Brand new open country II's

Just got a set of toyo open country 2's put on, they are replacing my ms2's I had for 4 years and about 70,000 miles. I've only put about 50 miles on them so far but initial impressions and comparison against my ms2's are good. They look a lot better and under 70 mph they don't feel or sound any different. Over that speed though there is some road noise, the ms2's were silent at any speed and these have a slight hum or buzz. Maybe it'll be good and it will slow me down some. I'll post back after I've put some miles on these, I'm wondering if I'll take a hit on mpg's or not since these have a more aggressive tread. Anyhow, here's some pictures.

 

Looks good. I see you got it in P-metric instead of LT? Weight should be close enough to stock that you won't notice an mpg loss.

 

i have the lt tire, its great but extremely heavy. mine currently has 38k miles on them and have plenty of life left in them

 

Looks good. I have been considering these vs. MS2's myself.

Size?

 

Zoom to the full-size photo on Photobucket and it shows P265/70-16. Looks like kingston73 went with what would be stock size on TRD Off Roads.

Might as well go with P265/75-16 (32" tire) - no rubbing if you have stock wheels.

 

I thought about that but the tire shop had a deal on these and didn't have the 265/75's in stock so I went with these. When I was deciding in the p or lt I looked up toyos site and I think it was something like 10 lbs difference per tire. Total price with alignment and balance was only $709 so I'm pretty satisfied.

 

^Yep, weight was also the reason I went with P-metric Hankook ATMs rather than LT-series.

You can save another 10 lb per corner by upgrading to alloy wheels.
