Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Trail-Terrain T/A

Pros

  • Low road noise for an all-terrain tire, with several reviewers calling it quieter than previous tires such as the AT3 and other all-terrains
  • Strong snow and ice performance, including a Colorado snowstorm and multiple Alps trips with up to a foot of snow
  • Comfortable, smooth ride and good handling and braking on the road

Cons

  • Poor wet-weather traction reported by several reviewers, including wheelspin, lack of confidence on wet roads and ABS activation issues
  • Some reviewers found road noise high on paved surfaces, and one called it outrageously noisy, though others found it quiet
  • Wear is faster for some owners, with one set nearing replacement after about 20,000 miles and two years

Tire B Wildpeak WP A/T01

Pros

  • Quiet and comfortable on-road, with several reviewers noting very little road noise, including on motorways and rural roads
  • Strong dry-road performance and capable off-road/light trail traction
  • Good initial wet grip and road manners when new; one reviewer found them quieter and better gripping than their previous BFGoodrich T/As

Cons

  • Wet-weather grip that is poor or deteriorates with age, with reports of aquaplaning, wheelspin on hills or tight turns, and a need to engage 4WD in rain
  • Snow and ice performance is weak, particularly in mushy snow, and can fade markedly after the first season or two
  • Tread life is inconsistent and often shorter than expected: about 30k (roadworthy only) on one Patrol, 40-45k per set for another owner, and noticeable degradation by 20,000 km for another

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
