From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A receives a polarized reception, praised for its aesthetic appeal, impressive snow traction, and quiet highway performance. However, significant concerns regarding wet-weather handling and inconsistent tread longevity suggest that performance may vary considerably based on vehicle weight and driving conditions.
Pros
- Excellent traction and predictability in snow and ice conditions
- Quiet highway ride quality for an all-terrain tire
- Robust sidewall durability against rocky terrain
- Attractive visual design with white lettering options
Cons
- Poor wet-weather performance and traction issues on paved surfaces
- Inconsistent tread life reports ranging from premature wear to high mileage
- Reports of excessive road noise on specific tarmac surfaces
Observations
- Users operating pickup trucks like the Toyota Hilux reported significant traction loss in wet conditions, suggesting potential issues with rear-wheel-drive bias vehicles.
- Hybrid SUV owners, such as those with the RAV4, reported high satisfaction with highway tread longevity and noise levels.
The Firestone Multihawk 2 is generally regarded as a budget-friendly, dry-weather performer that offers good comfort and low noise levels. However, it receives significant criticism for its performance in wet conditions, with multiple users reporting dangerous levels of traction loss and unpredictable handling during rain.
Pros
- Strong dry-weather grip and handling
- High levels of ride comfort
- Low road noise
- Competitive price point
Cons
- Poor wet-weather traction and braking performance
- Unpredictable handling and tendency to slide on wet surfaces
- Lack of audible feedback when reaching the limit of grip

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
