Conclusion
The Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure shines for drivers prioritizing dry-road feel and engagement: it stops shorter in the dry, is quickest around the dry circuit, and earns top subjective scores for steering and low noise. However, its limited snow capability (not snow-rated) and weaker aquaplaning resistance cap its all-weather versatility. Choose Firestone for four-season security and efficiency, especially in wet and wintry climates; choose Goodyear for predominantly dry use and a more engaging, quieter drive.
Key Differences
- Snow capability: Firestone is markedly better; Goodyear is not snow-rated and lacks snow grip
- Aquaplaning resistance: Firestone leads in straight (+5.9% speed) and curved (+23.9%)
- Wet performance: Both strong, but Firestone edges objective wet metrics; Goodyear scores higher subjectively
- Dry performance: Goodyear brakes shorter (−6.2%) and is slightly quicker on dry lap; Firestone lags with slower steering response
- Efficiency: Firestone has ~11% lower rolling resistance
- Noise/feel: Goodyear rates quieter subjectively and is more engaging to drive; Firestone is calmer, more secure-focused

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre 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 tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre 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 tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
