2025 ADAC All Terrain Tire Test P1 of 8

The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is the winner of the ADAC all-terrain tire test. Its greatest strength lies on snowy roads, but it also performs convincingly in other disciplines, consistently placing it among the top of the test field. It offers the best handling not only on snow but also on wet roads, and delivers a top performance in dry braking. Since the tire has no major weaknesses, it secures the overall victory, even though it provides less driving safety than the reference tire.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 4 tests. Updated August 26, 2025.

Across four all-season tests, the Geolandar AT G015 shows a mixed profile: standout in the 2025 ADAC all-terrain test where it won overall and was praised as the most competent winter option versus the group, yet average-to-weak in broader SUV all-season tests and snow-specific metrics. Wet performance is consistently mid-pack to good in specialist AT comparisons, while comfort/noise stands out positively. Snow braking/traction are recurrent weak points outside the favorable 2025 ADAC context. Rolling resistance is repeatedly poor.

Overall, it's a capable AT tire with solid wet handling stability and excellent comfort/noise, peaking in AT-focused evaluations, but it lags in snow stopping power and efficiency. Results suggest suitability for drivers prioritizing on-road civility and balanced wet performance in an AT, rather than ultimate snow braking or fuel economy.

Tire Reviews 275/65 R18 Tested by Tire Reviews Recommended

The Yokohama Geolander AT G015 is probably the most road biased looking AT tire in this test, and it had a performance to match its looks! It was one of the best in the wet, but did struggle a little in the dry. It was average off-road, but it was by far the most comfortable tire on test and had a low noise level. The real let down, as one of the newer tires on test, it had one of the highest rolling resistance levels, meaning it'll cost you more at the pumps. Still recommended though, a really good product for someone who only does light off roading.
