Performance Analysis

BFGoodrich Trail Terrain TA - Official Image

The BFGoodrich Trail Terrain TA shows a split personality: outstanding in snow and off-road, but weak in wet and dry on-road metrics. It topped or nearly topped every snow and loose-surface category across two independent test programs and even won the focused snow comparison. However, two comprehensive all-terrain tests placed it near the bottom overall due to long wet/dry braking, slower handling, and poor curved aquaplaning, culminating in last place in the rigorous 2025 ADAC test.
