BFGoodrich Trail Terrain TA vs Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure
Across two shared tests, the BFG dominated snow and impressed off-road while keeping noise and rolling resistance low. The Goodyear, despite not being snow-rated, excelled in wet and dry grip and subjective road feel, but gave up performance in snow and some aquaplaning metrics. If you split time between highway and trails-or drive in real winter-these differences matter.

Real World Driver Reviews
BFGoodrich Trail Terrain TA Driver Reviews
Drivers report that the BFGoodrich Trail Terrain TA offers strong snow/ice traction, off-road toughness, and in some cases good comfort and low noise, but wet-road grip is a significant weakness and road noise often increases with mileage. Fuel economy penalties are commonly noted. Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative, with one very positive review praising comfort/noise and several mid/low reviews citing poor wet grip and rising noise.
Based on 5 reviews with an average rating of 70%
Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure Driver Reviews
Most drivers rate the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure positively, highlighting quiet, comfortable on-road manners with strong dry and generally good wet grip, plus confident performance on gravel, grass, and light off-road use. High-scoring reviews frequently praise braking and stability, and several note good longevity around 40-74k km with even wear. Common concerns include reduced wet/snow traction as tread wears, sidewall vulnerability to cuts/punctures, and a rough/unsettled ride for some Load Range E fitments. Overall, the tire suits mixed on-road/light off-road use, with mud performance only moderate.

Conclusion
The Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure is the road leader: shorter dry and wet stops, faster lap times, stronger subjective control, and low noise-an easy daily driver that remains competent off-pavement. Its weaknesses are winter performance (not snow-rated) and average aquaplaning resistance. Choose BFG for consistent winter and trail confidence; choose Goodyear for year-round road manners with light-to-moderate trail use. The practical takeaway: prioritize where you need grip most-snow/off-road (BFG) versus wet/dry tarmac (Goodyear).
Key Differences
- Snow: BFG leads decisively (e.g., braking 39.08 m vs 49.97 m; traction 4.57 s vs 6.93 s)
- Wet braking/handling: Goodyear clearly quicker (e.g., 68.5 m vs 59.6 m wet braking)
- Dry braking/handling: Goodyear stops shorter and laps faster
- Off-road gravel/dirt: BFG marginally faster with higher subjective control
- Aquaplaning: Mixed-BFG better straight-line; Goodyear better curved
- Efficiency: BFG lower rolling resistance (8.86 vs 9.49 kg/t)

Footnote
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
