Goodyear Ultraterrain AT vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
So we have learned here that the Goodyear Ultraterrain features a structure which is better on dry road (especially when it comes to steering response), fuel economy, winter traction (lighter terrains only), and off-road does a better job when it comes to gravely roads. Wildpeak AT3w on the other side, is great on wet roads, provides superior comfort, and a quieter ride, and is a great pick for rocks, sand and mud, as it offer bigger groove mouth.
Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Kenda Klever AT2
Toyo Open Country AT3 provides you with better dry performance, and tread life on pavements, and on rugged tracks, it brings better traction on rocks. Kenda Klever AT2 on the other side, features a supple tread compound which yields superior wet and winter traction. And the tire's lighter weight also allows it to be great for sand climbing and fuel efficiency.
Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain AT
Let me close this up by explaining both on and off-road performance. So on roads, the Toyo AT3 does better on dry roads, provides you with better tread life, and is quieter off the two, whereas the Goodyear UltraTerrain provides better fuel economy, and wet + winter grip. Off-road besides sand traction, where Toyo AT3 has an upper hand, the Ultraterrain takes care of the rest in a better way.
Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
Although out of both the Cooper ST Maxx lacks a little on highways, especially on wet ones, it really makes up for it with it's off-road performance. Though still if you want to find a better balanced on and off-road tire, you should go with Falken Wildpeak AT3w.
Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme
Overall both tires have similar dry and wet traction values on pavements with only minor differences (mentioned them all above), though Hankook Xtreme with next gen compound provides better all season traction that's why it does great on winter terrains. Moreover, you also see better results on this tire in terms of fuel economy and off-road, on sandy dunes. Toyo AT3 on the other hand, gives you a quieter on-road ride, more tread life, and off-road it rocks on rocks and is also good enough on muddy terrains.
Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Nitto Nomad Grappler
Out of both tires, although their dry traction is on par, wet traction is seen better on Nitto Nomad Grappler, as the tire features superior siping, which also provide enhanced winter traction. And off-road, it provides superior sand traction. Toyo Open Country AT3 on the other side, is better with tread wear, and provides you with a quieter ride, and although it's mud and rocky terrain traction is not so great, its still better in comparison.
Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
The Dueler AT Revo 3 is a great catch for daily driving, though you would have to compromise a little on wet roads. Wildpeak AT3w on the other side is great with wet grip and hydroplaning, it's going to consume more fuel. Though you also get enhanced off-road traction with it as well, as that durability comes from a thicker tread rubber and solid internal construction.
Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx
So overall, although Cooper ST Maxx provides you with a decent on-road grip on dry (especially directional), with such wider grooves it's still not enough compared to its counterpart. And that goes especially for wet traction, though its not good on both tires. Toyo AT3 on the other side, performs better in nearly all on-road metrics, and lacks off-road comparatively.
Hankook Dynapro AT2 vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w
Out of both tires, although you are going to see a superior performance on rugged terrains, with Falken Wildpeak AT3w, the tire still shines on wet roads as well. Though on dry the Hankook Dynapro AT2 is taking the lead. It's also much better with fuel economy as well, though onpar (almost, if not better), in terms of tread wear.
