Might be a dumb question but isn’t snow/ice tires better then All terrain or does the A/T speak for itself

Depends on application
Snow tires are made for snow AT tires are decent in all conditions mud snow sand and on the highway
The snow and ice tires have soft rubber which helps grip the ice and snow.

@Gregory ?
Just get ya some studded tires..
So a snow tire would be pointless to try to offroad with
if you live where it snows a good amount and stays below freezing for long periods of time you want snow tires of course if u drive on a lot of ice or have icy driveways/hills u want studded snow tires.
Normally hills in areas where it snows a good amount are where you really need studs
otherwise, all seasons are fine
my experience has been that Snow/ice tires are awesome when the temperature is below 40f. In those conditions, on road through all sorts of snowy/icy weather, they can’t be beat. Would not off-road in these in any way shape or form because the rubber is a bit on the soft side and can get chewed up easily.
A/T tires work great when there is loose snow for the treads to grip. On packed snow/ice the A/T tire is about as effective as an all/season tire though some newer a/t tires carry a mountain-snowflake symbol designating extreme winter something or other.
I prefer to run A/T tires over all season tires on my jeep. The only real advantages all season tires have over A/T tires is better gas mileage and a quieter ride due to tread design and/or weight.
It depends on the AT tire as well. There’s a lot of different ones within the class
It depends on weather you plan on driving on snow and ice, or driving off road. Snow/Ice tires are generally soft rubber to grip the ice. Soft rubber isn’t really suitable off road since soft isn’t very durable.
