Well, this might cause a few arguments. A German magazine just published it's (very) in depth all terrain tire test, and while this is a German magazine testing the A/T tires on a van, these tires are the same as available in the US market, and they're testing in the very all terrain 255/55 R18 size.The test field consisted of five proper 3 peak (3PMSF winter rating) all terrain tires, the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, Bridgestone Dueler A/T 002, Falken Wildpeak AT3 W/A, General Grabber AT3, and the Loder AT1. The Loder AT1 is particularly notable as it's specifically developed for motorhomes with a high load rating of 1320kg per tire, making it suitable for vehicles up to approximately 4.5 tonnes.The second group of tires includes two tires without winter rating: the new Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure as a summer AT tire, and the Continental Cross-Contact H/T as a more road-focused SUV tire included for comparison.This test is possibly the best we've ever seen, as it has 6 different offroad tests, and dry testing, wet testing AND snow testing. Plus rolling resistance, noise, comfort. The only thing missing is wear.So why might this test cause arguments. Well, the fan favourite BFGoodrich All Terrain KO2 finished last of the all terrain tires, largely thanks to a poor on road performance. It had poor dry and wet grip (something we've commented on before), and was loud and bumpy, but it did do well offroad and in snow. It's key rivals, the Falken Wildpeak AT3W and General Grabber AT3 both performed much better, with the magazine concluding that the Falken was the best all terrain tire overall, no matter what % of offroad driving you do, and regardless of how much snow you see (we're not sure we agree on the snow part as in other tests the Falken has been further behind.)Sadly the two 'extra' tires were not tested in the snow, so you can't compare them overall, but you can in the individual tests. The Continental CrossContact HT lagged behind offroad, as expected from an all season tire, however it was by far the best on the road, and had the best rolling resistance and best comfort. The non-winter rated Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure performed well on and off-road.One final note, you might know that both the Falken and BFGoodrich have already been replaced, in fact . Sadly neither of them are available in Europe yet, hence the previous models.As always, the data is the most important part for finding the best tire for you, so please check it out below., About All-Terrain Tires: Prepared to take you anywhere you want to go, from the freeway to mud, gravel, and snow.
