You might get better mileage aired down off road as the tire will roll over rough terrain rather than hitting them and slowing the tire down and forcing it up. If you feel the tire hitting terrain that’s the car reacting to the terrain and that transfer of energy could reduce fuel economy off road, not to mention your own throttle inputs on and off for smaller rocks you might just maintain speed and roll over if you’re aired down. No science just opinion but I always air down if for no other reason to reduce wear on all components. Thanks for the informative videos.

Those look so good on the black steel wheels! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@NorthwestBronco]

Thank you sir!

[@swlabronco]

Just put a set on my f150. So far they are doing great. I have about 300 miles of dirt and gravel road driving and about 1500 miles total.

[@NorthwestBronco]

That's great news! I'm looking forward to the snow and ice for another update!

[@marbledmeatshop]

I was gonna ask about wet pavement. I’ve been having some slippage with the AT3 + Ford Tune + Sprint Booster on Sport 8. I need to remember to turn the SB off when it rains.

[@NorthwestBronco]

I can safely say the Trails do have come slippage on wet roads. But, not any worse than any other hybrid tire. Looking forward to the snow and ice season for a more detailed review!

Love this series!

Thank you!

Ok so i have a ? I have a 2019 F250 supercrew FX4 with 2.5 in front lift with 1 inch bigger rear block. I put on the toyo open country R/T on 18in Icon rebound HD rims, tire size are 37x12.50. I absolutely love these tires im wondering if i should stick with the R/T or go with the R/T Trail in the same size when i do need to replace them. Ive had the R/T tires for a couple years now and they still look great and handle great. Just wanted to know if the new R/T Trail can handle the weight of my big truck, and would i get the same mileage out of them. I drive alot in all different types of terrain and i actually believe im right at or a little over what toyo says the mileage is rated for and they still look like they only have about 20k on them. There really good. Just curious if these have the same rubber compound? Thank you in advance.

[@NorthwestBronco]

Looks like 3970 is the max load for the R/T Trail tire in 37". That's an E rated tire. The tires in the video a D rated tire in 315". Here's a link to check out more specs on the R/T Trails. I'd love to provide more thoughts for you, but I'm not a tire expert. Just a customer. Looks to me like you would be fine! www.toyotires.com/rttrail

If fuel is your only reason for not airing down below 25 PSI, you should get a gas can and air down lower. You will get a better ride, better traction and increased puncture resistance.

[@NorthwestBronco]

Very true indeed. I run about 28-32 in the desert. Only because I only carry one jerry can of extra fuel (which still isn't enough) and have a single air compressor on board. I'd have to go lower for anything worse than a bad road. Maybe in the future a dual compressor is needed. Hmmm Thank you for the comment!

[@brannonmartin9198]

By any chance have you got to try these on snow/ice yet? Im looking at these for my Tacoma but definitely drive on snow/ice during winter both on and off road

[@NorthwestBronco]

I have a update video coming soon on that topic. But, they did well for me in the snow. No better or worse than other tires. Not bad for a hybrid. On ice, the traction is limited. But what can you do with ice :) I think you would be fine with these tires!

[@bradm5466]

I put these on my 21 bronco. They are very slick and dangerous on wet blacktop roads. I’m getting new tires after 9K miles. Not worth the risk of driving on tires that can’t grip wet roads

[@NorthwestBronco]

Hmm, what pressure did you run them at?

[@jasonjenkins5857]

@bradm5466 Yeah I'm curious what psi?

[@Thirteen7447]

You should check out the Open Country AT3

[@NorthwestBronco]

I'll have a look! Thank you for the comment!

[@angryraylangivens1281]

Why? The RT trail is better in every way

[@Thirteen7447]

@@angryraylangivens1281 Have you tried the AT3?

[@travisgoodrich1151]

What size tires are they? They look fantastic. Also, what size is the rim/wheel? Thanks

[@NorthwestBronco]

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. They are 315x70R17 (Exact dimensions as the factory Sasquatch tire that comes on the Bronco) The rims are from a Black Diamond Bronco 17". Hope this helps!

[@travisgoodrich1151]

How wide are the rims? I think i heard you say in an earlier video they are a little smaller. Happy Thanks Giving!!

[@NorthwestBronco]

@@travisgoodrich1151 17″ diameter, 7.5″ width Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@bradm5466]

40psi tried 35psi also. I had al kinds of trucks and tires over the last 35 years. I’ve never had a tire that was such a let down

[@NorthwestBronco]

Interesting. I run them at 38psi. I did notice the same thing at first. Either I got used to it or they improved with time. Weird!

[@timothygonzalez6679]

I installed these on my 2020 Ram Power Wagon and got an alignment same day and I’m getting some pretty profound “wah wah wah wah wah wah” type road noise, has anyone else experienced this with these? My alignment is all within spec but the road noise is WAY louder than my original Toyo R/T’s. Some please help!

[@NorthwestBronco]

I noticed some original noise, but it went away after about a week. Hopefully that's the case with you. Keep us posted here!

Align your truck to thuren specs not factory specs
