What Brand Makes The Best All Terrain Tires For Snow?

Unless you consult with an experienced tire expert, you won’t have much luck finding the “best all terrain tires for snow,” because no such tire exists.

That’s not to say there are no good all-terrain tires for snow—there are plenty of Severe Snow Certified options available from top-rated brands like Goodyear, Bridgestone, Toyo, and BFGoodrich—but every tire is designed with different driving needs and budgets in mind, some of which may not suit you, even if the tire gets top marks in off-road snow performance.

In other words, there is no universal “best” all terrain tire for snow—but there is a best-for-you, and your local TIRECRAFT can help you find it.

Rankings Review: Best All-Terrain Tires For Snow In 2023

While personalized tire recommendations are always your best bet, independent tire rankings provide an excellent jumping-off point.

After synthesizing results from independent tire tests by Consumer Reports, Driving Press, and the Automobile Protection Association, these were the best-rated all-terrain tires for snow in 2023:

1. The Toyo Open Country AT III earned top marks for its snow-conscious design, featuring general lateral grooves to increase hydroplaning resistance, 3D multi-wave sipes for wet snow traction and stability, and specialized winter tread compounds that blend cut-and-chip resistance with cold-weather pliability.

The Toyo Open Country earned a perfect 5-star rating for winter handling and tread life, but its average ride comfort and fuel efficiency could be a sticking point for some drivers (Toyo Tires, 2023).

2. The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 earned one of the highest ratings overall, with reviewers awarding high marks for its enhanced tread design, large tire clearance ratio, and next-generation silica compounds that increase handling on wet and snowy surfaces.

3. The Copper Discovered AT3 4S posted high scores on winter track tests due to its silica-based tread compound, zigzag sipes, AquaVac channels, and Cooper’s patented “sawtooth technology,” which traps snow in the tread for superior snow-on-snow traction.

Each of these tires meets the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada’s (TRAC) requirements for the Severe Snow Certification, as evidenced by the Alpine symbol on the sidewall, but they each come with unique features, on and off-road capabilities, and price points. To determine which of these three picks is the best fit for your truck, or explore more options with the Severe Snow Certification, get in touch with your local TIRECRAFT.
