1. Design

The Toyo Open Country AT III is an all-terrain tire meaning it's suitable for daily driving as well as some mild off-roading here and there. However, looking at the AT III, this is very aggressive for an all-terrain so if you're going for a sharp look, on top of all of that, this is a great option.

Right off the bat, we see that Toyo did away with the large tread voids in the center of the tire that we found on the AT-II. Instead, they made the tread blocks into a sort of S-pattern.

This is great because there is still a good amount of tread hitting the ground. There are also fewer gaps between the blocks which will result in less road noise. There are a ton of tread voids that are ready to evacuate water and rocks to help you maintain grip.

We also see a huge amount of siping on these which will be great for snow driving! The sidewall design of this tire carries over the aggressive styling of the tread. It even features two different sidewall designs so you can choose the one that suits your style.

Performance and Tread Compound

This is an all-terrain tire as we stated; this means that it will have a harder compound than a mud tire. It will still have chip resistance and be softer than a tire made only for the road.

As far as performance goes the AT3 does it all it seems. The Toyo AT3 has off-road traction, on-road wet, dry, and snow traction as well. It is not made to fare well in deep mud or snow but it can get you through some rough situations. It is 3-peak mountain snowflake rated so it is great for all snow conditions.

It has a long tread life and is very durable as well. If you are someone who drives off-road more than on-road then look at a mud-tire. However; if you drive more on-road than off-road but want a tire that is perfectly capable of it all then this is the tire for you.
