How to choose all-terrain tires

What this ranking rests on

Only 17 of these 30 all-terrain tires have an independent road test, so this ranking leans on owner reviews: 8,810 of them. The ± after each score shows how sure it is.

All-terrain, mud-terrain or highway?

All-terrain tires split the difference: tread open enough for gravel, dirt and light mud, quiet and long-lasting enough for daily miles. For mostly paved driving, the daily-driving board above ranks them by noise, comfort and tread life together.

Buying tips

  • Snow: look for the three-peak mountain snowflake on the sidewall; the snow column shows how each tire does.
  • LT or P-metric: LT sizes have stiffer sidewalls for towing and heavy loads; P-metric rides softer.
  • Load range: match or exceed the original (SL, XL, C, D, E).

Our short answer

Falken WildPeak A/T4W leads this ranking, and Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent scores highest in snow.

How we rank

Each tire’s score blends independent road tests (60%: braking distances, lap times, noise measured by the testers) with owner reviews found online (40%; comfort 40/60), all on one scale where the average tested tire gets 70. Newer tests count more, and each result is weighed against the other tires in the same test.

The ± after a score is its margin of error: with more tests and reviews the score would most likely stay within it. The list ranks by the score less a margin for thin evidence, so a lucky result never wins, and a tire replaced by a newer generation drops back. A tire needs two road tests or enough owner reviews to be listed.

Testers behind this list include Tire Rack, Auto Bild, Consumer Reports, ADAC, Wybór Kierowców, Promobil, Auto Zeitung, SA4x4.
