The TerrainContact A/T is Continental's On-Road All-Terrain tire developed for the drivers of pickup trucks, Jeeps, SUVs and crossover vehicles looking for civilized behavior on-road with the benefit of off-road capability when they need it. Designed to combine a quiet highway ride and long tread life with all-terrain performance, the TerrainContact A/T provides year-round traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in snow.
TerrainContact A/T tires feature a +Silane enhanced all-season compound molded into a mild all-terrain tread pattern. The open pattern improves traction off-road, while the stable tread blocks and closed shoulder design help provide long tread life and resist uneven wear. The +Silane additives further extend tread life and increase wet grip, and the full-depth sipes and edge-of-the-block traction grooves increase all-season traction throughout the life of the tire.
Internal construction of the TerrainContact A/T includes two high-tensile steel belts with a spirally-wound polyamide reinforcement supported by a two-ply casing.
The Tacoma is back for a new group of 9 all-terrain tires to be put to the test: four Off-Road All-Terrains, four Rugged All-Terrains, and a lone On-Road All-Terrain. The focus of this test is living with all-terrain tires on paved surfaces, day in and day out. How much will comfort, noise, handling, and safety vary across such a diverse grouping of brands and categories, and where will this group of customer favorites and newcomers fit in when ranked against last year’s bunch? Watch now to find out!

Feedback patterns show the Michelin Defender LTX M/S excels in treadwear, with many ratings in the 9-10 range highlighting long-lasting performance. Comfort receives strong praise for a smooth, quiet ride, supported by consistent 8-10 scores for reduced noise and vibration. Winter traction earns positive marks in snow and slush, though ice traction shows occasional 7-8 scores, reflecting typical all-season limitations. Wet traction stands out with near-perfect hydroplaning resistance and grip, scoring 9-10 across most ratings. Dry traction delivers confident handling and stability, with nearly universal 9-10 scores for responsive steering and cornering. Drivers report high satisfaction across all categories, aligning well with its highway-focused all-season design.

In the real world, trucks, Jeeps and SUVs are primarily used to conquer the mundane tasks of everyday life, often never leaving paved surfaces. But confident off-road capability when it's needed and an aggressive look are still key.
Several new On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires designed for the way drivers actually use them have a greater emphasis on noise, comfort and wet traction.
How did they perform in our testing?
