A few years ago when BFG came out with the new design, the tires only lasted 11k on my truck. No warranty and BFG wouldn’t do anything for me. They’ve since fixed the issue and are great tires, but I made the switch to Toyo on all of my vehicles and love them. I won’t be going back.

Great review. Just installed some 315 75 16 Toyo AT3 tires for my 1993 FZJ80 Toyota Land Cruiser. Couldn’t be more satisfied. I’ve noticed, right from the beginning, is they are so much more quieter than the KANATI Trail Hogs that were replaced.

I had 3 sets of Toyo AT2's get treadwear warrantied. At only 29,000-32,000 miles they were at wear bars. Alignments were dead on, rotated every 3,000, just wore horrible. And they sucked in snow terribly. The AT3's don't have a high bar to beat...

I put 4 Toyo’s on my ‘12 FJB Edition FJCruiser 2 months ago. I do mostly highway commuting as it’s my DD. I have about 2k miles on them. Been through some heavy rain with absolutely no loss of traction. I have yet to go off road but in due time I most certainly will. I love the tires! The only thing I could recommend for aesthetic purposes only would be raised white letters to add to the cool factor.

I'll give you my experience with the Toyo ATIII tire. I put a pair on my GMC in Dec. 20 when first released. They are fantastic in the snow. Last year, I used 4x4 less than previous years reverting to rear wheel drive only in some serious snow conditions up here in the mountains of ID. I find these tires to be fantastic. Cannot speak for noise, cause I did not have a true AT tire before the Toyos were installed. But nothing of a problem. They are great in dry, wet and any trail I have traveled. Wear appears to be very good. Ii will have no hesitation to replace my tires on my new vehicle with the ATIII when my new vehicle is finally delivered.

So even though a light weight truck , was able to run' it more, during the winter season ! And this fall season decided to swap out the 3yr old Observes'(at 7/32nd) on the '96 Sierra for a set of OCAT3-OWLs, also coincidentaly from the same OK' who won' last yrs. acquisition/installation.

I ordered a new set of ATIIIs and some JEG 16x8 Baja rims. Going to “vanlife” my GMC Savanna work van a little because why replace a great van which has been nothing but reliable minus the abuse of having a former CHP officer driving it. :).

I'm debating at3 for it's three peak rating, but had such good experiences with the rt, that I've already bought a second set for my other diesel f250. Now I want to try the at3, but should probably stick with what I know works good on these trucks. Both on 35 12.50's, and feel, handle, wear awesome all over. Worlds better than Micky, BFG and other no name china bombs I've run before.

I was looking for some 3PMSF rated tires for my 2020 Dodge Durango GT AWD. They are a little big for the size. So I went from a 265/50-20 T rated, to a 255/55-20 H rated tire. The traction in rain, snow and ice is very good. At 56,000 miles, more than half the tread is left. On smooth roads they are noisier than the stock Bridgestones. But on alligator and other rough pavements. The Toyos are a significant improvement over the Bridgestones. In most all conditions. When the Toyos do wear out. I will replace them with General HTS60 tires. I have AutoSock traction devices for the States that are picky about the 3PMSF rating.

I just did the same swap... 275 60R20 BFG to 35 x 12.5 x 20 Toyo AT III on my Ram 1500. They are a chunky tire compared to the smaller K02 I was running, but look great and ride fantastic. I liked the K02 a lot as well, until they started to wear. At about 50% the compound seemed to get pretty iffy in the rain. Just not as good as they were, which was very good. They are not overly loud on the highway either (Toyo AT III), and ride firm and solid. The new lift helped and the Bilstein shocks and struts helped. So far, very impressed.

