2024 promobil All Terrain Tire Test

Compare each discipline in the tested size. See the measured result, position and gap to the best tire, then read the verdict for the trade-offs behind the finishing order.

Tested size: 255/55 R18
Tires tested: 5
Disciplines: 24
Test vehicle: VW Tiguan and VW Atlas (Toyota Hilux for mud traction)

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tires can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tires does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

5Loder Loder AT1	149 ft	+10 ft	21 mph

The difference between best and worst was 7.6% (10 ft ≈ 0.7 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Loder Loder AT1 would still be travelling at 21 mph when the Bridgestone Dueler All Terrain AT002 had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Set my vehicle consumption

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tire age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.
