Who here has run Toyo Tires Open Country M/T's?

[Ry' N Jen]

If I recall correctly Troy ran these before M/T R Kevlar.
How were they compared to Goodyear's?
Are the M/T R's better?

Anyone else ever use Toyo Tires Open Country M/T's?

 

[tjkj2002]

Yeah I ran them before the MT/R's.Great street manners,never offroaded them so no help there.They balanced very well but are super heavy for there size.When I ran the Toyo's no tire required more then 3oz of weight which is almost unheard of for a aggressive tread 35" tire on a steel rim no less.

The 35x13.50x15 Toyo MT's I ran weighed 87lbs alone,just the tire.My 35x12.50x15 MT/R K's on 15x8 alloy rims weight 89lbs each,that's the tire and rim combined.

FWIW, I am running the Open Country A/T's and they've been great. Can't comment on off-road ability, but they've worn well. Sidewalls were a little....rippled...from the get-go, but haven't gotten any worse. I'm satisfied with them thus far, and I have 40k on them.

I want 32 inch tall tires but I'd like have them as wide as possible.
285-70-16 Toyo Tires Open Country M/T's
or
285-70-16 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's.
If it rubs. TFB! Too :favorites68: Bad!

Wow, 285 would be really tough to fit, wouldn't it?

Who knows!
Just keep beating and reshaping until they fit!

I like your way of thinking.

What else can you do really?
Ya can't have your cake and eat it too!

a new 790s and your wheel spacers might have a hope of fitting the 285 70 16, with a bit of persuasiveness. 285 75 16s from what i've seen in the few that have tried it seems to be significantly more adventurous in the does it fit category requiring a larger then expected BFH.

 

[Ry' N Jen]

That's why I wanted the 285-70's.
Still a 31" tall tire like a 245-75 but a couple of inches wider at 11.22" compared
to 9.65 inches (245-75-16)

 

[Cardhu]

I think their closer in size to the 265 75 16s diameter, like ~.1 of a foot.

you relocate the washer bottle yet? It will be tight, but you already know that.

Since the rest is move, trim, heat, pound; the biggest issue I would see is does the sidewall clear the UCA, thinking yes with your spacers or a moab rim set up. If you have greater then 2.5 cm right now then I suppose yes.

Toyo's are HEAVY
And the side walls are very hard or stiff
Even at 12 psi under a JKU they were flexing way less
Than my MT/R-K's at 15 psi under my lighter TJ
And these were the C range 33's like my MT/R's
Making them a poor choice for rocks

Thanks,
A few folks have told me that they are ridiculously heavy and don't flex as well
as M/T R K's.
The fellow at the tire shop I have been dealing with for the last 31 years says
that the load range E M/T R K's we have flex better than the Toyo's.
Hmmm...
Maybe it's 265-75-16's M/T R K's for our next set of tires then.
Or a set of the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T in 285-70-16's.

I had load range E's and got over 70 K miles from them on a 2dr jk. Stiff yes, heavy damn yes. But tough as nails. Did I but another set... No. Got terra grapplers and the ride is so much better.
