Hi Folks. I'm Ozmen, and I work as a tire designer. I understand finding a tire isn't easy, as there are so many variables involved. But with me around, tire selection would never bother you again.

Michelin LTX M/S

Goodyear Wrangler Adventure vs Michelin Defender LTX M/S

Out of both tires the Michelin LTX MS being an all season tire offers better results in all on-road performance metrics. It's better in terms of gripping and steering response (on both wet and dry asphalts), and it does great reducing on-road noise, brings better tread life, and supplies superior fuel economy. The Goodyear Wrangler Adventure on the other hand, although is only lacking by a margin on dry roads, it's wet traction can be improved a good deal. Though the tire makes up for it on rugged tracks, with it's superior gripping abilities.

Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 vs Goodyear Wrangler Adventure

Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 vs Goodyear Wrangler Adventure

Let's sum things up here. The Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 although lacks in the highways performance section, with limited traction and steering response, the tire makes up for it on (mild) rugged tracks. Moreover, despite having 3PMSF rating, it also features superior winter traction. Goodyear Wrangler Adventure on the other side, does greater on highways, though lacks in the fuel department, and has almost on part tread life.

Hankook Dynapro AT2

Hankook Dynapro AT2 vs MT2

Hankook Dynapro AT2 provides you with better on-road girp, handling and steering response, which is no surprise, given it's a considerably less aggressive. Same goes for its other on-road dimensions, such as fuel, comfort and tread life, they are all seen much better on this tire as well. But off-road, of course, the beast, Hankook MT2 shines, in nearly all key terrains, including mud of course, sand, rocks, as well as gravel and dirt filled roads.

Yokohama Geolandar G015

Hankook Dynapro AT2 vs Yokohama Geolandar G015

Both tires have their good and bad. The Hankook Dynapro AT2 is great on dry roads, in terms of traction, tread life and off-road offers superior grip on mud and rocks, though lacks in sand to its counterpart. The Geolandar A/T G015 on the flip side is great on wet performance, and offers amazing comfort values without compromising too much on fuel economy.

Michelin Defender LTX MS

Continental TerrainContact AT vs Michelin Defender LTX MS

Although its not recommended that you skip all of the above, for folks in a hurry, let me compile down everything. The Continental TerrainContact is the quietest all-terrain tire, which also does great in terms of grip on dry roads. And although it gives out higher rolling resistance with that grip, it's tread life is still relatively better, if you compare LT sizes. Moreover, these sizes also provide superior off-road traction, in all types of terrains. On the other side, the Michelin Defender LTX MS supplies superior wet traction, with it's amazing steering response. And it's a more comfortable tire to have on-roads, which is also superior in terms of fuel economy (and tread life, considering non-LT sizes).

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

Kanati Trail Hog vs Goodyear DuraTrac

Although both tires look very similar to one another, there are still a lot of difference between them. Let me summarize them for you. The Kanati Trail Hog is although pretty lacking on roads, its a good enough tire in comparison when it comes to dry grip, and winter traction. And off-road it shines on rocky and gravely terrains. On the other side, the Goodyear Duratrac is pretty impressive on pavements when things are wet. And it's winter performance is on par. Off-road its does better with softer terrains, such as sand and mud, providing more resistance to digging.

Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3

Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 vs Continental TerrainContact AT

Both tires are very different in their designs, and it also goes for their performance as well. Out of both, the Continental TerrainContact AT supplies superior directional grip and handling along with steering response in both wet and dry environments, and its one of the quietest tires you can get in the all-terrain category. The Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 on the other hand, supplies better fuel economy and tread life, gives slightly better winter traction, and has similar rocky terrain performance. Though it's better on sand in an incline traction test.

Hankook Dynapro AT2

Hankook Dynapro XT vs AT2

The Hankook AT2 is a better tire when it comes to on-road traction (in both dry and wet environments). And you also get superior fuel, treadwear and noise dampening performance as well. The Dynapro X/T on the other hand, is although not so bad on roads, it really lacks on wet. Though it evens out that with its superior off-road performance in almost all areas.

Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure

Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure vs TrailRunner

So let me summarize all of the things I discussed above, though it's highly recommended that you don't miss out on any of the above detailed explanation. The Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner is the exact copy of Goodyear Workhorse A/T, I added it's link in the tread section. This tire offers a very lighter structure, though compromises on it's durability. Yet with it's interlocking structure and greater number of biters, it does great all off-road terrains. And although on-roads, there aren't any complaints when it comes to dry traction, it's wet traction is disappointing. The Goodyear Wrangler Adventure on the other hand, features a very longitudinally aligned structure, so it's grip on highways is superior, in both wet and dry environments. Moreover, the tire also does better in terms of fuel economy and tread life.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac

Toyo Open Country RT vs Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac

So it all comes down to this. Overall, as I discussed above, even though both tires come in hybrid category, having mud-terrain like shoulder lugs, the on-road performance is still seen better on Goodyear Duratrac. This goes especially when things are wet. Moreover, apart form that, the tire also offers superior efficacy in term of fuel economy, tread life and comfort (only considering its bumps absorption capabilities, and not the noise, as the tire is very loud). Toyo Open Country RT on the other side although does OK on dry pavements, it severely lacks on wet and snowy terrains with its limited siping. Though the tire shines off road mostly on rocky and gravely terrains (but lacks on softer terrains such as mud and sand, to its counterpart).

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs Goodyear DuraTrac

Out of both tires, its not a surprise to see Kumho Road Venture AT52 providing better performance on roads, in terms of traction in both wet and dry environments, fuel consumption, tread life and winter grip. Whereas on Goodyear DuraTrac, shines off-road in all types of rugged terrains, including rocks, sand and even mud (where Kumho doesn't stand a chance).

Hankook Dynapro AT2

Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs Hankook Dynapro AT2

The Kumho Road Venture AT52 is a better tire when it comes to wet road traction. The tire also features superior comfort and winter gripping capability. On the other hand, the Hankook Dynapro AT2 excels in tread life and noise dampening on roads. Off-road, it offers superior traction in rocky and muddy terrains, though it falls a bit short on sand due to its missing sidewall lugs.
