WRANGLER ALL-TERRAIN ADVENTURE

<p>Multiple punctures, but not tyre fault. Generally ok, but wet weather performance has been quite bad, hence looking for something more rounded and proper 3PMSF rating, rather than M&S. Wouldn't buy again despite being the factory fitment on my L663 Defender 75 anniversary edition.</p>

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.

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.

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.
