Its traction adaptability to mid-way speed changes was not exactly stellar, but enough to veer our Jeep into line without spiraling down the road. We were also pretty pleased with how this road tire redeemed itself around roadblocks once the danger zone was over, striking quite a good balance between flexibility and sidewall sturdiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our experiments with extended wet grass terrains remained just as delightful; the grooves encountered little trouble bending the tickling grass under the patch to pave a clearer way for itself. Texture transitions from smooth asphalt to grass (and vice versa) were barely an issue, except for slight faltering around the corners that you could have easily controlled using strategic shuffle steering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rugged mountain passes are where Kevlar starts to show its pronounced lack of confidence. While its footholds were relatively retained throughout most of our straight-line endeavors, they stuttered on thicker gravel and plummeted dramatically upon inconsistent, graded surface angles. Thus, we had no choice but to alternate between hard braking and downshifts to keep the contact patch well-established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-dry-test.jpg\" alt=\"Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure dry test\" class=\"wp-image-6794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-dry-test.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-dry-test-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-dry-test-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure dry test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Corner Stability: 8\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the lack of cornering-focus features, Kevlar did a greater job than expected when dealing with <strong>early apex and gentle<\/strong>, sweeping curves on both regular streets and highways. Each thud landed precisely on the designated entry points and kept its momentum well throughout the liner down to the exit, taking little time recovering traction drifts and occasional over-reactions near the borderlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On another note, you may want to engage dynamic accelerations more cautiously; some of the sidewall parts were still too soft to handle that huge amount of concentrated pressure within limited timeframes. Tight, alternating switchbacks and corner carvings also wore down the tire quite fast, leading to fainter footings after the first five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Steering Response: 8.2\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrangler AT Adventure knew how to monitor and catch up with our constantly-changing inputs, judging by its accurate and intimate feedback for lane changes and sweeping skids towards <strong>90-degree directional turns<\/strong>. The way it veered around other vehicles or roadblocks could have used more subtlety &#8211; but all in all, it still stayed very much in our favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when put against other tires, Kevlar displayed a concerning lack of confidence during impromptu leans or emergency brakings against unexpected road twists. Delays at turns were to be expected when we revved up to 50 MPH. Any attempt to raise above the <strong>50-MPH<\/strong> benchmark will also strip your car of its smooth, continuous bond with the road pavements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-wet-performance-7-4-10\"><strong>2. Wet Performance: 7.4\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[visualizer id=&#8221;6633&#8243; lazy=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wet Traction: 7.3\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The tire was at its peak on damp grass or shallow puddles dotted over an otherwise dry road. And even during such non-challenging circumstances, ominous stutters still occurred every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our car started to experience serious shudders upon heavily slippery surfaces during and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-tires-for-rain\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3026\">post-rain<\/a>. Wrangler Adventure\u2019s traction ridges and open blocks could not deliver half of their advertised power and kept tripping over themselves despite our sluggish driving rates (<strong>below 35 MPH<\/strong>). Worse, cornering endeavors were almost impossible unless we started to veer the steering wheel from at least 1 foot before the actual entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still ride the car safely in heavy rainy seasons with this tire, but do not expect smooth, clean strikes on every wet surface. Accelerations and hard brakings should also be avoided at all costs to keep Kevlar\u2019s panic reactions at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-wet-test.jpg\" alt=\"Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure wet test\" class=\"wp-image-6799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-wet-test.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-wet-test-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Goodyear-Wrangler-All-Terrain-Adventure-wet-test-768x469.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure wet test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hydroplaning Resistance: 7.4\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevlar\u2019s simplistic tread designs and almost non-existent channels obviously did not work well against hydroplaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Jeep kept slipping on rainwater and took about five seconds longer than other tires to re-establish the contact points; packing the Jeep full with four passengers only worsened the triggers and almost sent the car crashing at carousels.

In fact, the tire-road connection was even fainter here than during rainy seasons, only surging under extra steering force and losing momentum too fast to handle any dynamic techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airing down the tire to 15 PSI did help us a little with traction maintenance, however.

Reducing passengers and cargo weight did not help us much, judging by the same dragging feel under the contact patch that carried on till the very last few miles of our test rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, you can still tackle occasional slush on dry or gravel dirt, but an entire muddy road section is certainly out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-winter-snow-performance-6-4-10\"><strong>4.

