Toyo AT3 is severe mud rated with capabilities to navigate through heavy mud.Water traction of Toyo AT3 is better due to wider grooves and deeper sipes.General AT3 performs better on-road due to lower void ratio.The customers must decide among these two based on their requirements and preferences.

General AT3 in a lower price range tire which provides a comfortable on-road drive with better ice traction and well-built strength (Lesser compared to others). The reason is simple, due to Toyo AT3’s higher off-road capabilities, Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating, higher built strength along with great mileage and durability. Toyo AT3 is available in a higher price range compared to its counter, General AT3. This allows a more relaxed journey through unpaved paths. While off-roading, the tire can provide a very smooth and comfortable ride since its wider grooves can effectively absorb the jerks when traveling over an uneven, rough surface. These particles strike with the sidewall back and forth which generates unwanted noise, decreasing the tire’s on-road comfort. Toyo AT3 has a higher void ratio allowing a greater number of air particles to get trapped inside its wider grooves when traveling on road at high speed. On an uneven path, this tire may face problems in dealing with the harsh jerks as it can’t dampen their amplitude, making the ride uncomfortable. Its noise level is low because its tread features lower voids between its tread blocks allowing a lesser number of particles to get trapped inside them when traveling on-road at high speed. The lower void ratio of General AT3 allows better performance on-road in the noise department. (Compared to General AT3) Which tire is more comfortable? This results in higher durability and mileage of the tire. The higher built strength also further decreases the treadwear by improving its treadwear resistance. It has better built, having a robust foundation with twin high-strength steel belts and improved sidewalls. This affects the treadwear of the tire positively, which gets lowered significantly. Toyo AT3 has a higher void ratio which allows lower contact with the road, decreasing its rolling resistance which is the force needed to keep the tire rolling. This decreases the durability and mileage of the tire. The built of the tire is strong but doesn’t compare to its competitor as a result, it doesn’t provide much treadwear resistance. It is made of robust material and high-strength steel belts for extra strength. The higher rolling resistance leads to more treadwear. General AT3 has a higher contact area with the road causing higher rolling resistance therefore, a higher amount of energy will be utilized to keep the tire moving. The built of the tire is also stronger to resist the trail damages like cuts and chips, making this tire favorite on rocky terrain. The bold stone ejectors in Toyo Open Country AT3 prevent the stones from getting stuck inside the grooves and drilling through them. These all factors lead to the poor performance of this tire on rocks. The built of the tire is not as good as the Toyo tire which makes the tire vulnerable to trail damages like cuts and chips. General AT3 lacks in rock traction due to the absence of bold stone ejectors which prevent the stones from getting stuck inside its grooves.

On other hand, the tire struggles on ice due to its lower contact patch and fewer sipes, causing the tire to slip on ice. See Tire 10.Toyo AT3 has wider grooves which bolsters its soft snow traction as they allow efficient evacuation of soft snow, allowing the tire to move forward.
