Tire A Grandtrek A/T3
Pros
- Exceptional on-road grip and handling for an all-terrain tire
- Surprisingly quiet operation and good ride comfort until heavily worn
- Strong wet and dry performance that resolves traction issues experienced with previous tires
Cons
- Significantly reduced traction on ultra-smooth wet surfaces such as painted cement in car parks
- Increased road noise becomes noticeable once worn past the tread wear indicators
Tire B Grabber AT3
Pros
- Exceptionally low road noise for an all-terrain tire, maintaining high highway comfort
- Strong on-road handling and grip in both dry and wet conditions
- Reliable light off-road traction, particularly on grass, gravel, dirt tracks, and light mud
Cons

“I've always used KO2s but was getting really low miles out of a set on my 1 ton van for some reason. Switched to AT3s and pretty happy with them.”

“I have at3’s on my 19 f250 , I love them 23,000 miles on them and maybe I’m halfway into the tread life . I’m easily getting at least 40,000 miles out of them probably close to 50,000 till I get a new set .”

I just had them rotated, tires were at 5/32 left, not quite to the bars. So I should get another 10,000 out of them, but they will be into the bars by then. I have noticed about the last 2000 miles, they are getting feathered and they are getting loud. I will see how much of it I can take before changing. But, I love them and they do look awesome!”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
