I've run both these in the past with satisfaction. Have the ATP II on my wife's truck right now and will be looking at replacement in the next year. Very happy with them, to be honest.... especially at the price. A little loud but easily tolerable.

Is the AT3 of ATP2 objectively better? Both have good to great winter and wet performance. But I ran them years apart on different trucks so its hard to compare based on memory. Objective would be winter and wet traction, mileage (both MPG and longevity) followed by cost and noise/comfort. Interestingly the AT3 seems cheaper than the ATP2 these days (interesting since the ATP2 is the Discount Tire exclusive they like to push).
 
The AT3 is suppose to be more “off road” than the APT2. I think you would be happy w the AT3, make sure you get the 3peak version to check your winter performance box

The ATP2 has been excellent in the snow, I suspect they just didn't pay for the additional form cert that it meets 3PMS. Looks like the AT3 LT is 3PMS cert'd, though.
