^ Agree AT3s are decent tires in snow.
Pretty much any tire with good tread is twice as good when siped compared to not.

Studs help on ice, just like sipes except better but do nothing for deep snow. Just like snow and ice tires are not great in deep snow. Because they don’t have large tread voids.
Imagine this, there’s no “does everything the best “ tire just like there’s no does everything best RV......
My personal opinion, having been in more differnet or extreme winter conditions than most, is the best overall tire for ALL conditions where the driving surface is white, not black gray or brown, is siped, studded, mud tires.
They give up a bit in fuel mileage and more noise on black or brown surfaces, but excel in any combination of deep white stuff to glare ice.
