Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure
Community sentiment toward the Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar is predominantly positive, with owners highlighting its smooth and quiet highway ride, capable mild-to-moderate off-road traction, and solid tread life. Many appreciate its durability and value over competitors, though several users note minor drawbacks such as decreased fuel economy and mixed feedback regarding wet and winter braking performance, particularly between LT and P-metric versions.
“I run that tire on my F150, different size and in Load Range C. Its funny reading the reviews on them as they sell the tire in LT sizes and in P-series sizes, and the bad reviews are usually on the P-series sizes (shallower tread, and not 3PMSF rated either). For me, they've been a good tire. They can be a bit squirrley in rain, and I run dedicated winter tires so I'm not concerned about winter performance. Overall, they've been quiet, great dry weather, and capable enough off road and on gravel. The pair that didn't get a non-repairable screw in them from the factory made it out to 80k miles of use Still had 4/32 tread at that point...”
“Just put a set on my 2012 platinum and they are great. I replaced the stock pirellis which were still in good shape but were terrible in the snow. I've only had the tires on for about a week so I don't have a long term review although we have gotten a lot of snow where I am the past week and I can say they work great in snow also on wet roads and remain quiet on dry roads. I have no off road review tho. Very happy with the purchase”
“I have pictures in my gallery, they are lame. They look nice, nothing fancy, ok for me as I kept the stock size. My gas mileage dropped, they are heavier than my previous tires (wrangler ATS) and have a deeper, more aggressive tread. I spoke with goodyear tech support before purchasing and they told me to expect a 5-10% increase in fuel consumption right away which is holding true. It will improve with time. As for performance, after several long haul trips up north into Northern Ontario, smooth and quiet on the highway, and really handling the trails nicely. I've gone done some pretty knarly trails(I'm talking deep forest unmaintained trails with no cell phone service) the last few weeks and have little fear of punctures from the sharp rocks and stuff or getting stuck. I do recommend road force balance, highway ride went from OK to smooth as glass after that. I drove for a couple of weeks before the balance issues really got on my nerves and had to try something.”

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.
