ADAC/ÖAMTC/TCS: All-Terrain Tire Test R17 2025

All-terrain tires promise the best of both worlds: rugged off-road capability and safe on-road performance. But do they truly deliver? Europe’s leading automotive clubs—ADAC, ÖAMTC, and TCS—put eight models to the test in 2025, aiming to answer whether these adventure-ready tires can handle daily driving as reliably as they tackle dirt trails.
The trial, conducted on the popular 225/65 R17 size, exposed a harsh truth: while all-terrain tires excel on gravel and snow, their performance on paved roads raises serious concerns. Wet braking emerged as a critical weakness, with some models struggling dangerously compared to standard all-season tires. Even top contenders failed to match the safety benchmarks of conventional options, leaving testers unable to recommend any all-terrain model for routine road use.
