The larger family of All-Terrain tires is full of small but important differences. Our performance categories are extremely helpful for you to find the exact tires that best fit your needs. The potentially well-mannered on-road, but capable off-road segment is now filled by the Rugged All-Terrain category. Rugged All-Terrain tires are for those drivers who want competent off-road traction and performance while retaining some on-road civility.
We put the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T, Nitto Ridge Grappler, and Yokohama Geolandar X-AT through our battery of paved road tests to see which one of these offers the best trade-offs on the road for tires designed to be used off the road.
