TOYO Open Country ATIII

Just picked up a set of these for my RAM. Slick looking tires and under $800 fully installed. Now that's a deal!!!

What size tires did you buy? Only asking because I'm considering putting AT's on my truck and most are more than $800...

mine are 265/70R-17

I am going in this morning for a set of falkens, 285/75/18 (33x11.50) 1145.00 out the door. local shop in paris.

had nitto, now have cooper in the same size and both were about 300.00 more. tread on all is very similar.

check wal mart online, they may or may not put them on but you can catch some good deals and have another shop install, did that with the nittos.

I haven’t priced the A/T’s but I know my Toyo M/T’s & C/T’s (commercial all terrain) were way, way, waayyyy more than that! $800 almost sounds cheap.

about right for the size he got

Are you going with the WildPeak AT3W's?

yes, 100 mi. on them already and I am likin them

I'll check back with you in a while and see how they are fairing!

They are on the list of possible replacements on my wife's F150 if she keeps it long enough.

i am liking the Mastercraft Courser AT. Reviews are good and they look like Cooper Maxx ATs. Problem is i can only find at Wal Mart. They are about $40 less per tire then the Goodyears i am looking at at Discount. I ran Cooper Maxx ATs on Tacoma and one of the most aggressive ATs out there. I would run an MT but just dont really need and they are all heavy.

I went with the same ToyonOpenCountry AT III’s as well. Very good tire. I had replaced the BFG Allterrain TA tires TWICE in 60k miles. They lasted 30k and they were history. And they were $900 at cost. This goround, the Toyos were the choice. Cost was around $720 (285/65-20), and I already have 85,000 miles on the truck(25k on the tires) and the Toyos STILL LOOK NEW. great tread wear and way less noise. Also better traction in water, which is about as bad as it gets in DFW. Haha.

I’ll post a pic of the tread wear after 25,000 miles in the morning. You will be impressed. Very durable tires.

I just bought set of Toyo Open Country II , 265/70R18 . $920.12 out the door.

I might have bad luck, but I think I’m done with Toyo. Last set (MT’s) I lost a belt at 40k miles. The tire shopped talked me into their C/T, a commercial grade all terrain, things were close to $300 each. Well, they looked good until I hit 25k miles, 2 of them broke belts and 2 weeks later, the other 2 lost belts. All 4 were replaced at 25k miles. The tire shop says that I’m “that guy” and I was the first person to have ever lost a belt on one of these, much less 4 belts.... I have a hard time believing that I am the only one to have gotten faulty tires though. Who knows, back to Michelin’s I guess.

got some miles on them now and they ride much better than the other 2 did, very quiet and great in rain. factory size set is probably around 7-800 I would guess.

Great to hear they are quiet!

$804.00 plus all the other fees at Discount tire for a set which is not bad.

getcha sum!

so far they have outdone both other brands, ride a lot smoother it seems.

Hell of a deal. I wanted the Toyo's but there were no deals on them at the time and I needed the extra money for other things. I went with the General Grabber ATX with a $100 rebate. It's a really, really good looking tire in person. Even the tire shop guys, who hadn't seen a set yet, were impressed by them after they arrived. They balanced easy too, and did good in the little bit of rain we've had since. I haven't been off road but I know they'll hang. Road noise is excellent. I'm really happy with them so far.

Side view

Those General's look good man!

I got 64k out of my Open country Toyo's, and have 36k on the current set. My next set of tire's will be a Toyo open country, course since I don't drive as much now it may be awhile.

Which series? A/T, M/T, C/T

IDK but my FIL was griping about Toyo's throwing tread last night. I won't be buying any.

What do you mean by “throwing tread”?

Tread separates from the tire causing a blowout. Think of a 18-wheeler retread tire.

Ah. Somehow I was picturing chunking or tread blocks.

I can say I’ve had mine (Toyo Open Country ATIII) for about a year and a half. I have put 30,000 miles on them and they still look new. To compare, the OEM BFGoorich All-Terrain TA KO3 tires last 30,000 EACH SET! These Toyo’s cost less and, so far, have lasted longer. No uneven wear, no noise, good traction.

I’d recommend them.

Not my experience. My last BFG TA KO2's went over 50k. I replaced after a bad puncture on one but still had quite a bit of tread left.

