Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

All 7 Destination AT2 reviewsI spent a lot of time reading reviews before I pull the trigger, I wanted an all-terrain tire, that had good grip in the wet and snow, but did not kill my MPGs. The Firestone destination at2s exceeded all my expectations. The wet grip is phenomenal, better than the factory. All seasons that came with my large SUV, I was was caught in a blizzard in Western Pennsylvania recently, 12 in of snow, and for the most part I was bored having to drive real slow around other cars.
I don't drive fast enough to really comment on the dry grip, but the noise is low and I have not seen a meaningful change in my MPGs.

Drivers generally report the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure as a quiet, comfortable all-terrain tire with confident on-road manners and strong performance on gravel, sand and light off-road use. Higher-scoring reviews frequently praise dry grip, stable handling and good all-round capability, with some users achieving solid mileage when maintained. The most consistent downside is that wet traction can deteriorate as the tire wears, with multiple reports of hydroplaning/aquaplaning and reduced grip near mid-to-late tread life, alongside several complaints of earlier-than-expected tread wear. Snow/ice performance is described as workable for some but not a strength, especially in slush and on ice.
- Low road noise / quiet on-road
- Comfortable ride quality
- Strong dry grip and on-road handling
- Good light off-road performance (gravel/sand/grass/dirt)
- Wet grip and hydroplaning resistance worsen as tread wears
- Premature/shorter-than-expected tread life for some drivers
- Mediocre snow/ice and slush performance compared with winter-focused tires

All 20 Wrangler All Terrain Adventure reviewsVery happy about the noise. No noise at all till 120-130km/h. Very durable, been on rocks etc no problem, excellent grip on dry, no problem on wet, i just didnt force them on the limit. Experience on gravel was very good, very nice grip. i didnt test them on ice, been a few times on snow with no problem.I think i need 0,5l/100km more diesel

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This head-to-head puts two road-biased all-terrain stalwarts under the microscope: Firestone's Destination AT2 and Goodyear's Wrangler All Terrain Adventure. Both target SUV and 4x4 drivers who split time between tarmac and light off-road, but their personalities differ notably across snow, wet, and dry dynamics.
Across two shared, recent tests, the Firestone consistently excelled in snow and aquaplaning resistance while delivering strong wet grip and class-leading efficiency. The Goodyear countered with sharper steering, shorter dry stops, and lower perceived noise. If you're weighing winter confidence and wet safety versus dry-road precision and refinement, this comparison will clarify the trade-offs.
Conclusion
The Firestone Destination AT2 is the more complete all-weather performer, winning both shared tests and dominating snow metrics (circa 9-27% advantages in braking and traction) while pairing excellent wet grip with high straight and curved aquaplaning resistance. It also posts the lowest rolling resistance on test, aiding fuel economy, and rides comfortably.
The Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure shines for drivers prioritizing dry-road feel and engagement: it stops shorter in the dry, is quickest around the dry circuit, and earns top subjective scores for steering and low noise. However, its limited snow capability (not snow-rated) and weaker aquaplaning resistance cap its all-weather versatility. Choose Firestone for four-season security and efficiency, especially in wet and wintry climates; choose Goodyear for predominantly dry use and a more engaging, quieter drive.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
