New Toyo Open Country A/T III tire

I went down the list of my local Toyo dealers to find 255/80's. I eventually succeeded, but Discount and Les Schwab couldn't get them. Last resort would be authorized online retailers if you have a local shop that will install tires not purchased from them.

 

Getting my second set of Toyo tomorrow! 255 80 17 at3! Can not wait

 

Not sure if it's been posted already but I checked their site the other day and saw they added a 35x11.50 in Load C.

 

Just dropped my truck off!

 

Got em! Toyo AT3 255 80 R17

 

Also these are the LT Load Range E and I honestly feel like they rode extremely smooth... perfect imo

 

What’s your suspension setup? Stock? Front tires look like they really fill the well.

Really want to pull the trigger on the 255/80 but don’t want to be rubbing/cutting.

 

Another new member of the OC AT3 club here. I've had them for 4 days so far. This is the first tall and skinny tire for me and I'm really liking them. I had to remove front mud flaps and trim a small triangle from the rear inner portion of the front flairs even with my current lift. Unfortunately during the alignment they found a frozen cam bolt, so they were only able to get the caster to 3.2 (next project, yay). Last set of tires were KO2's in 265/70R17 load C. Had a bit over 50k on them and they were wearing well, but getting loud. While quieter than my worn KO2's, these AT3's definitely produce a whine and it will be interesting to see how that changes as they wear. Ride quality is improved, likely secondary to increased sidewall height and larger diameter. Of note, these Toyo's are quite skinny: While the sidewall width is the stated 10", the actual tread width is only 7.5". I forgot to write down the KO2 tread width, but if I remember correctly is was like 8.5-8.75". Mounted on a 17"x8" rim these AT3's measured 32 15/16", that's not mounted on the truck.
I'll attach a couple pics for those interested in the sidewall vs. a KO2. I don't have a great pic of them on the truck yet, but took this quick one yesterday.

 

The fill it just right 255/80 was perfect for my taste. I’m back to looking back at my truck every time I get out of it again like I did when I first bought it. Crazy how a new set of tires will do that. I’m running the Bilstein 5100 w OME 888 in front and ome AAL in the rear. 2.6” up front of lift and 2.1” in rear

 

Front and rear pics and clearance I have

 

Man I wish these were sold in Canada

For those looking to make a purchase, tirebuyer.com has $100 off a set of 4 until 7/6. It looks like their prices are competitive with Simpletire and DiscountTire.

Size: 265/70R17 on stock TRD sport rims

 

Are there any side by side pics of the difference between the two loads??

 

Why aren't they? Any idea on when they will be available?

 

Thanks for the heads up! Just placed my order!

 

I ordered 5 255/80/R17 from Simpletire. Mainly because I can have the shop I already use for alignments do the install. Tirebuyer would have saved me about $100, but My preferred installer wasn’t an option. Expecting an email tomorrow telling me they are on backorder vs. the 7/17 install date selected at checkout.
