Thanks for doing this; just had a set of 34’s put on my Suburban (also for overlanding) and your videos definitely helped in making my decision. Looking forward to future updates!

[@NorthwestBronco]

Congrats on your new tires! I'm sure you will enjoy every mile. Thank you for the comment and I'm glad the video helped you out!😃

[@richardmoore2003]

Thank you for reviewing the RT Trails in these videos. I drive a 21 JLU Rubicon Diesel and looking to upgrade from my stock KO2s. I’ve had my eye on these and just watching the very few reviews on them so far.

[@NorthwestBronco]

There's not much out there in the form of reviews. But, I can say with confidence....they have been great!

[@richardmoore2003]

@@NorthwestBronco that’s very cool to hear.

[@OverlandPNW]

Toyo definitely has a good reputation and the Open Country R/T Trail is a nice add in the Open Country lineup. I like the thicker rubber layer on the sidewall of the R/T Trail for increased puncture resistance.

[@NorthwestBronco]

Agreed. Thank you for the comment!

[@johnraygun9868]

i have these on my Ram Power Wagon (8,000lbs) super happy with them but have our first snow coming now and fingers crossed they are as good at that as everything else! 37x12.50 R18 65PSI normal

[@NorthwestBronco]

Can you post an update here? The snow in Oregon is still a month out. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

[@johnraygun9868]

@@NorthwestBronco will do, I am in Oregon too but over by Mt McLoughlin, brother is coming up on the 27th which is when we will get into the good stuff

[@NorthwestBronco]

Can't wait to hear your thoughts! Let me now if you ever want to meet up in Central Oregon!@@johnraygun9868

[@johnraygun9868]

right on brother, I retired from the Army after 21 years as a combat medic, I work at White City VA now and try to get out to play whenever I can, I have a couple friends from my high school years that live up your way now who have invited me up, we will have to arrange something! @@NorthwestBronco

[@johnraygun9868]

@@NorthwestBronco just a heads up, went up near Diamond Lake with those tires on, my brother was in a 2023 Frontier with the Toyo triple peak tires and my sister in her Wrangler Rubicon with 37 nittos , I noticed I had to have a little tire speed in the deeper stuff we found but I still ended up being the one breaking trail for them because they were getting stuck and I never did so I would say for an RT that’s not snow rated our tires do pretty damn decent brother! My Power Wagon weighs 8,000lbs as well.

[@ronhugginskw]

Thinking about purchasing the Toyo RT for my Jeep Sahara. I will follow your videos regarding the advancement of the RT. Thanks

[@NorthwestBronco]

Thank you for the comment. So far so good.

[@justin_froehlich]

About to pull the trigger on the LT315/70R17 exactly like you are running for my Black Diamond. I couldn't find a note if a spacer is required to clear these tires on the BD steelies? I'll be swapping the suspension to the Eiback Stage 2.0. Thanks for the content.

[@NorthwestBronco]

I've read forum posts that mention that. I believe most folks with BD's are doing a 2" lift. The Eibach 2.0 is a great choice for this application! Thank you for the comment!

[@offgridrecon]

I’ve heard great things about those tires. Excellent size choice for your rig. 👍🏻

[@NorthwestBronco]

Thank you sir!

[@EthanMorris-b3f]

Great insights, thanks for sharing. You mentioned doing a video on ice and snow but it does not appear in this series. Can you share the sessions name so I can watch? Thanks!

[@NorthwestBronco]

I do mention it on another video. I can say they did just fine in the ice and snow. Not any better or worse than the average tire. I did notice they aren't as good on wet roads that a A/T. But that's to be expected with a hybrid tire. I'll do a more detailed review during this winter after some more experience. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIi8kJ6rnL2piJo

[@etnies88]

Did you notice when you first got them or currently did they have a low speed vibration? up to so 35mph or so. Maybe just a chunky design like a mud tire? I have two other sets of Ridge grapplers and Wildpeak at3w's and are smooth low speed.

[@NorthwestBronco]

No vibrations when new or now. Slight hum in the cab at first, then it either went away or I got used to it.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Green review, you answered some questions that I had on these tires. I'm about to lift my 5th gen 4Runner and these are very high on my short list of new tires. My one concern is that the size that I want (255/80/17) is only available as an E rated, but the fact that the D's ride nicer than the C's that you previously ran is encouraging. One question I had, and apologies if you mentioned this in your other video, how did these affect your MPG? We don't buy 4x4s for that of course, but anything that negatively impacts range is always a concern. I'll also add that I have a good three to four hour road trip to get to the trails, and the 4Runner is my daily driver that does about 350 mi of asphalt per week. I'm thinking this looks like a rugged durable tire that will be fairly easy to live with as a DD.

[@NorthwestBronco]

Gas mileage did not noticeably change. I just got done shooting an updated video on those tires!

[@trailrunnah8886]

@@NorthwestBronco good to know, thanks!

[@marbledmeatshop]

I asked in another video, but I see here you don’t air down very low. I’m often dropping down to 16-17 psi and am concerned about running a tire rated for 8-10.5” wide wheels on the 7.5” steelies.

[@NorthwestBronco]

If you are airing down that low or doing rock crawling, I'd recommend a proper wheel width for the tire 😀

[@marbledmeatshop]

@@NorthwestBronco - well, I sure do hope they come out with a true 35x11.5 in C or D rating by the time I need tires. My OC AT3 have around 20k on them right now.

[@NorthwestBronco]

@@marbledmeatshop Agreed. 35x11.5 in D would be awesome!

[@SeanStewart88]

Been looking at new tires lately. My falken wild peaks failed me after 2 years of normal use. Won’t be going back to them.

[@NorthwestBronco]

These have been great, but snow and ice season is on the way and I'll do another update there after!

[@ronhugginskw]

Why would say in your video you didn't notice the road noise as much after acquiring some amount of mileage on the tire? Could it be due to more wear on the tire or Bronco's interior insulation? I have a Jeep Sahara! Jeeps are not as insulated. Although, I love my Jeep, and with no complaints.... it's a tank. I like the Toyo RT tire. However, when I travel on the freeway in transit I don't want to hear that annoying humming. Can you elaborate more specifically on the decimal factor? Respectfully

[@NorthwestBronco]

I'm not sophisticated enough to tell you a decimal factor, but I can say I notice no hum on the road ways. Either I got used to it, or the tires wore a bit. But it was not noticeable after a few days. I have no complaints. Wonderful tire. Here's the latest updated on the tires: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKrFiZ1vh9p9ras

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

I want to get those tires for my bronco raptor but I want them and 37“ x 12 5017 the problem is they only come and load range E but the maximum psi is 65 psi I don’t know if that tire will work well or not wondering if the load range is too heavy for a bronco raptor I wish they made it in a D range would be the perfect tire any thoughts?👍👍👍

[@NorthwestBronco]

Agreed! The D rated tire is perfect with that thicker sidewall. I know Toyo is coming out with much more versions in the future!

[@kevinstarski1598]

This or Cooper R/T?

[@NorthwestBronco]

I don’t know a lot about the Coopers, but I think both are a good choice!
