Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure

This is the 4th set of Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar Adventurer tires that I have had on my trucks. I use them all year round and get about 40,000 kilometers on them before I install new tires. The traction, especially in wet conditions, deteriorates after the tread is half worn. I like the quietness and good mileage.

I've fitted them on Freelander 2 for a autumn overland rally in Romanian mountains.
We have done almost 2000 miles on tarmac, big rocks, gravely roads, grass, some mud and even snow and ice. Mostly on lowered pressure to 1.8-1.9 bar.
I was surprised by the incredible grip on grass even in very steep slopes. We didn't got any puncture on sharp rocks. Quite reasonably usable in 15cms of fresh snow.
Still quiet and comfortable enough.
Great surprise!
When compared to BF Goodrich TA/KO2, the Goodyear doesn't look as hardcore as BF, but performs better overall at half the price. BF is only slightly better in mud.

I have just under 50K miles on this set of OEM tires, and there is significant wear - especially the front tires. Most of the miles are highway miles in west-central Minnesota. I drive 50 miles to work 3 days per week from a rural lake location - about 10 miles on back roads, the rest on well maintained 4-lane roads. They are decent in snow, but slush and ice are a challenge. They hydroplane easily on wet roads. They work fine for light off-roading.

These are my second set of Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventures (w/ Dupont Kevlar), the first set I had on a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban LT (4x4/Autoride). My dad is also on his second set on his 2005 Toyota Tacoma SR5 (4x4) with 17in wheels from the Tundra/Sequoya. All 3 4x4 vehicles the tires were/are installed on are used primarily on-road in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado. Annual hunting trips and adventures call for some light duty off-roading on gravel, dirt, grass, and various agricultural fields. Overall, these tire have satisfied us by providing a low road noise and comfortable ride with excellent dry grip and response. On all off-road surfaces mentioned above the tires perform well in dry conditions providing decent grip and confidence. However, I did get stuck on a minimum maintenance road in Kansas after a downpour which turned the road into a greasy mud slip and slide. The mud quickly caked into the tread and reduced my traction significantly. I was pulled out by a tractor... Otherwise, the tires have been excellent for mainly dry climates on all surfaces/terrains. In the rain, on pavement, at a stop light, I do occasionally get a little rear tire slippage on painted lines (crosswalks and intersection marks). This issue can be quickly remedied with the 4-AUTO setting on the Silverado. I have had little issues in snow and ice, however, my driving style changes from spirited to cautious with maybe a touch of fun. I have been able to assist other drivers by pushing/pulling their vehicles out of ditches or deep(ish) snow covered roads with 4-AUTO or 4-HIGH utilized. I have been impressed with these tires. Previous tires to the GYs were the BFG KO2, for reference. Next tire I want to try are the BFG Trail-Terrain T/A for my 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Z71 (Extended Cab).

Maintenance: 265/65R18 116T, 40 psi (Summer) / 35 psi (Winter), installed Fall of 2021.
Rotated and Balance check every 6k-10k miles.
Treadwear checked 06/2025 at last rotation, 7/32in on all (4) tires, worn even across.
Approximately +40k miles on tires.

Ran these tires for 4 years on my 2020 Tacoma. They do give a nice ride and are dead quiet. These are pretty much the only positives about these tires. Dry and wet grip were very good when new but once they get a bit worn the grip just isn't there. I ran these only once in the first light snow of winter and immediately went out and bought a dedicated winter tire as the Goodyear Wranglers were horrible (I expected they would not be good in the snow). Durability was horrible as well. Had 2 rock punctures from small stones when they were paving a nearby road (I don't offroad). I've never had a small rock puncture a tire on me before this, but had it happen twice with the Wranglers. There is currently 60,000 kms on my truck and half of those kms are with my winters, so I'd say between 30,000-40,000 kms on the Goodyear Wranglers. About 3/32nds of tread left, so they are pretty much at the end of their life. Nowhere even close to the 95,000 km warranty Goodyear claims for these tires.

Very satisfied with this option on my Nissan xtrail t32. Excellent grip on dry, very god grip on wet surface and good on snow. Not enough tested on snow and ice. Excellent grip off road. Highly recommended

I really like the Goodyear AT Adventure tyre. It handles good on gravel, sand and tar road. I always do long distance traveling with heavy loaded vehicle and this tyre did good. I have no issue with wet or dry roads, tar or gravel handling. Road noise also not an issue. At this point I will easily buy it again, BUT The only negative for me is the side wall, I lost two tyres because of side wall pinch/cut, one on the gravel and one on tar. As you know tyre repair places does not repair side wall, even small cuts. Both case it was really something small. I was explained by an expert that the Kevlar is not in the side wall. The fact that Goodyear put “Kevlar” on the side of the tyre is misleading. For this reason, I am in two minded to buy it again, and should I not rather look at the General Grabber AT3. Without repeating, it handles heavy loaded vehicle well, for me this is important, but I lost confidence with easy side wall cuts.

Solid all round tire for grip, but incredibly uncomfortable. It's to be expected from a load range E truck tire, but there's a noticeable shift at around 65-70 mph where the tire goes from a comfortable, smooth drive, to getting very flightly and unstable when hitting any sort of irregularity in the road. For example, hit a bump while on a freeway ramp, and you can feel the entire front end jump over a bit. Also, going over anything but the perfect surface on the freeway, you can feel the entire truck shaking.
As for grip, they're just alright in basically every condition. I've never gotten stuck, or had any major issues, but if I wanted, I could easily break traction at any second. On ice, they struggle like any non-studded, non-winter will, but they're manageable with 4WD. In the dry and wet, they're uneventful and have never caused me to lose confidence in my traction. They're on a half-ton truck, so there's nothing uneventful or spirited with them. If anything, the wet traction is impressive given how they handle pulling a 3500lb boat and trailer up a slick, steep, wet boat ramp covered with weeds and algae without even a hint of losing traction.
I don't think I'll get these again simply because of how rough and terrible the ride is, particularly at higher speeds. Plus, there's zero reason for an E tire on a half ton. If I exceeded the load of a 116T tire, I've exceeded my payload by over 1000 lbs. Additionally, the fuel economy penalty is noticeable. I average about 1-2mpg less than what the truck is rated for consistently with these.

Have those Goodyear's on my LandRover Defender P400 SE X- Dynamic!

tyres have worn out prematurely they have worn evenly but at 48000 klms are unroadworthy the rubber has become brittle and tyres are chipping my son has dura techs which have done 90000 klms and are still roadworthy and the rubber is still pliable.

Good handeling on gravel with very exceptional stopping power. Braking is good on tarmac. Handles well on wet surfaces and slides a bit on puddles. Works well in the mud. Stopping is very good and I'm happy with they way this tyre handles in dry and wet conditions. I find these tyres to be very comfortable and smooth.

Best tyre I have had on my deffender

No exposure to snow and icw in South Africa but need replacement after 74000km! Aquaplaned baddly near the end of their life but I suppose thats normal. Handles well in soft sand and corrugated roads. Will buy again.
