New Toyo Open Country A/T III tire

I went with the stock 265/65R17's as they weigh about the same as the TOYO Open Country A30's I took off...after 2 weeks I only lost about 1MPG and the XL's are as smooth on the pavement as the A30's were...went through a monster of a rainstorm Sunday morning and they tracked true with no hydroplaning. The other plus is that they are almost as quiet as highway treads at interstate speeds. So far, I'm really impressed with these Open Country A/T III's.

 

See my post above with these tires on the same wheels. approx 1.75-2 inch lift - no real issues with rubbing.

Thanks. Looks great on the 4r as well

 

Thanks. That's a nice looking truck. Do you think I would suffer with stock gears?

 

What's the highest number of miles any of you have on these so far? Thinking of getting some for myself but wondering how long they wear in real use. Also, for higher mileage people, how is the noise level as they wear?

 

I've got less than 10k on mine, but I can tell you they were kinda loud for the first 500 miles but quieted down after that.

 

Thanks. Yes - taller, heavier tires drop your RPM and are noticeable but you can get away with stock gears and 33's as long as you are not expected it to be as quick as it was stock. Once moving it's not really that obvious but you are going from a 38 lb tire to a 50 lb tire so it will make a difference. Depends on how much you can live with it. I live at 6K above sea level so power is already down, Add in our huge grades up to 11K and it was a struggle on those big climbs. OV tune helped for about a year but I finally bit the bullet and did gears. Best thing I did.

Thanks @Discount Tire for helping me out with the $100 off sale. So far so good but only have about 10 miles on them.

 

@phishtaco Our pleasure, thank you for your business. Looks Awesome!

 

My fiancé borrowed my truck and came back to surprise with these bad boys. I’m a lucky man.265/75/16 sl

 

Stock size 265/70/r16 SL for the daily driver. Made in Japan (not sure this matters for SL). Drive and feel great on local and fwy only. Love them so far!

 

Wow, your rig looks great! How did you manage the $100 off though? I've been keeping my eyes peeled for Discount to email me about promos on either Toyo or Falkens because it's time for new shoes...

 

I was wondering the same thing. If I can get a $100 discount, I’d buy some right now

 

DTD often runs $100 off specials. Subscribe to their emails. This particular sale was only offered through Discount Tire Direct and not through the local stores. The @Discount Tire helped me go through my local store for ordering and install. I would expect something again by the end of May.

 

Yeah thinking of getting these as well and a good sale could be the tipping point. Anything coming up soon @Discount Tire ?

 

If you are in the western states, Point S tire (similar to a Les Schwab chain) has had a Toyo buy 3 get 1 free deal in the fall for the past few years. I was very pleased.

 

Likewise here in So Cali.. American Tire Depot, buy 3 get 1 free deal.. got my AT3s E Load when they first came out in April 2020

 

I really like these AT3s so far. Softer ride than the stock tires and look great.

 

How well do they balance?

 

How has SL held up for folks? I’m thinking of running these as my pavement tires but am concerned because I tow a 4,000 lbs boat package often...would the SLs hold up to tow duty?
