Data updated
Which should you buy?
Pick Goodyear for predominantly road use, frequent rain, quiet commuting, and light trails. Choose Toyo for frequent off-road, heavy gravel, standing water, and meaningful winter/snow use where its traction and aquaplaning resistance matter more.
Where the Wrangler All Terrain Adventure is stronger
- Best-in-test style wet and dry grip: shorter dry (42.4 m) and wet (59.6 m) braking
- Refined road manners: lower noise (73 dB) and higher comfort/subjective scores
- Engaging, predictable handling on-road; strong dirt performance
Where the Open Country AT III is stronger
- Stronger snow capability: faster traction (−19%) and handling (−7.9%) vs Goodyear
- Better aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved)
- Confident gravel performance with higher subjective off-road scores

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.

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.

Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure
- 76%from 20 reviews
- 65%would buy again
- 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

All 20 Wrangler All Terrain Adventure reviewsVery 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

Most drivers report the Toyo Open Country AT III as a strong all-around all-terrain tyre, praised for confident handling and traction on dirt, snow and wet roads, with several high-scoring reviews highlighting long service life and even wear. Noise is generally described as low to moderate for an A/T, though a minority report noticeable noise and reduced responsiveness. The most consistent downside across lower/mid-scoring reviews is faster-than-expected tread wear compared with key competitors.
- Strong all-around capability on-road and off-road
- Good winter/snow traction for an all-terrain tyre
- Good wet performance/hydroplane resistance
- Stable handling and confidence (towing and cornering)
- Tread wear/longevity concerns compared to competitors
- Some reports of increased road noise
- Slightly reduced responsiveness/comfort (stiffer feel)

All 10 Open Country AT III reviewsReally impressed with theses tires. Bought the LT version of the tires because I tow a 6k lbs trailer around all summer. The ride is stiff but the handling is amazing, no more Rolly Polly when changing lanes or sweeping turns! Live in Ontario so get a lot of snow, they handle really well and even aired them down to go down my favorite hunting trail in 7-8 inches of powder. Have had them when rock crawling in places I shouldn't have been with a stock GMC AT4 and they have never met me down. Best thing is after 75k miles with 40k towing a trailer I still have about half of the tread depth left.

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 pits two popular all-terrain all-season SUV/4x4 options against each other: the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure and the Toyo Open Country AT III. Both target mixed use, but their strengths diverge-Goodyear leans toward confident on-road manners with surprising wet and dry grip, while Toyo prioritizes off-road bite and stability in deeper snow dynamics.
Across two independent tests on 275/65 R18, the Goodyear consistently excelled in dry and wet braking/handling and cabin refinement, taking a strong 3rd overall in 2022. The Toyo countered with better aquaplaning resistance, lower rolling resistance, stronger gravel performance, and superior snow traction/handling, placing 4th in the 2023 snow-focused test.
Conclusion
If your driving is mostly on-road with regular rain and occasional dirt, the Goodyear is the safer, more composed choice: shorter stops in the dry (−2.75%) and wet (−4.87%), quicker lap times, calmer noise (−2.3 dB), and higher subjective comfort. Its main weakness is aquaplaning resistance, where the Toyo holds an edge, and it's not snow-rated.
Choose the Toyo if you prioritize off-road and winter-like surfaces. It led gravel pace (−0.97%), scored higher in subjective gravel feel, resisted aquaplaning better, and delivered markedly stronger snow traction (−19%) and snow handling (−7.9%). It trades that for longer wet/dry stopping and more cabin noise. In short: Goodyear for everyday road confidence and refinement; Toyo for heavier-duty trails, standing water, and snow-focused use.

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.
