I would say that the AT3 would be significantly better in ice, snow, and rain, on the road than any dedicated mud tire as well as having much better driving characteristics all around.. My AT3's are very good in those conditions, my Hankook ATM's slightly better but they are both good. If you want something decent on the road in ice, snow, and rain, but still able to handle some mud look at the ST Maxx or Duratrac.
