2025 Autobild SUV Off-Road Summer Tire Test P10 of 10

The Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure is a specialized off-road tire that excels in its intended environment but struggles on paved roads. Features a robust profile that's highly resistant to punctures and cuts from sharp rocks and it delivers the best traction on grass and sand among all tested tires. However, it shows major deficiencies in wet performance with significantly longer braking distances and poor aquaplaning resistance. Dry handling and braking are similarly compromised. While excellent for dedicated off-road use, it's described as "completely unsuitable for everyday traffic" by the testers.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 5 tests. Updated September 8, 2025.

The Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure shows a split personality: strong subjective handling, dry/wet on-road balance in some A/T comparisons, good noise comfort, and capable off-road traction on select surfaces (sand and mud), but with clear vulnerabilities in aquaplaning, wet braking in tougher SUV/asphalt-focused tests, rolling resistance, and winter performance due to its non-snow-rated design. Results vary widely by test context-performing well in A/T-focused, mixed-surface evaluations but finishing last when benchmarked against predominantly road-biased SUV tires.

Overall, it excels in driver confidence and specific off-road traction (sand/mud), with competitive dry and wet handling in A/T groups, yet suffers from poor aquaplaning resistance, weak wet braking in the 2025 SUV summer test, mediocre gravel/braking metrics, and notably poor snow traction/handling. Awards and placements range from 1/7 and 3/9 to 10/10, indicating context-sensitive performance.

Best All Terrain Tires Tested On Road, Off Road and Snow [2024]

Pro Mobil 255/55 R18

Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure struck an interesting balance as a summer-specific AT tire. Dry road performance was good with predictable handling and responsive steering. Wet performance was good overall despite some weakness in aquaplaning resistance. Snow performance wasn't tested as this isn't a winter-rated tire. Offroad capability was impressive, particularly in mud where its harder compound showed excellent grip - often better than the winter-rated AT tires. Rolling resistance was relatively high at 9.8 kg/t. The tire proved remarkably refined with low noise levels at 70.7 dB and very good comfort. A strong choice for summer-only use where occasional offroad capability is needed.

The Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure looks like it would struggle on the road with its blocky tread pattern, but it was exceptional in the dry and wet grip tests. It was also fine on gravel, very good on dirt, had low noise levels, good levels of comfort, and one of the most enjoyable tires to drive! The only drawback was its limited aquaplaning resistance and average rolling resistance, but we'd definitely fit it. Highly recommended, this is one of the best all round tires on test.
