A Full Year of Testing the Toyo Tires Open Country A/T III

[@sanddrifterjb]

Very cool review with great running footage. We spent some time at the proving ground really trying to improve this AT3 over the AT2. I was asked to evaluate and work closely with Toyo engineers pushing this tire extremely hard on pavement and in the rocks. Happy to hear people enjoy the hard work that was put into it on the R&D side.

I am a power line worker in the Mojave desert, Edison Rurals region . We are off road all day every day rocks sand hills in a RAM 2500 loaded with tools. we ran a set of the 295 70 18s at-3 . we never lost one to a flat, they provided excellent traction , great roadability , we got approximately 60k out of those tires. Fleet dept re shoed her with TOYO RTs. They are impressive as well but i don't think were going to get that mileage out of them. and yes mpg is down as well. I was always TOYO MTs the rest are shit. until now. So much so im running 37 12.50 17s on my personal Power wagon 2500 . Great tire !

[@sanddrifterjb]

@@Barefoot-Bob Glad to hear you liked the AT3. I know SoCal well. Grew up in Valencia. I tested the Toyo MT's and compared them to the AT3, RT, and RT Trail all in the same week at the Test Track. Although, the MT's are a pretty old and proven spec, they are good but not my favorite for many reasons. I do have to say that my new favorite all around tire would have to be the Toyo RT Trail. It is a hybrid from the AT3 and RT and IMO is the best of both worlds without being to aggressive like the MT. I like the looks and was impressed with the front / rear matching and having a very linear yaw rate makes it very predictable and controlled in limit conditions. Check them out!

[@Barefoot-Bob]

@@sanddrifterjb well im at the mercy of our fleet dept . so not sure if ill see those.

[@kevinbreese5739]

The biggest complaint I heard about the AT2 (And some say the same about the AT3) is the on-road wet traction. I'm hoping the AT3's have a new compound that at least makes the wet traction reasonable. Everything else about the tire seems fantastic. I especially appreciate the light weight too. It's the lightest 275/60/20 AT tire I could find for my 2018 F150 Supercrew FX4. (Only 42lbs for the 115T version). No idea how you keep the weight down so much, for a fairly aggressive AT tire.

[@jackchastainjr.922]

Just put a set of 275/65 R18 on my 2018 Tundra SR5 4x4, beautiful tire. Tundra’s braking, response so much better. Smooth ride. Highly recommended.

[@MS-ij1tq]

Excellent review, I appreciate how thoroughly you tested these. I have Wildpeak at3's currently. Although I'm pretty satisfied with them I can't stop thinking about these Toyo's. I will need new tires this calendar year so thanks again for this video.

[@leadnsteel1428]

I've had the bfg k02s on my truck and have been impressed. I've been through some deep snow like 2 ft, deep mud and sand and they have excellent traction. I've never even had a flat with them. one tire had a nail and I didn't even notice for a long time lol.

[@dorough727]

I’m currently running 35x12.5x20 ko2’s on my f150 . Looking to change it up to a true 35 in tire. The 325x60x20 is a 35.4 in tire diameter. Almost certain I’m going with the toyo at111 . They are much lighter tire then almost any other tire at this size. The wildpeaks are almost 29 lbs. heavier just a fyi . Loved the review and will be picking these up in the future.

[@Icutmetal]

Ok.

[@Phiidyn]

This is the kind of experience-based review I was looking for! Thank you so much!

[@davidanderson8469]

I've had great luck with all Toyo products. The guy's at Discount love them as they balance so easily. I've been running them since 2002 when I got burned on some BFG's. Constant highway vibes that couldn't be cured. M-55's,MT's and AT's. No flat's,nothing.

[@g.fortin3228]

That gash tire should be put on the rear if you are going to chance running it.. In case it goes at hiway speed you dont want it on the front when or if it does. Nice review.. want to see some snow it's winter :- )

[@kodyadams5561]

THIS IS THE BEST ALL TERRAIN TIRE ON THE MARKET FOR HANDLING ALL 4 SEASONS ESPECIALLY’’SNOW AND ICE’’ . HAVE HAD IT NOW 2.3 YEARS AND HAVE 31,836 MILES ON THEM . TREAD IS STILL 75-80 % THERE . TIRE SIZE IS 285/65 R16 ON 1999 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER LIMITED BEST SUV EVER MADE .

[@yandirn2478]

Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to get them for my 2016 4Runner Limited.

[@jimlelan4906]

Thanks for the feedback. I am considering these for my 24 Land Cruiser, over all others.

[@MC4D.]

The more reviews I see of the Open Country's the more I'm considering them. I was going to go for the Cooper AT3s because they're available in the bigger size I'm wanting (inch taller) but I'm really considering staying with my current tire size just because the Open Country's appear to be that good and the Coopers don't seem to compare with the Toyo's.

