Goodyear All Terrain Adventure Review

Before I bought these tires I searched on TW and the interwebs and didn't find much of a review thread... certainly not specific to a 1st gen Tacoma.

So I figured I'd start one since I just put them on my truck. I will continually update as the mileage progresses, encounter variable driving conditions and go off road.

Truck specs:

1998 ext cab 3.4L TRD 5-speed
OME 881s, Dakar leafs, nitrosport shocks all around

After driving to and from Discount Tire twice on them, for a total of 5 miles-ish, I can already honestly say these are insanely quiet tires. I've never experienced anything like this in any of my trucks or Legacy GT.

Since 1994 I've been running BFG ATs on my truck and Bronco so this is a new departure for me.

So far they are incredibly smooth and quiet riding tire. Vastly different experience than the BFG ATs.

I am about to embark on a 750 mile road trip so I will get a much better understanding on how they perform on the highway, etc.

I am also excited to see how they handle off road, how low a tire pressure I can run on the trail and see how they handle the rain and snow.

As for the latter I'd imagine it's going to be better than the BFG ATs just based on the tread pattern and how there is a cleaning channel on every outside tread. Every other outside tread on the BFG ATs was blocked and didn't have a channel for snow, mud, etc to self-clean/clear (I don't know how else to explain it).

Here are pics:

 

How much did they cost?

 

After the $80 Goodyear rebate: $130 per tire

But I also bought the Discount Tire warranty then had to pay installation, disposal, etc fees.

 

Gonna have to pick up a set of these this winter. Thanks for the insight!

 

I've put 100 miles on them so far. Dry pavement as well as torrential downpour.

So far, great.

And easily the quietest tire I've ever had. Including road tires for my Legacy GT

 

How'd the rest of the roadtrip go, still no complaints?

 

Forgot to ask, what size?

 

31x10.5 r15

The tires performed amazingly on the road trip. All pavement save a few miles on dirt/gravel roads.

Super quiet and smooth. Hardly any road noise on the highway.

Averaged 23 mpg with 95% of it being highway miles (average speed around 65 mph) in 5th gear around 2250 - 2400 rpms

 

I have these on my 08 Taco. I absolutely love them. I've driven through black ice, rain, mud... They are incredibly tacky. Even climbing clay hills after a good rain, they don't slip. Awesome all around tire.

 

I'm excited to get them off road here on some rocks, dirt and water crossings, etc.

Then I also anticipate to see how they perform in snow, hard packed snow, etc.

 

Do you have the LT or P rated ones, out of curiosity?

 

"After driving to and from Discount Tire twice on them, for a total of 5 miles-ish, I can already honestly say these are insanely quiet tires"

...so were my wrangler RTS... until about 20 k then the whined like crazy on the highway....now I own MICHELIN ltx ms2 ...I have peace & quiet again

 

The P's are the 10-ply right? if so then I have the LT's. tirerack.com didn't have the P's at the time I bought them. They do now and they're the same price with a rebate as I paid for the Lt's.

 

P's are standard tires.
LT is light truck, and comes in 6 ply (C rated) 8 ply (D rated) or 10 ply (E rated)

ex LT265/75r16E is a 10 ply tire.

 

Time will tell. The SilentArmor tires that preceded these performed great when new, judging by the high score on TireRack, but suffered from Kevlar delamination after a number of years.

 

Drove today on these tires on a 2014 frontier. Have also driven them on a tacoma. GARBAGE on wet roads. I couldn't keep up with the minivans and sedans around me on a fresh green light because the road was wet.

 

^ I thought they were great on wet roads. Never an issue.


Finally got to drive it on some snow. Nothing deep but it is super hard packed and somewhat icy with some a dusting of fresh on top.

First impressions are that they are vastly superior to the BFG ATs I've always run. I'm not in 4WD and when it was safe I tried kicking the back out around a corner to get a feel for the tires. Much better grip in the snow. The rear would start to slide out and it would eventually catch and just go.

Braking in these conditions is much nicer too. So is acceleration.

I'm so used to the BFG ATs that I'm always ready to counter steer. None was needed even when pushing it harder than I would normally do in these conditions.

So far I'm thoroughly impressed with these tires. Especially for a fraction of the cost.

 

5000 miles later still insanely quiet.

 

Finally got to test them out on real snow.

Just drove 35 miles in very wintry conditions. Road conditions varied from unplowed 6" with hardpack, sheer ice, mix of dry/hard pack and standard CO wintery roads.

Tires performed flawlessly. Was in 4wd the whole time and felt incredibly solid.

Once I got into my neighborhood, which is completely unplowed, I was pushing it (safely) around turns. Never once got loose.

In short these tires are vastly superior in the snow than the BFG ATs.

IMO at least, any way.

 

Got these for my truck back in October I believe. Awesome tires! Put around 2-3k miles on them. Still grip well on pavement and rarely slips in rain. Extremely quiet as well. Couldn't be happier with mine.
