I now have 2500 miles on my new At2s and feel loke i can review them vs The older Atm.
Our winter has been horrible driving conditions last two months 1/4 inch of glare ice everywhere days, 3-5 inches of snow on highway. .
Perfect for testing these tires!
From what i can tell they preform very simular to the Atms , except in deeper snow or mud i would give the nod to the Atms they seem to have better lug clean out / grip in deeper stuff.
The Atms r 50% noiser but still much quieter than a full mud tire by a long shot,
Other than these slight differences they seem to be equals on ice, “as i said in another post if your not using the top 20% of ice tires these r going to out do most tires even full winter tires / i have driven, Nokians and Blizzaks so i understand full ice-winter tire grip,
these r both amazing for a all weather tire than can be driven all year vs most full winter tires, that need to be changed out,
unless you drive in -20 enough to care or r willing to change full winter tires and summers for at best 20-30% better full winter grip “
and again you better have picked a top 20% winter tire cause either of these Hankooks will out do lots of the lesser full winter tires.“
i highly recommend either these with these slight differences one vs another. .
Atm2 if street is more your concern, more quiet and still excellent ice snow traction slight less material extraction.
If deep snow / mud is your bigger concern go with the Atms they have 20-30 % bigger lugs / better excavation of material and r 30-40 % quieter than most full Mud tires but with excellent ice grip for the winter
“ but you dont care about noise do you mud / snow guys . . . Noooo you dont!!!!
Yeeeeeee hawwwwww!!!!!