Havent had the toyo at3 but Ive had the RTs on my Raptor for 5 years now. Im very impressed with the RT quality or toughness. When I had them installed the balance machine was broken so them put them on without balancing and the run smooth, which was shocking to me. I live in the desert and put the Raptor through its paces off road, drive over many different desert terrains at high speeds and Ive never had any tire issues, very tough tires. There are chunks of thread missing from hitting sharp rocks at high speeds but have never experienced a flat or a blow out. Im a Toyo fan for life

The OEM KO2 from the factory on my Rubicon were complete junk. One tire failed in less than 29,000 miles and had internal ply separation causing thumping at city traffic speeds after 100% street & highway driving. Had a suspension lift done and installed Toyo Open Country MT 37x12-1/2. A world of difference in noise on pavement - the Open Country MTs are very quiet (much quieter than KO2) considering how aggressive the tread pattern is. Highly recommend it!!!

My Denali is heavy from stereo weight being at about 950 pounds and 20x10 275/55 tires. The did phenomenal but wasn’t aggressive enough for me. Went with the new Mickey Thompson Baja boss At. They are definitely heavy and having balance issues. Ima try again when I get new wheels. Also disappointed to see the syping gets significantly smaller as they wear.

Funny I just bought 4 toyo AT3s brand new for $1200, that’s installation, balancing, and alignment. The KO2s were almost $1500 for the same thing

i have worn out my KO2's after 3 years of driving more on than off road in my 2011 Tundra crewmax. I absolutely love these tires. The problem now is Micheline (who makes the KO2's) doesnt have a date when they are going to manu more and winter is coming soon to Northern ontario. I loved your video and really liked how you compared the KO2's to the open country as having similar treads and handling. Its time for me to change. How did you find the TOYO's as far as tread life, off road traction and wet asphalt?

nice looking tire, I would assume they perform a tad better in rain and ice than my k02's, the only reason I went with the bfg's was pricing as well as many other comments here. I would try the new open country rt trail next. Also had falken at3w's a couple years ago those were good too but i'm not crazy on the looks of the tire

Not really sure about lighter but the at has to be a bit heavier depending which pkybyou buy. The at is also meant to handle offroad and we've definitely put them to the test. The ht really aren't meant for that and are mainly a road and highway tire.

I'm doing the same thing. My KO's were ok IMO, I had went from GY Duratrac's to KO's 3+ years ago. But for the price, I knew they were nothing special. Ordered my AT3's today. Getting them installed in a couple of days. Going on a 09 Liberty (lifted 3inch). Also switching from a 265 to 245/70 because the 265/70's are just a tad to wide and they rub the rear fender flair and I refuse to trim/cut them up. Looks like the AT3's are just as good as the KO's.

BFG KO2 AND K3 ALL ARE TERRIBLE ON WET PAVEMENT OR CONCRETE HIGHWAYS. TOYO TIRES ARE MADE FROM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RUBBER COMPOUND THAN BFG. THAT IS WHY TOYOS ARE MORE THAN ALMOST ALL OTHER TIRES. YOU WANT TOP QUALITY TIRE RESEARCH , DEPENDABILITY, AND LONGEVITY, THAT IS TOYO . BUT THAT COMES WITH A PRICE. BUT JUST REMEMBER TIRES AND BRAKES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT 2 COMPONENTS ON ANY VEHICLE, NEVER GO CHEAP ON EITHER ❤ !

Toyo open country all Terrain....these tires last a long time...they are hard to balance on after market fuel rims...and they absolutely fail miserabley on wet roads!! But off road on dry land they got strong grip....but in mud...they have no traction! Good braking distance...but anything wet on these tires have zero traction... bought mine brand new and drove 60k miles.... would buy again but if you plan on doing anything with mud or live in a state that rains alot...hell no!

I'm super happy with my KO2s but i would've gotten Toyos if they were any cheaper..they were the same price and i wanted the E rating for going over super rocky terrain in the california desert. Makes more sense for the kind of offroading i wanna do. But i think Toyos might be the superior all around tire.. But those damn KO2s just look so aggressive and fit that 90s baja look. I just love them. So far the ride has exceeded my expectations despite the complaints i've heard about them.
