StrengthsThe Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT earned the highest snow rating from Tire Rack's drivers, so it felt the most composed and predictable of the whole group once the truck was turning and changing direction on snow. Its snow braking was in the top third, and it was among the quickest to pull away on ice. ConsiderationsThe Stronghold AT's measured grip did not match its rating. It needed more room than most to accelerate on snow, sat in the lower third for ice braking, and its combined snow stopping and acceleration distance was only mid-field. It was tested in an LT load range E size, a different construction from the passenger-size tyres it is compared with here.

StrengthsThe Vredestein Pinza AT earned the second-best snow rating from the drivers and was among the quickest to accelerate on snow, which put its combined snow distance in the top third. ConsiderationsThe Pinza AT's snow braking was only mid-field, its ice braking likewise, and it was one of the slowest tyres to get moving on ice.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent was the measured benchmark of this test. It stopped in the shortest distance on snow, accelerated in the shortest distance on snow, stopped shortest on ice and was the second quickest to pull away on ice. ConsiderationsThe Dueler A/T Ascent's only shortfall was its subjective rating: the drivers placed it joint third, so on feel two tyres edged it.

StrengthsThe Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 had the second-shortest snow braking and the third-shortest snow acceleration, giving it the second-best combined snow distance, and the drivers rated it joint third. Its ice braking was in the top third. ConsiderationsThe Defender LTX M/S2 was only mid-field for acceleration on ice, and it carries no 3PMSF mark, so it would not meet rules that ask for one.

StrengthsThe Falken WildPeak A/T4W earned a joint-third snow rating, so the drivers found it composed and easy to place through the handling exercises. On ice it was mid-field for braking and in the top third for acceleration. ConsiderationsThe WildPeak A/T4W's straight-line snow grip was weak: it was in the lower third for both braking and acceleration on snow, and its combined snow distance was in the lower third of the whole field.

StrengthsThe Vredestein Pinza HT earned the sixth-best snow rating and was among the quickest to accelerate on snow. ConsiderationsThe Pinza HT was only mid-field for braking on snow and on ice, and slow to pull away on ice.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Dueler LX shared seventh place on the drivers' snow rating, was quick to accelerate on snow, and put in one of the better ice performances, with top-third braking and acceleration on ice. ConsiderationsThe Dueler LX was only mid-field for snow braking, and it carries no 3PMSF mark.

StrengthsThe BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 shared seventh place on the drivers' snow rating and had top-third snow braking. ConsiderationsThe All-Terrain T/A KO3 needed more distance than most to accelerate on snow and was in the lower third for both braking and acceleration on ice.

StrengthsThe Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T was the best rugged all-terrain on snow by some way, with the second-shortest snow acceleration, top-four snow braking and the third-best combined snow distance of all. ConsiderationsThe Baja Boss A/T was one of the weakest tyres on ice, near the back for both braking and acceleration.

StrengthsThe Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT had top-five snow braking, the third-shortest ice braking and top-third ice acceleration, so its measured grip was consistently strong on both surfaces. ConsiderationsThe Road+Trail AT was only mid-field for acceleration on snow, and the drivers rated it no better than joint ninth.

StrengthsThe Continental TerrainContact H/T was consistent, with top-third snow braking and combined snow distance and mid-field results everywhere else. ConsiderationsThe TerrainContact H/T did not stand out in any test, and it carries no 3PMSF mark.

StrengthsThe Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek shared ninth place on the drivers' snow rating, well above most rugged all-terrains, and was mid-field for acceleration on snow and on ice. ConsiderationsThe Rugged Trek's measured grip was ordinary, in the lower half for braking on both snow and ice.

StrengthsThe Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme was outstanding on ice: the quickest to accelerate and the second-shortest to stop. It was also in the top third for acceleration on snow. ConsiderationsThe Dynapro AT2 Xtreme was only mid-field for snow braking, and the drivers placed it joint fourteenth.

StrengthsThe Firestone Destination LE3 was strong on ice, with top-third braking and the fourth-quickest acceleration. ConsiderationsThe Destination LE3 was weak in straight lines on snow, in the lower half for both braking and acceleration, which gave it one of the longer combined snow distances.

StrengthsThe General Grabber H/T shared fourteenth place on the drivers' snow rating, so it drove better than its measured grip suggests, and it was mid-field on ice. ConsiderationsThe Grabber H/T was among the weakest tyres for braking and acceleration on snow.

StrengthsThe Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT had excellent measured grip: the third-shortest snow braking, top-four results for both braking and acceleration on ice, and the fourth-best combined snow distance. ConsiderationsThe DuraTrac RT's snow rating was only joint seventeenth, so the drivers found it less composed than its measurements suggest.

These are calculated scenarios, not new test awards. The published verdict may reflect judgement, close results and factors outside this calculation.
Not ranked: a measurement needed for these weights is missing. Missing results are not treated as zero or redistributed.
Reference tyres provide context only. They do not set the benchmark and cannot win the personalised ranking.
Weighting vs real impact
What decides this ranking
The weighting is how much each category counts. The real impact is how much of the difference between the tyres it creates: a discipline in which every tyre performed about the same barely changes the order, however much it counts.
No weighting is recorded for this test, so the weighting here starts from Tyre Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Snow Weighting 83% Real impact 89%
- Ice Weighting 17% Real impact 11%
- Subj. Snow Handling counts for 10.8% of the score but creates 18% of the difference between the tyres, because their results in it were far apart.
- Ice Traction counts for 8.5% of the score but creates only 4% of the difference, because most tyres performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 5
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Snow Braking | 39% | 39% |
| Snow Traction | 33.2% | 32% |
| Subj. Snow Handling | 10.8% | 18% |
| Ice Braking | 8.5% | 7% |
| Ice Traction | 8.5% | 4% |
How it is worked out: each discipline’s weighting is multiplied by the spread of its results (the gap across the middle half of the tyres, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tyres; it is not a second set of weights, and it follows the weights you set.
How your ranking is calculated
Each discipline is scored against the best non-reference tyre in the full test field: best ÷ result × 100 when lower is better, or result ÷ best × 100 when higher is better. Discipline scores are rounded to two decimal places, then combined using your weights.
Within-category weights divide that category’s share of the overall score. A 50% wet category and 40% wet-braking share give wet braking 20% of the total. A weight is a scoring priority, not a measure of its actual effect on the ranking: the performance gaps matter too. What decides this ranking ↑
Published joint positions are preserved separately. Calculated positions tie only when their underlying scores match; two displayed scores can look equal after rounding.
A zero weight excludes that category or discipline. At least one active discipline is required, and the disciplines in every active category must have a positive total.
