either have to put other duelers on which may or may not dry rot or go to a new manufacture and buy all brand new tires. Would not recommend these tires for any application if they can dry rot in less than two years. Also one excuse that Bridgestone gave me was the trucks sit on the lots for a long time but the tundras were being sold as soon as they hit the lot. I tracked the truck from the plant to the lot and picked it up the next day. It didn't sit for any extended period of time and I live in the Midwest where dry hot heat shouldn't be a problem.

I purchased the tires on my truck new been very happy with the performance I have 23,000 miles. It's about time to replace them, price varies widely from $150 to 298 that's a big margin but I will buy those tires I usually buy michelin but I'm sticking with a Bridgestone
