The Perfect Off-Road Tire For Crosstrek, CRV, and RAV4 Owners
I’ve long preached that all-terrain tires are the most important upgrade for any adventure vehicle as they provide the traction and stability needed for steep, rough, unpredictable roads. I personally use the BF Goodrich KO3s on my 2024 Toyota Tundra, and am often glad I have them. Just this past weekend those tires helped me and my family safely climb a rocky, steep, and harrowing mining road up to my favorite camping spot at 11,000 feet outside Silverton, Colorado.
But what if you drive a smaller, crossover vehicle like a Subaru Crosstrek or Honda CRV that’s not designed for all-terrain tires? What if you’re not interested in off-roading or rock-crawling and just want to cruise down a forest road to find a dispersed camping spot without worrying about getting a flat? You’re far from alone: this is the case for many, if not most, outdoor adventurers, and is the reason BF Goodrich makes the Trail-Terrain.
Originally launched back in 2021, the Trail-Terrain T/A received an update in June (it’s now called the T/A +). This new version sits in a small group of crossover-specific, all-terrain tires that include the Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT, Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT, and the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. All the tires in this category will add important performance, but BFG’s Trail-Terrain T/A+ is the most updated. Initial testing suggests the Trail-Terrain T/A+ is a smart choice for drivers who don’t want to get too crazy but still need more performance and protection than what they’d find in an all-season tire.
