Open Country A/T III

Awful experience with Toyo

Self employed and rely on my truck to pickup material and deliver finished goods on a weekly basis. Truck must be reliable at all times. My duratracs had worn out and decided to replace with a set of Toyo open country AT3 after reading multiple decent reviews. Tires were mounted and balanced on a friday, drove the truck home and it sat for the weekend. Drove it on the monday and noticed something was wrong. The truck felt like it was floating all over the road when making turns. Tires were balanced properly on the rims and everything was torqued properly after checking it over. Aired the tires down to 50 psi and made no difference, possibly even worse. Truck is a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 and all front end parts are less than a year old. Truck drove straight however at any turn in the steering wheel it felt like the truck was driving over the sidewall of the tire . Go tout to check and the tread felt extremely soft and mushy. These were Load Range E. Did not feel safe at all and i cant imagine how much worse it would get with a heavy trailer on. After calling the shop who installed them , i drove down and took the sales guy for a drive who immediately agreed this was not normal. We even compared to another set of Open Country AT 3's with a lower load range that felt WAY harder and stiffer. Thankfully i had a friend with a spare set of wheels with K02's mounted which i put on and left my rims and tires at the shop. Took the sales guy for another ride with the K02 tires and everything felt as it should. We agreed it was the tires. After leaving the toyos in their hands i find out they were denied any sort of warranty by Toyo directly and there is no way these tires could be faulty. We arrange to have the toyo rep personally drive my vehicle and after i arrive today they fail to show up. I run a small business and buying brand name tires should not be a chore , causing headache and 3 trips and countless phonecalls with the tire shop. It doesnt matter if they have the best tire on earth i would never deal with Toyo again. Very poor customer service and clearly dont stand behind their product. Dont waste your money or time

No Warranty Caveat emptor

I purchased these tires for my daughters SUV as she was going away for University as an international student. We would have no connection to any mechanics or shops in this town. I wanted the best tires money could buy. Well after 23,000km 1 tire went flat and as a result was destroyed. This is where I find out there is no road hazard warranty and I'm out of pocket $379 for a new tire plus balance, installation and tax. The tires are good but have no warranty so buyer beware.

Excellent tires.

Northern Ontario, Canada. Excellent tires. Just here looking at sizes for another truck. Thought I’d put in my 2c. I’ve run a lot of trucks, in miserable places. I put a set of these on a truck last fall, and they have been great. On highway, gravel, bush/mining roads. Summer and winter. E rated 10 ply. No issues at all. Normally I run dedicated snow tires on everything, but my local dealer said he and his guys run these year round. I gave it a try, and they worked great in snow, ice, all winter. I’ll be getting another set for a different truck. First set of AT tires I’ve found that work well in the snow and winter.

Yes, I recommend this product.

High Price Crap Quality

After 30K, one of my tires developed small fissures (cracks). High price, poor quality. The dealer contacted Toyo's customer care but it seems their service matches the quality of their tires. Do yourself a favour, go buy a different brand.

Warranty? What warranty?

Put these AT III on my 2021 Honda Ridgeline. Initially love the tires. My first winter wasn't the best here in Atlantic Canada with these so I opted for a designated set of Toyo Observes Gi6 which are what's needed if anyone expects any real winter driving. My whole family are Toyo Tires fans. It was my understanding that the Treadwear Warranty on the AT III were 80,000 km. These tire were rotated and wheel aligned at every oil change or every 5 or 6 thousand KM. Hydrogen Aired all at 35 PSI with TPMS reading in dash. Now comes 60,000 km on the tires all highway driving and tires are done. So I bring them back to Tire Dealer where they tell me they should be covered no problem. They get the Toyo rep to look at the claim but to my surprise, I only get back about $35 per tire credit under warranty coverage. All I can say as much as I love Toyos, I am now shopping for a different brand that satisfies my needs on warranty coverage. There tires were perfectly worn even on all 4 tires. Not saying that Toyo doesn't honor their warranty claims, but I can tell you that I believe had I purchased them from an authorized Toyo dealer like OK Tire for example, maybe I would have been more happy with the outcome. The tire dealer I dealt with have sponsored my kids through sports, and I am going to continue to buy my tires there mainly for that but my next tires will be a brand that this Tire Dealer is certified for and rated amongst top tire brands in Canada. They told me had I bought that specific brand, they would have covered at least 50% of the cost of new ones. Spring sales are out so I will be shopping soon so I can save my Toyo Observes for next winter.

Good all around tire

When someone from the East says this is not a good winter tire because it was a thaw and freeze and freezing rain then snow… what tire would be good for there conditions beside all studded tire. More Eastern drives have no clue when it comes to tires I guess. This tire is snow rated and I have used these on all my trucks with over 300,000km driven in mountains and back roads and cities. One of the best winter and all around tire!

Not for winter driving.