When buying tires i always do the same thing. I find the size and load range i want and start shopping. I look at walmart, discount tire, costco, sams, sears, and an online vendor or two. It doesnt take much time at all. Pick the cheapest name brand tire that meets my needs and is in an acceptable tread pattern. So far i have had goodyear, uniroyal, BFG, cooper, bridgestone, continental, firestone and probably a few i cant remember and never had a bad one. I have used a few off brand tires and that is why i now limit my search to name brand tires.

My most recent set are Cooper A/T LT265 70 R17 E-range. Stock size.

I paid $544 out the door including mounting and balancing and disposal of my old tires, that comes down to $136 a tire. I have over 20,000 miles on them and they have been as good as any other tire i have had.

Lets get real with ourselves here, if this is your daily driver chances are slim to none that the tread pattern will even make a difference and unless your a hard core off roader most would be better served by a set of michilins than AT's. Thats reality i know everyone will argue it though.

Also i got 70,000 miles of use out of the P-rated factory tires. They still had more tread to go, but i found these on sale and didnt want to pass the deal. I drive it to our south texas ranch, i haul feed and trailers with it, had over 3000 lbs in the bed of a 1/2 ton even on the P-rated tires and other than a flat here and there they held up fine. People make mountains out of mole hills with tires. A nail is a nail and will flatten just about any tire. Match the tire to what your using it for, dont drive over stupid stuff and have at it. I will say even with the 10-ply coopers, i have driven over some pretty stupid stuff and zero flats, but when/if i get one i will know its my fault.

I totally understand and agree about the “need” for all terrain tires. I drive my truck about 95% on highway. But, it IS a 4x4 Off Road addition with Fox remote reservoir shocks and heavier spring rates. It wouldn’t look too good with highway radials.

I had Toyo Open Country III at's, got 50k out of them with no problems at all, I replaced them while there was still a little meat on the bone. I went back with Cooper Discover AT3 XLT, heavier rated tire and so far have been pleasantly pleased.

Thats very bold of you to openly admit to driving a pavement queen/mall crawler etc.

Most people wont do that.

Yeh. I actually wasn’t looking for that particular model. But, I’m friends with Freeman’s internet manager and he hooked me up. I wanted a basic 4wd with the 5.7 motor. I also wanted nav and power stuff. He found me this one with a supercharged 5.7, TRD Pro package, and Black. I paid about the same as a regular SR5 4wd and they gave me way more on my Jeep as trade. The Jeep was off road used a lot. My family has a place in Pagosa that is surrounded by some of the best off road trails in the country. I thought I MIGHT use the truck off road occasionally, but I really only tow the boat with it.

Supercharged TRD Pro. A.K.A - Raptor Killer

I'm a big fan of the Toyo AT's. The last Tundra (Crew Max, TRD) I had, I bought new. I got ~60k out of the factory. Talked to the guy and told him I'm on a lot of lease roads across South Texas with a lot of highway miles in between. Don't need an aggressive tire, just need something that will hold up. He recommended the Toyo AT's (I believe they were the AT II) and said they come with a 75k guarantee. I laughed and told him we'll see. I rotate my tires each oil change. I finally replaced them at 145k. Approximately 85k miles on them. That's a combination of STX caliche lease roads and a lot of highway miles running between rigs. At 145k, I replaced them with the same exact tire. That truck had 210k on it when I traded it in. That last set of tires had less than 100 miles on gravel, all highway as I changed jobs right about the same time. So to summarize, I I put 2 sets of tire on a pickup in 150k miles. I miss that truck at times.

update for ya dozer, almost 7k on them now and they look new still, ride is excellent for an a/t. excellent on wet roads and they even got me out of some bad mud last week. these are keepers I think.

Is that a 285/75/18 or a 285/75/16? A 285/75/18 is almost a 35" tire.

it's an 18 on a 9" rim, they spec at 34.5 but when mounted and measured they are only 33".
programmed my tuner with 35 then 34 and finally went and measured them so I could get the speedo right.

The spec is actually 34.8 on an 8" rim. I'm surprised they measure out so small. What pressure are you running? I'm planning to mount this tire on my next truck.

I run 40 psi, I tow a lot of side by sides and other stuff along with a 20' bass boat.
