promobil has tested seven tires in 255/55 R18, a size found on larger SUVs and pickups such as the VW Touareg, BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE, on wet and dry roads, on snow, and off road on gravel, mud and dirt tracks. Five are all-terrain tires with the three-peak snowflake symbol, so they are legal winter tires: the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, Bridgestone Dueler All-Terrain A/T002, Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA, General Grabber AT3 and Loder AT1. The other two are summer-only: the Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure, a summer all-terrain tire, and the Continental CrossContact H/T, a road-biased highway-terrain tire. promobil published the test in 2024, and its sister magazine auto motor und sport ran the same measurements in 2025 with its own scoring, verdicts and prices. The standings, verdicts and prices on this page are auto motor und sport's.

How the tires finish depends on how you use them, and auto motor und sport scored the test four ways. On its headline weighting, all-year use with ten per cent off road, the Falken and General finish level and share the win. The Falken is named overall winner for the most even performance across every surface, and the General the all-season winner for its snow performance. The Bridgestone and Loder are rated good, and the BFGoodrich, very strong on snow but weak on wet roads, satisfactory. The Continental and Goodyear cannot be ranked for all-year use because neither is a winter tire, but on the summer weighting with ten per cent off road the Continental scores highest of all seven.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Recorded test conditions

Dry Braking: 62.1 → 0.0 mph
Wet Braking: 49.7 → 0.0 mph
Snow Braking: 31.1 → 6.2 mph
Snow Traction: 3.1 → 31.1 mph
Gravel Braking: 24.9 → 0.0 mph
Gravel Traction: 0.0 → 18.6 mph

The four weightings are summer or all-year use, each with either ten or fifty per cent off-road driving. With half the driving off road, the Falken leads both the summer and the all-year scoring. The test also makes a wider point: auto motor und sport compared the best and worst all-terrain tires here with a Continental summer tire and all-season tire in the closely related 235/55 R18 size, and the summer tire stopped several meters shorter on wet and dry roads, while both conventional tires held more grip in wet corners. This is our summary of the headline findings; for the full data and methodology see promobil's original test, and for the four weightings in full see auto motor und sport's 2025 version.

Wet

The Continental, the most road-focused tire here, was the best in every wet test. Of the all-terrain tires the Falken stopped shortest, with the General next, while the BFGoodrich and Loder were well behind; the Loder needed more than 36 feet further than the Falken to stop.

Results

For all-year use with occasional off-road driving, auto motor und sport's verdict is the Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA for the best all-round performance on and off road, and the General Grabber AT3 for anyone who wants a full winter tire, with the Falken also the cheapest tire in the test. The Bridgestone is a safe choice on tarmac but weaker on snow and off road, the Loder excels in winter but lacks grip on wet and dry roads, and the BFGoodrich is very capable off road and on snow but the weakest of the winter-rated tires in the wet. The magazine's wider conclusion is that an all-terrain tire is a compromise for an everyday SUV: longer braking distances, less grip in corners, more noise and higher fuel use than a summer or all-season tire, so it only makes sense if you really go off road. For the complete data and methodology, see promobil's original test.

The Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA shares the win with the General on auto motor und sport's headline all-year scoring and is named overall winner for the most even performance on and off road. It was rated very good, and it leads the scoring when half the driving is off road.

The Loder AT1 finished fourth on the headline all-year scoring and was rated good. It is an excellent winter tire with a high load capacity, held back by too little grip on wet and dry roads.

The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 finished last of the winter-rated tires on the headline all-year scoring and was rated satisfactory. It is very capable off road and on snow, but its wet grip, noise and efficiency count against it on the road.

Was this the Falken AT3WA, not the AT3?

  You're most likely correct as it's an EU test

Hi - how does the Continental Cross Contact H/T compare with the equivalent Continental/Pirelli summer tires off road please?
Thanks for all the awesome testing you do. Keep up the epic work!!

  There's limited tests out there, have you checked to see if TireRack have tested it? I'm sure it's a very good tire, conti rarely miss.

What is the difference between the falken wildpeak at3wa model and at3w model? was at3wa or at3w used in the test?

  As far as I understand the A model is an OE fitment so should not have been tested.

    AT3W is not sold in Europe. AT3WA is OE fitment for US, but only option that can be bought in Europe.
    Please, confirm which tire is tested.

      You are correct it was the A version tested. I'll get the site updated when I can.

        Thank you both for this clarification. It seems to be a no-brainer because of its price and test results
