All Terrain tires simply provide you with off road capability while still keeping things quite and comfortable on road. These tires are especially designed in a way to allow stability on both worlds.
And since it’s very tough to find the perfect balance between these two terrains, these AT tires have to undergo a lot of engineering and tread designing to achieve better results.
And that’s where I come in, so you guys can understand, exactly what’s going on with these tires.
All terrain tires are mostly seen with staggered shoulder blocks and sidewall lugs which enhance the off road handling and gripping.
Their inner construction is also much more durable, where they are mostly seen with more no. of plies to protect the sidewalls, which is very susceptible to damage off road.
These tire compared to ordinary ones are provided with larger groove voids and depth so that they can be more capable of getting dirt, mud and water out of the tire.
But with larger grooves, the tire also loses rubber to road contact and this loses the grip. That’s why all terrain tires have to compromise between the aggressiveness and the on road comfort.
Out of both tires, the Kenda AT2 provides you with a great budget pick with amazing traction on roads and stability on rugged terrains. Even though the tire lacks to its counterpart in a lot of performance section, (except for fuel economy…
Comparing both tires, it can be seen why Falken Wildpeak AT3w provides you with better off-road traction with it's superior durability and self-cleaning grooves having larger tread voids and depth up to 19/32". Though what's surprising to note is that the tire…

Overall all-terrain tires can do pretty bad when it comes to mud. But still there are some tires that aren't too off. These tires offers wide enough tread voids and good tread depth, along with staggered shoulders and sidewall lugs. And they…
Compared to all-terrain, all season tires aren't able to provide good enough traction on mud, sand, rocks, or even gravel, that's because they don't have the needed durability, nor their tread pattern has biters on them. Whereas A/T tires give you powerful…
When the Nitto Recon Grappler first came in, I though it was a hybrid, and it looks like though it's made out of Toyo RT and Nitto Ridge (both are part of a same organization). But this tire is an all-terrain, though…
Both mud terrain tires offer premium options for your heavy duty trucks, though still out of them, there are a few areas, where we saw one tire performing better than the other. The BF Goodrich KM3 provides one of the best traction…
Both tires are very different. We have a more aggressive tire at one hand, the Wrangler Duratrac, which is more capable of doing off-road crawling with it's thicker shoulders and prominent tread voids which chew on all kinds of surfaces. And on…
Yokohama Geolandar X-A/T G016 being a rugged terrain tire is a more aggressive option, so its not surprising why it performs better on mud, gravel, rocks, almost all of the tougher terrains. Though you can say, Geolandar A/T is pretty good in…
Both tires offer really amazing all-season traction, where both offer equal winter traction, earning 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Though off road, the BF Goodrich KO2 takes a larger piece of the pie, as it's powerful construction of 3 ply sidewalls can…
Both all-terrain tires although offers a great highway experience with their closed up lugs arrangement, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 still takes the lead in both dry and wet conditions. That's because the tire is more streamlined, allowing better rubber to road connection,…
Both tires look very similar from the shoulder lugs, and that explains why they are both so good in handling on wet and snowy roads. Yet, the Sumitomo Encounter A/T offers superior dry grip, and steering response, along with fuel efficiency and…
Both tires are very on-road aligned with their 5 rib structure, with a slightly more open design, the Cooper AT3 does better on rugged terrains, where it can evacuate out dirt and mud faster. It's sidewall lugs, moreover, also allows it to…
Both tires offer some unique features that allow them to perform differently on various terrains. On roads, the Pirelli does better with grip, steering feedback, noise and fuel economy, whereas Duratrac gives you good enough wet traction and comfort. And off road,…
Both all-terrain tires are coming in at the extreme ends on aggressiveness scale. That's why Workhorse A/T does so much better on road, and BFG KO2 off-road. But even on roads, wet traction is seen better on KO2, whereas snow performance, fuel…
Both hybrid tires are pretty great, but Goodyear DuraTrac lacks in the needed durability, that's why its not so great on rocks. Though its pretty good when it comes to mud, as you get much better evacuation capabilities on this tire. You…

Firestone Destination X/T is an aggressive all-terrain tires, which provides better wet grip and snow traction, though both tires are 3pmsf rated. Off-road this tire is better on sand, mud and rocks, as I've just explained above. Toyo AT3, on the other…
Both tires are overall pretty great, but with more on-road aligned structure, the Sumitomo Encounter A/T does better on roads, whereas, the General Grabber A/TX is better suited for rugged tracks.
Both tires are aggressive all-terrain options, where the Goodyear Duratrac is a lot more, so much that it should be considered rugged terrain tire (which lies between A/T and M/T). So having said that, it's not surprising to see this tire doing…
Both of these tires offer great light all-terrain options. Out of them, the BFG Trail Terrain does a better job off-road, on rocks, dirt, gravel, and even a bit of mud. It also brings in better snow performance as well, though both…
Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse A/T is one of the lightest all-terrain tires that you can get, as it's weight is almost as much as an average passenger tire. So this, combined with biters, its able to provide you with amazing climbing abilities on…
