Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.

Head to head in 2 tests, 2022 to 2023

Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tyres' figures.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 36 m stop against 34.2 m is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 85%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow.

Every measurement, side by side

Averages of the figures both tyres posted in the same tests. The gap is the average of each test's own gap, so figures from different cars and years are never mixed. Open a discipline for its measurements, and a measurement for every test's figure.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Scores beyond the shared tests

On the Tyre Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the Destination AT2 scores 8.5 and the Wrangler All Terrain Adventure 7.6 out of 10.

Reviews also commonly praise its low road noise and smooth highway manners, with some noting impressive mileage and good all-round capability on dry roads and gravel. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with most users describing it as a well-balanced, good-value all-terrain option.

  • Excellent wet grip/traction
  • Strong snow performance (including 3PMS capability)
  • Low road noise / quiet on highway
  • Good all-round traction on dry and mixed surfaces (e.g., gravel)

Summarised by AI from 6 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.

I spent a lot of time reading reviews before I pull the trigger, I wanted an all-terrain tire, that had good grip in the wet and snow, but did not kill my MPGs. The Firestone destination at2s exceeded all my expectations. The wet grip is phenomenal, better than the factory. All seasons that came with my large SUV, I was was caught in a blizzard in Western Pennsylvania recently, 12 in of snow, and for the most part I was bored having to drive real slow around other cars.

I don't drive fast enough to really comment on the dry grip, but the noise is low and I have not seen a meaningful change in my MPGs.

  • 547,197 milesdriven by reviewers

Drivers generally report the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure as a quiet, comfortable all-terrain tyre with confident on-road manners and strong performance on gravel, sand and light off-road use. Higher-scoring reviews frequently praise dry grip, stable handling and good all-round capability, with some users achieving solid mileage when maintained. The most consistent downside is that wet traction can deteriorate as the tyre wears, with multiple reports of hydroplaning/aquaplaning and reduced grip near mid-to-late tread life, alongside several complaints of earlier-than-expected tread wear. Snow/ice performance is described as workable for some but not a strength, especially in slush and on ice.

  • Low road noise / quiet on-road
  • Comfortable ride quality
  • Strong dry grip and on-road handling
  • Good light off-road performance (gravel/sand/grass/dirt)
  • Wet grip and hydroplaning resistance worsen as tread wears
  • Premature/shorter-than-expected tread life for some drivers
  • Mediocre snow/ice and slush performance compared with winter-focused tyres

Very happy about the noise. No noise at all till 120-130km/h. Very durable, been on rocks etc no problem, excellent grip on dry, no problem on wet, i just didnt force them on the limit. Experience on gravel was very good, very nice grip. i didnt test them on ice, been a few times on snow with no problem.I think i need 0,5l/100km more diesel

Reading the results

Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.

This head-to-head puts two road-biased all-terrain stalwarts under the microscope: Firestone's Destination AT2 and Goodyear's Wrangler All Terrain Adventure. Both target SUV and 4x4 drivers who split time between tarmac and light off-road, but their personalities differ notably across snow, wet, and dry dynamics.

Across two shared, recent tests, the Firestone consistently excelled in snow and aquaplaning resistance while delivering strong wet grip and class-leading efficiency. The Goodyear countered with sharper steering, shorter dry stops, and lower perceived noise. If you're weighing winter confidence and wet safety versus dry-road precision and refinement, this comparison will clarify the trade-offs.

Conclusion

The Firestone Destination AT2 is the more complete all-weather performer, winning both shared tests and dominating snow metrics (circa 9-27% advantages in braking and traction) while pairing excellent wet grip with high straight and curved aquaplaning resistance. It also posts the lowest rolling resistance on test, aiding fuel economy, and rides comfortably.

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.

Where this data comes from

Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.

About the TR Score

The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
