    Way to steal OPs thunder there "slick".

    Happy for you OP, I just got new wheels and tires today! Feels good. I almost got at3s but the dynapros were buy three get one with free alignment etc so. . . I'll have to try them next time.

    Let us know how they handle as time goes. I am most interested in snow handling personally. . .

    Good job on finding a nice set of tires that you like. Hopefully they wear slow and keep you moving. :thumbsup:

    Yeah I know that its an early review but i have had the ATR's which are the previous tire before the AT3 and the AT3 already out performs the ATR's significantly and I loved the ATR's on my granddads Taho.

    Oh man it would be a miracle to get snow where I am. I get about a cm of snow every 15 years.

    I did the same thing, I went from the ATR to the AT3 and actually preferred the ATR. The only reason I got rid of the ATR was because they started splitting on the sidewall and Cooper actually warrantied them. The AT3 is nice but seemed to get louder as they aged (still not bad for an A/T tire at all, but you'll notice a difference when you cross 10k miles with them) and I have a hard time fighting a cupping issue with them (ATR's or my highway tires don't cup). I haven't had them in any real snow yet because last winter was non-existant but I expect them to handle well in the snow. Traction-wise, I've got no complaints with the AT3 and they look great also.

    There are DOT-rated slicks available from Hoosier and Yokohama, though of course you should run them only on dry pavement. :)

    I have used the ATR and ST and the SIL put the AT3 on her 4 runner and likes them...plus, Consumer Reports gave them the top rating for AT type tires...

    Blake, I could instantly tell you were 16 or 17 by the way you post haha. Not hating - it's just funny how easy it is to tell over the internet with no pictures or further information, based only on how somebody speaks. If you can get new tires for free - I'd do that sooner than later.

    OP good to hear about the tires. I'd like to know more about their wear farther down the road.
