Atturo's Trail Blade AT2 Gets a Snowflake, 29 Sizes and a 55,000-Mile Warranty

The original Atturo Trail Blade A/T earned its place on a lot of budget builds by looking tougher than its price. Its replacement, the Trail Blade AT2, keeps that idea and fixes the things owners live with every day. Atturo announced it on October 29 ahead of SEMA, where it was set for booth 44113 and the New Product Showcase.

“With the Trail Blade AT2, we wanted to improve the things drivers experience every day,” said Atturo president Michael Mathis in the release. The list he gives is wet traction, snow performance, noise, tread life and appearance, without giving up the value the brand is known for.

The numbers

Atturo says wet grip improves by three full grades in standardized European performance testing. External rolling noise drops from 73 dB to 72 dB. Rolling resistance holds at the previous model's rating, which Atturo pitches as a fit for hybrid and electric trucks and SUVs. The AT2 also carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake mark for severe snow service, something many budget all-terrains skip.

The tread uses multiple biting edges for dirt, mud, gravel and sand, a variable-pitch pattern to cut noise, and wide channels to clear water and slush. Its 3D full-depth jagged sipes are designed to keep working down to 5/32 inch of tread. The sidewall styling gets a knife-blade look that ties back to the name.

Why it matters

Most people who buy an all-terrain never get near a trail, but they do drive in rain and, depending on the zip code, snow. A value all-terrain with a severe snow rating and a 55,000-mile tread-life warranty is a meaningful step for drivers on a budget, and Tire Review noted the 3PMSF mark as the headline. The 15- and 16-inch sizes keep older trucks and Jeeps in the mix, and LT construction is available for people who tow or haul.

Atturo says the tire begins arriving at dealers in January. It did not publish pricing.
