The evidence behind the verdict

Update 22nd December 2025: Data added below!

Germany's influential motoring club, ADAC, has published the results of its 2025 all-terrain tyre test, delivering a disappointing result for drivers considering these tyres for their SUVs, campers, and pickups. ADAC tested eight popular all-terrain tyres in the common 225/65 R17 size, focusing on whether their rugged looks translate to competent all-around performance, particularly for European road use, and included a winter rated all season tyre as a reference.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Recorded test conditions

Dry Braking: 100 → 0 km/h
Wet Braking: 80 → 0 km/h
Snow Braking: 30 → 0 km/h
Snow Traction: 20 → 30 km/h
Gravel Traction: 20 → 50 km/h

The test highlighted that while the all terrain tyres promise go-anywhere capability, they come with a significant and dangerous loss of on-road safety. Not a single all-terrain tyre tested earned an ADAC recommendation.

While some of these were European spec. all terrain tyres, this test also has North American tyres in it, and highlights the compromises of all terrain tyres anywhere in the world.

The All-Season Reference Tyre: A Clear Winner

To contextualise the performance of the all-terrain segment, ADAC included a premium all-season road tyre, the Pirelli Cinturato SF3, as a reference benchmark in all tests. The results were bad: the specialist road tyre massively outperformed every all-terrain tyre in critical on-road safety tests.

The most alarming weakness was found in wet braking. The best-performing all-terrain tyre in the wet, the Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA, required six meters more to stop from 80 km/h than the Pirelli all-season tyre, a gap the length of an entire campervan. The worst performer, the BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A, took a shocking 48.8 meters to stop, nearly 13 meters longer than the reference tyre.

This safety deficit extended to handling, where the all-terrain tyres lacked grip and composure on both wet and dry roads. Some, like the Pirelli Scorpion A/T+, exhibited a pronounced tendency to oversteer, requiring skilled driver intervention to maintain control.

Off-road, the advantage was not as clear as one might expect. On gravel, the reference all-season tyre had the second-best traction, just behind the Matador MP72. And on a simulated muddy campsite field, ADAC found the all-terrain tyres offered no noticeable traction benefit over the all-season tyre; a vehicle's drivetrain (AWD vs 2WD) was a far more decisive factor. The only clear advantage for the all-terrain tyres was their robustness, as they resisted damage from an extreme gravel course better than the road-focused reference tyre.

The snow performance tests revealed a huge capability gap between the all-terrain tyres, but also proved that a dedicated road-focused all-season tyre remains the safer choice in winter. The reference all-season tyre set the benchmark for winter performance, and none of the all-terrain tyres could fully match it.

The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 was the clear standout among the all-terrain group, performing "almost at the level" of the reference tyre, making it the most competent winter option. Interestingly, the BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A, which failed on wet and dry roads, was the second-best performer in the snow. At the other end of the spectrum, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T002 was the worst tyre on snow by a significant margin, demonstrating the massive variance in winter capability within the segment.

Individual Results and ADAC's Advice

While no tyre was recommended, the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 finished as the test winner with an overall "Satisfactory" rating. It was the best of a compromised group, with its main strength being a surprisingly competent performance on snow. The Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA, General Tyre Grabber AT3, and Matador MP72 Izzarda A/T2 also received satisfactory ratings, showing a more balanced, albeit still compromised, performance across the board.

The four other tyres were downgraded due to significant specific weaknesses:

Pirelli Scorpion A/T+: Downgraded for poor handling and oversteer on snow and wet roads.
Toyo Open Country A/T III: Downgraded for very weak performance in the wet.
Bridgestone Dueler A/T002: Downgraded for being the worst tyre in the test on snow.
BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A: The most expensive and heaviest tyre, it was downgraded for being by far the worst on wet and dry roads.

ADAC concludes that for the vast majority of drivers, even those who occasionally venture onto a gravel track or wet field, a high-quality all-season tyre is a much safer and more competent choice.

Results

The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is the winner of the ADAC all-terrain tyre 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 tyre has no major weaknesses, it secures the overall victory, even though it provides less driving safety than the reference tyre.

The Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3WA is the most balanced tyre in the test. Although it has the shallowest tread depth when new, this doesn't negatively impact its aquaplaning characteristics. In fact, it performs well in all disciplines and, with the exception of the gravel traction test, is always at least in the upper midfield. The Falken shows no real weaknesses and is even the best tyre on wet surfaces.

The General Tyre Grabber AT3 provides a balanced performance, with its primary strengths showing on snow-covered roads. It excels in both braking and handling on snow, where it ranks as one of the best tyres in the test. However, it cannot quite keep up with the other top-rated tyres in wet conditions, marking its weakest area among the non-downgraded group.

The Matador MP72 Izzarda A/T2 is a balanced tyre, much like its corporate sibling, the General Tyre. It excels on gravel, where it is rated as the best in the test field, primarily because of its superior traction. In contrast, its performance on dry roads is a significant weakness. Even when compared to other all-terrain tyres, which are not known for precision, the Matador stands out for its delayed steering response and slow build-up of lateral force.

Despite its rugged appearance, the Pirelli Scorpion A/T+ is the lightest tyre in the test and performs well on gravel, offering good traction and responsive steering into corners. However, this is overshadowed by a significant tendency to oversteer, where the rear of the vehicle can lose grip. While this is manageable on gravel, it becomes a safety issue on wet and snowy roads, creating difficult situations that require a skilled driver. Due to its poor performance and lack of safety on snow, the Pirelli's final score was downgraded.

The Toyo Open Country A/T III is an expert on dry surfaces, at least within the all-terrain tyre test field. It achieves the best score in the dry performance category and is considered the strongest tyre in the subjective handling evaluation on dry roads. However, the tyre cannot maintain this high level of performance on wet asphalt, where it is weak, leading to a downgrade in its final score. Its performance is especially lacking in cornering aquaplaning and on the wet handling course, where it was only rated as sufficient.

The Bridgestone Dueler A/T002 shows strong performance on paved roads. It handles wet surfaces well, ranking as the second-best tyre in the test on wet asphalt, and its performance in the dry is also solid, where it stands out as a very good dry-braking tyre. However, its overall ranking plummets to second-to-last place because of its capabilities on snow. In the snow evaluation, it was the weakest tyre in the entire test group across braking, traction, and handling, which led to its final score being downgraded.

The BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A stands out for several negative reasons: it is the heaviest and most expensive tyre in the test. It also provides the least driving safety on both wet and dry roads, where it is by far the weakest performer, leading to a major downgrade in its overall score. In stark contrast, the tyre performs surprisingly well on snow, ranking as the second-best in that specific category. The test concludes that this tyre is an extreme example of the difficulty in engineering a single product to perform well in all weather conditions.