Hence, you should only use the tire around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-winter-snow-tires\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5518\">late winter<\/a> and early-mid spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deep Snow Traction: 6.4\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar suffered from significant traction reduction on deep snow terrains, repeating almost every drawback observed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-off-road-tires\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5281\">off-road<\/a> mud paths.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow chains seemed useless, if not even dragging the tire down around corners. Thus, you should avoid these terrains at all costs or only travel a short distance, preferably below 2 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ice Traction: 5.7\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our ride had to stop short after 3 miles due to the horrible drifting and panic reactions at <strong>10 MPH<\/strong> &#8211; which was more than enough proof of how incompatible Kevlar was against ice terrains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasional buildups and ice melting could still be dealt with at regular driving rates regardless of your car model. But frankly, so did almost every other premium tire, so we could hardly call this a competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-comfort-7-8-10\"><strong>5. Comfort: 7.8\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[visualizer id=&#8221;6631&#8243; lazy=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ride Quality: 7.7\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevlar could handle road bumps pretty decently at <strong>40 to 45 MPH<\/strong> and kept wavering ribs somewhat under control during corners. However, the tire was still pushed to the bottom of the list due to unpredictable shakes on wet and off-road paths; the way its sidewalls cave into themselves during sharp turns will likely tick you off as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Road Noise Levels: 7.9\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-tires-for-comfort-and-noise\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5519\">noise control<\/a> could have definitely been better at corners, high-speed leans, and rough push-pull up steep ascents, Kevlar was actually quite pleasant in most basic steering situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casual maneuvers around predictable obstacles are unlikely to disturb your rides, and extra loads of no more than <strong>700 lbs<\/strong> did not result in annoying sidewall groans like some other tires we have tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-tread-wear-and-durability-6-7-10\"><strong>6. Tread Wear and Durability: 6.7\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other Goodyear tires, Kevlar showed disappointing strength against heavy abuse and frequent usage, evident in the muted feedback and shredded top after a mere one week into the test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In compensation, the <strong>60,000-mile warranty<\/strong> is quite reassuring &#8211; especially given how short-lived this all-terrain tire is &#8211; so you do not have to worry much about treadwear problems for 5-6 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kevlars-pros-and-cons\"><strong>Kevlar&#8217;s Pros and Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2e0ad93c\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-0c4c2cfa\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-9892f6bb\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9892f6bb\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-07f3310c\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5ebb3e5e gb-headline-text\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5fc41834\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-a4fcd89a\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M438.6 105.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-256 256c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0l-128-128c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0L160 338.7 393.4 105.4c12.5-12.5 32.8-12.5 45.3 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Pretty good dry traction<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-7ea72154\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M438.6 105.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-256 256c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0l-128-128c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0L160 338.7 393.4 105.4c12.5-12.5 32.8-12.5 45.3 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Not bad on off-road dirt<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-709101f9\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M438.6 105.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-256 256c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0l-128-128c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0L160 338.7 393.4 105.4c12.5-12.5 32.8-12.5 45.3 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Decent noise control<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1d3deb44\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M438.6 105.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-256 256c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0l-128-128c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0L160 338.7 393.4 105.4c12.5-12.5 32.8-12.5 45.3 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Fairly comfortable rides<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-8824e880\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8824e880\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5e1eefab\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-0af848a6\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1c8f49fd gb-headline-text\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4637398c\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-abd8bbd0\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M376.6 84.5c11.3-13.6 9.5-33.8-4.1-45.1s-33.8-9.5-45.1 4.1L192 206 56.6 43.5C45.3 29.9 25.1 28.1 11.5 39.4S-3.9 70.9 7.4 84.5L150.3 256 7.4 427.5c-11.3 13.6-9.5 33.8 4.1 45.1s33.8 9.5 45.1-4.1L192 306 327.4 468.5c11.3 13.6 31.5 15.4 45.1 4.1s15.4-31.5 4.1-45.1L233.7 256 376.6 84.5z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Wet traction could have been better<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-2500514f\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M376.6 84.5c11.3-13.6 9.5-33.8-4.1-45.1s-33.8-9.5-45.1 4.1L192 206 56.6 43.5C45.3 29.9 25.1 28.1 11.5 39.4S-3.9 70.9 7.4 84.5L150.3 256 7.4 427.5c-11.3 13.6-9.5 33.8 4.1 45.1s33.8 9.5 45.1-4.1L192 306 327.4 468.5c11.3 13.6 31.5 15.4 45.1 4.1s15.4-31.5 4.1-45.1L233.7 256 376.6 84.5z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Unrideable in deep snowy conditions, ice, and mud<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-3ecfbc3f\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" height=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M376.6 84.5c11.3-13.6 9.5-33.8-4.1-45.1s-33.8-9.5-45.1 4.1L192 206 56.6 43.5C45.3 29.9 25.1 28.1 11.5 39.4S-3.9 70.9 7.4 84.5L150.3 256 7.4 427.5c-11.3 13.6-9.5 33.8 4.1 45.1s33.8 9.5 45.1-4.1L192 306 327.4 468.5c11.3 13.6 31.5 15.4 45.1 4.1s15.4-31.5 4.1-45.1L233.7 256 376.6 84.5z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Disappointing tread life<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on on-road terrains, the Goodyear Adventure with Kevlar is not always punctually predictable.
