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.
With a more aggressive tread design, you get a superior traction off-road on Grabber ATX. That's out there. But what's still surprising to see, is that tire also does relatively better on snow, and wet roads, as well as tread wear department.…
Overall, as I discussed above, the Cooper AT3 is a better tire on dry and wet roads, in terms of traction, fuel winter and comfort performance. The Pro Comp A/T on the other side, with it's greater number of biting edges yield…
So it all comes down to this. You may want to get Hankook Dynapro ATM, if you want a better on-road tire in terms of grip, fuel usage, and comfort (quieter ride). Otherwise go with General Grabber ATX. This tire comes with…
Overall its safe to say that both tires have their good and bad. The Kenda Klever AT2 gives superior wet and winter grip, and off-road its better on rocks and mud (mild terrains). Whereas the Cooper AT3 does better with comfort (in…
The Hankook Dynapro AT2 does better on dry roads, in terms of traction (comes with higher speed ratings), and comfort by offering a much quieter ride. Moreover the tire is also more fuel efficient despite having a greater weight. The Grabber ATX…
So overall, keep in mind that, if you are mostly traveling on wet roads, you should consider Cooper AT3 here. The tire would also provide superior tread life, and is better off-road here in comparison. The Kumho AT52 on the other side,…
So overall, it comes down to this. The Hankook AT2 is a better tire when you consider, dry on-road traction, tread life, and overall comfort (in terms of noise). And on the other side, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 is superior on wet…
So overall, we saw here that even though Cooper AT3 is good with directional grip, the overall on-road performance (dry), is seen better on Hankook AT2. Moreover, the tire also does great with tread life, and winter traction. And off-road its great…
So let me conclude all of it here quickly. The Mickey Thompson 38 AT provides superior dry grip, and is great off-road on muddy terrains. Whereas the Cooper AT3 does better with wet grip, comfort, fuel and tread life, and off-road, yields…
Overall it all comes down to this. Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S although gives you a great wet traction, and tread life, it lacks in fuel economy and on-road comfort (in terms of noise). BF Goodrich Trail Terrain on the other side, does…
So overall, the Cooper AT3 is a better pick for pavements, roads, and highways, both in wet and dry environments. This is because it provides better traction (grip), steering response, fuel economy and tread life. The General Grabber APT although is good…
Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure is better tire to have for highways. It's yields slightly better grip and handling efficacy in both wet and dry environments. Moreover, the tire is also better with fuel, tread wear and on-road comfort. Cooper AT3 XLT on…
