A couple of interesting US comparisons between the Cooper AT3 and the Grabber AT2. Couldn't find a similar test with the Grabber AT3. Perhaps the US doesn't have those yet. But the G AT3 is supposed to be an improvement on the AT2 so I guess we can assume the Grabber scores would be higher again for the 3
There's nothing in it for general off-road performance and dry grip but the Grabbers clearly win on snow while the Coopers have better wet grip and road manners but return less mileage.
I notice on the first link that the Grabbers weigh substantially less than the Coopers which has got to improve fuel economy. The Coopers are cheaper but the Grabbers last longer, so added to the assumed better fuel economy that probably cancels out the slightly higher purchase price.
All in all, and on the assumption that the Grabber AT3s will be an all round improvement on the 2s, I'm leaning towards Grabber AT3s.