[@innertube205]

Just installed a set of Toyo A/T 3’s on my FJ Cruiser today!

[@Trd2020]

How you liking them?

[@innertube205]

@@Trd2020 Love them! Great in snow… some road noise but I have the music on so it’s no bother. I have 17,000 miles on them and they are wearing very slowly. I’ve not had them in the mud though. I get 19-20 average mpg so I’m happy. 😃

[@bigbywolf-bt4me]

I’m a bit of a Mopar and Jeep purist, but I must say I really like your truck. Always thought the Canyons were nice vehicles. You’ve got a great vehicle there and a stellar review.

[@andrewmcelvein6149]

Getting a set for my gx 460, lexus off road enthusiast love them .

[@jbandt]

I put this on my f150. All street so far and I like them as well. Look good and quiet. I also agree wet roads with an empty truck bed isnt the best. Nothing but spinning when accelerating from a stop.

[@cloudchaser9951]

did you took off smoothly?

[@dsradventure2233]

Good review brother!

[@Abeezy-Byob]

Great review !!! I run these on a grand Cherokee and I can’t complain at all

[@muchless]

I got these after your 2021 review. So far so good. Wearing fast for my truck. What size are you running?

[@randomrebuilds]

Great review - thanks. This basically makes up my mind to go with these tires for my 3rd gen Taco.

[@jake987753]

I’m putting them on my third gen today! Have you put yours on yet?

[@jackchastainjr.922]

Just installed on my 2018 Tundra… very happy with looks and ride. Ran the AT’s II on my 2011 Tundra and 2015 Tacoma. Best tire I’ve ever purchased.

[@wakeride74]

Good stuff thank you, looks like some trails I’m familiar with 👍🏼

[@theeasternfront6436]

Trying to decide between these and the Falken AT3s. The Flakens might do a tad better in the snow but these look better. Hmm…!

[@kodyadams5561]

YOU ARE 100% WRONG THE FALKENS ARE TERRIBLE IN SNOW AND ICE WEAR DOWN QUICKLY AS WELL, STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

[@rileyparrish184]

Awesome review, just ordered a set for a Land Rover LR2.

[@offroadyaris5257]

Solid review, and great video. Thanks so much for the video

[@Eyball1972]

Great review! So what would you say the overall hit to MPG would be over a standard all season? I know you said great MPG and done say the opposite. And the question I cant seam yo answer anywhere…. How bad are they at picking up gravel in the tread? Thanks!

[@ThuGfunk]

What load rating? I heard these only have the more aggressive sidewall in C and E load range, the XL and SL look like road tires.

[@stevom190]

Hi. You have P - metric sizes or LT - metric sizes? what was the tread depth when the tire was new?

[@zachpeat5076]

Haven’t had my Toyo open country tires for a month and are already breaking down on the side walls and little chunks coming off. Maybe I got some duds? But wouldn’t get them again.

[@jessielees]

great video, sorry if i missed it but what size were these?

[@MisterMister5893]

Wouldn't that gash be a concern for a high speed blowout? I'm new to the AT scene as I just bought a new Subaru Outback. These and the Wildpeak AT Trail are in the running.

[@sdvten]

Yes. That tire should be replaced.

[@RNicknackpaddywhack]

That’s actually a kind of a concerning cut into the tire. I doubt the K02s or the Baja boss AT would have that issue. Probably better on gas mileage though. They also look like they conform to the terrain really well, a benefit to the weaker sidewall.

[@craigfisher67]

I have a cut like that on my KO2s. Given a sharp rock at the right angle, any sidewall can be cut. I have over 20k with cut and no issues.

[@anonim1133]

2 years in - still using them? Are they still any good? Have they cracked? My Cooper Discoverer AT3 Sport2 have "only" 2 years and they are more cracked then original tires of my 10yr old car... I'm thinking about swapping, and Toyo seems to be a alternative.

[@alialrashidi1764]

I finished 2yrs with Toyo AT3 , they are great however they are starting to crack

[@kinanromman5197]

Great review - few questions - are these E or standard load? And, why do you think tire rack says these tires are loud? Their testers say so but real drivers seems to say they are fine. Any highway drone? Also how is wet weather stopping grip? Thanks !

[@tonyloo985]

I have these tires with stock size on my 2012 4Runner. They are fine at highway speeds. No annoying humming if that is what you are concerned about. You will hear them a little bit when you turn your stereo off, but it isn't obtrusive. My engine noises are louder.

[@alialrashidi1764]

None sense this is my 3rd year with Toyo AT3 , no sound at all

[@nastysoda9212]

What load are those tires? SL, C, E? Also thanks for the great video.
