New Toyo Open Country A/T III tire

I'm thinking about getting a set for my new wheels, currently have the stock firestones destinations which are fine. I daily drive my truck and its mainly on pavement 90% and rarely off-road.
Questions. Would you recommend these for daily driving. are these loud while cruising on the freeway? how's the MPG ? is it worth going A/T if i never off-road compared to normal street tires.

 

you can read through here and you will see a lot of info on them and what people think about em

 

Based on your questions I'd suggest Michelin Defender LTX M/S. The Toyo's look good/rugged but if you mainly city/highway drive I don't see the value. I liked those OEM Firestones on the highway and in the city. Good gas mileage, especially on the highway. We didn't have much confidence in them off road tho. And I mean light off roading. I think the Michelin's strike a balance between the A/T and all seasons. Just my 0.2 YMMV.

 

Finally got some initial snow experience with these AT3's to compare with the stock GY Wranglers. Side roads are covered in compacted snow now and areas leading into main routes are slush/snow. Highways are pretty dry. Fairly sunny around -5C.
Not going to lie, the back tires lose traction pretty easy on just about any amount of snow and I slide around and fish tail easily. I'd say they're a bit better than stock but not by much for winter.

 

Just took of my LT AT3 and put on my dedicated winters , the AT3 seemed ok in the few snow falls we had but -20C they were hard and loss most grip like most all seasons.

 

4X4 is your friend

 

They will be slightly louder than all-seasons, but not bad. I have these in load range C and they're way quieter than my mud tires.

The only real advantage to an AT over an all season, aside from off-road use, is potentially better snow traction. The AT3, among some other AT's, has a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating, which means they will perform well in snow. They will not be as good as a true winter tire, though.

If you really just want to run all-terrains, but don't plan on doing a lot of off-roading, make sure to get the SL version as opposed to the LT. The SL will be lighter, and in some cases use a softer rubber with more siping, which will provide better comfort and traction.

Otherwise, the Michelins mentioned by @Canadian Caber will be a fantastic choice.

 

I just put these tires on my truck a little over a week ago. First impression they are a great looking tire not as aggressive as what i took off but the pros out weigh the cons. So far a lot quieter than my Cooper ST Maxx, you can still hear tire noise but you can still talk inside the truck. My Coopers wore like crap and were noisy as all heck. Great on and off road, i run on a lot of gravel roads, loose rock and bigger rock and it handles it well (i work at many rock quarries). The do great on wet and muddy roads and trails haven't had it in any really sloppy stuff yet but this isn't a mud tire so i'm happy with the way they work. I've only seen about and 1-2" of snow and some icy quarry roads, tires handled well. Overall i'm impressed so far, will see how they wear....

 

What kind of sidewall construction on these guys?

 

Any updates on the PSI being run on these tires?

 

ive got the 265/75/16s in sl and I run 32 psi. feels just about right.

 

I have 265/70/16 in SL and the shop had them aired up to 40 PSI. I'm thinking that's too high.

 

lol yeah thats a bit high. Toyo recommends I run my size at 26 psi and I believe the max psi stamped on the tire is 44 psi to give you an idea of where they should be ran at.

 

hi man! How are you doing with those tires? I am really inclined to those tires.. to be honest I am 100% mall crawler. I have zero mods on my off road… I will be modding it as pieces wear out.. first item to wear out from what it looks is tires..

I’ve read mixed reviews on these rts.

how many miles you have on them? How good or bad are they wearing out? Wet traction?

thabks!!! Merry Christmas!

 

I’ve got two summers on them now, probably close to 15k km. They’ve been excellent. Can’t tell any wear, travel down the highway great. Have been fine in wet weather as well- no different than the K02 I had.

They are heavy though- e load around 56lbs, so probably not worth it if you care about mpg too much.

Nothing else looks as good imo. Might do RidgeGrapplers next as they are the same construction with different tread.

 

17x8.5” wheels ?

 

71 pages of people posting about them just isn't enough.

 

nah we gotta have 75 pages thats the right amount

 

I just pulled my At3's off and put St Maxx's on. The coopers are quieter, less vibrations and are doing better in the snow. I did have the center lugs siped, so that may play a role in the snow traction.
