Firestone Destination XT vs Cooper Discoverer A/T3 XLT
Both all-terrain tires although offers a great highway experience with their closed up lugs arrangement, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 still takes the lead in both dry and wet conditions. That's because the tire is more streamlined, allowing better rubber to road connection, and have interlocking sipes, which stay flexible during turning on wet pavements. The Firestone Destination on the other side, is only better with snowy roads, though it's fuel economy and comfort is also considerable.
Sumitomo Encounter AT vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
Both tires look very similar from the shoulder lugs, and that explains why they are both so good in handling on wet and snowy roads. Yet, the Sumitomo Encounter A/T offers superior dry grip, and steering response, along with fuel efficiency and comfort, whereas, the Falken Wildpeak AT3w provides better durability, and off-road traction on mud and rocks.
Sumitomo Encounter A/T vs Cooper Discoverer A/T3
Both tires are very on-road aligned with their 5 rib structure, with a slightly more open design, the Cooper AT3 does better on rugged terrains, where it can evacuate out dirt and mud faster. It's sidewall lugs, moreover, also allows it to have superior lateral traction on rocks. On roads, it does better with noise, and dry grip, but here overall performance is more noticeable on Sumitomo A/T.
Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus vs Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac
Both tires offer some unique features that allow them to perform differently on various terrains. On roads, the Pirelli does better with grip, steering feedback, noise and fuel economy, whereas Duratrac gives you good enough wet traction and comfort. And off road, it rocks on almost all terrains expect for sand, where Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus offers better climbing abilities.
Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT vs BF Goodrich KO2
Both all-terrain tires are coming in at the extreme ends on aggressiveness scale. That's why Workhorse A/T does so much better on road, and BFG KO2 off-road. But even on roads, wet traction is seen better on KO2, whereas snow performance, fuel economy, wear and noise is better handled with Wrangler Workhorse.
Yokohama Geolandar X-AT vs Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac
Both hybrid tires are pretty great, but Goodyear DuraTrac lacks in the needed durability, that's why its not so great on rocks. Though its pretty good when it comes to mud, as you get much better evacuation capabilities on this tire. You also get a better design for highways as well in its case, though the tire is very loud.
Firestone Destination X/T vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
Both tires here are aggressive all-terrain though still, out of them, Falken Wildpeak AT3w does better in almost all types of rugged lands, including rocks, and mud. Though sand and snow traction is dealt with better on Destination X/T. On road, Firestone offers superior dry performance, whereas Falken gives you top-notch traction on wet.
Sumitomo Encounter A/T vs Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015
Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is one of the best tires to have (in all-terrain tires) when it comes to comfort and on road noise. The tire offers amazing ride quality values. Though traction wise, the Sumitomo A/T takes the cherry.
Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
Both all-terrain tires although look pretty aggressive, the Workhorse A/T provides a better grip on dry roads, superior noise reduction, fuel economy and off-road it's also great on sandy dunes. Falken AT3w on the other hand is superb on wet roads, and off road it shines on rocks and even a little bit of mud with its one of the deepest tread voids, reaching up to 19/32".
