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.

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.

Why so heavy?
@bigalforsyth Жыл бұрын
How did they balance? Since you installed them yourself you'd know better than anyone. I'm looking for the toughest looking AT that still rides smooth on the interstate, and this AT3 seems like it could be it. Thanks

We sell tons of At3s at my shop. They balance out with no issues and drive great on the highway and do very well offroad.

Nice review! How does it perform so far on our wet BC climate? Currently with BFG KO2 and they sucks on wet road.
@kodyadams55612 жыл бұрын
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 ❤ !

Is the minimal difference between a 285/70r17 and a 295/70r17 worth the extra price and weight?

I'd stick with the 285s.

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.
@Icutmetal Жыл бұрын
I feel the exact same way; there are a lot of great options and alternatives but I’ve had great luck with my KO2’s as well and damn I just love the way they look!

Id say that against the norm. These tires excel in wet weather traction.

Malcolm you may want to double check to make sure you didn't get the Toyo AT II which were notorious for being slippery in wet weather. That's why they made extra effort with the ATIII.

It did with the Tacoma wheels. Not with the new wheels we installed in this video.
