Real World Driver Reviews
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.
Based on 18 reviews with an average rating of 76%
Toyo Open Country AT III Driver Reviews
Drivers largely praise the Toyo Open Country AT III for confident all-terrain performance, above-average snow traction, strong wet/hydroplane resistance, and a surprisingly quiet ride. Many high-scoring reviews report long life with even wear and robust durability, along with stable on-road handling. A minority note faster tread wear (especially on lighter vehicles) and occasional noise, but these are not common themes.
Based on 8 reviews with an average rating of 85%
Conclusion
Choose the Toyo if you prioritize off-road and winter-like surfaces. It led gravel pace (−0.97%), scored higher in subjective gravel feel, resisted aquaplaning better, and delivered markedly stronger snow traction (−19%) and snow handling (−7.9%). It trades that for longer wet/dry stopping and more cabin noise. In short: Goodyear for everyday road confidence and refinement; Toyo for heavier-duty trails, standing water, and snow-focused use.
Key Differences
- On-road wet: Goodyear brakes shorter (−4.87%) and laps quicker; Toyo trails.
- On-road dry: Goodyear stops shorter (−2.75%) and handles slightly quicker.
- Aquaplaning: Toyo leads in straight (+1.97%) and curved (+5.8%) resistance.
- Snow: Toyo dominates traction (−19%) and handling (−7.9%); Goodyear not snow-rated.
- Refinement: Goodyear is quieter (−2.3 dB) and more comfortable.
- Off-road balance: Toyo better on gravel; Goodyear slightly quicker on dirt.

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.