These came on my truck. I thought the "triple peak" snowflake rating for winter meant something. These are not tires I would reccomend for winter driving at all. After driving 12km m this morning after a thaw/freeze cycle with some freezing rain and a few inches of snow on the roads..... I bought new tires and rims on my phone before getting out of my truck at my destination. I made sure that they were available to get installed within 12 hours so I didn't have to drive again with these these tires installed. Absolutely no ice and hard pack taction. Braking was non existant.....and I was crawling along. Never have I been so uncomfortable during winter driving. I'VE BEEN SLIPPING MOST OF THIS WINTER AND I ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS MINIMAL WEIGHT IN THE BOX OF THE TRUCK. THIS WAS NOT THE TRUCKS FAULT. THESE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE WINTER USE! NOT RECCOMENDED FOR WINTER

An aggressive look with a smooth ride

Mounted on a 22 Ford Ranger FX4 for three months now and are very impressive compared to the stock OE tire. Size is 265/70R17 at 31.7" tall compared to the stock 30.5.. Perfect fit with no rubbing. Surprised by how quiet they are on pavement. Traction on gravel with some mud is excellent and a bonus, this tread does not pick up and hold rocks to later fling out on the highway. This should be a good tire for my Yukon trip this spring and will then find out how they wear.

Great in slush and snow on a Grand Cherokee.

A limited selection of general purpose all terrain tires like B** AT for Jeep 20" oem rims, and maintain 265/50r20 overall size. I won't swap rims to gain skinnier winter tires, and other brands are taller, maybe 33" is too tall for the wheel wells on a Grand Cherokee. My dealer had these in stock. I am lucky to get a Chrysler discount on parts, so these AT III's were the best option. I use these on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My best comparison is my old Ford Explorer with B** AT's. The Toyo's are better rubber. Performance is mostly excellent. These are likely quieter than the B**'s. Performance in slush and heavy snow is excellent. Likely better than the B**'s for that too. Only 12,000 km, can't comment on wear.

Great Tires Very impressed

I have had these tires on my 2017 GMC 3500 HD diesel for about 18 months. They are great in the winter and are wearing really well. Only issue is you can't get replacements if you have an unrepairable puncture. 18" LT sizes have been on backorder for months with no expected dates. Reaching out for Toyo for some help! When will 35 x 12.5 R18 sizes become available again?? Don't buy these tires if replacements are not available.

So far so good, but...

I got these tires in LT275/70r18 put on my Silverado 1500 a few weeks ago. I've already had them on ice and snow and am pretty impressed with their traction and braking performance. I have driven almost 1000km of highway with them as well and they have composed handling and are pretty quiet as far as an all terrain tire goes. I can't say much for the treadlife of them yet, but a friend of mine has had the same tires for over a year and they seem to be holding up great. They do look a bit narrow for a 275, but do measure out to nearly 11" at the sidewall when mounted. My biggest complaint however is how the sidewall design looks. On my buddy's tires (LT275/65r20) the sidewall design looks way more meaty and aggressive. There indentations and protrusions are pretty deep. On my tires, (LT275/70r18) the sidewall pattern looks way less aggressive. The protrusions and indentations aren't anything more than some thin lines on the sidewall (this is probably why my tires look narrow for a 275). I talked to customer service and was assured this was because of the tire size, but I also saw another truck with smaller tires than mine and a more aggressive sidewall so that doesn't make sense. I know it doesn't affect performance but when paying what we pay for tires, I expect them to look good. I don't know if I just ended up with some tires from a batch that were made different, but it's a bit disappointing to see this kind of inconsistencies from a brand like Toyo.

Not worth the cost.

A very talked up and marketed tire, but the tread wear is awful. I know awd can be harder on the tread, but less than a year and under 30000km, my tires are pooched, like bald. I’ll gladly take pictures and show anyone the odometer readings and bill of sale for the date of purchase. Really unimpressed. I hope the R/Ts are better.

Bad durability

I know most of my miles are gravel but after getting 60K and 80K out of my last two sets of other brands’ A/T and M/T tires, I’ve gotten less than 50K out of these and have experienced bad stone drilling resulting in flats that were never a problem with the other tires mentioned above. Winter traction is also subpar despite the snowflake rating. If you’re looking for a rugged tire with good winter traction, you will not find it in these AT3s.

I own a 2020 tacoma. I drive like a little old man because I want my things to have a long life. So after 18k kms on these tires and they are below half wear I had the dealership call toyo and the response back was the wear is normal for light duty truck tires. Sorry we will not help you.

Better than the OC A/T II

I’m running my third set of the Toyo Open Coyntry AT series tires. The first set was on my 2004 Jeep and performed flawlessly. They are nice and quiet on road and aggressive enough to get over most obstacles Offroad. I’ve run another set on my Silverado and I am sold on them. They haven’t impacted my fuel economy and are an excellent all around tire. My first two sets lasted approximately 90-100,000kms

Better than I expected!

I've put on 1000km in various conditions. Off road in light mud they grip better than I had expected. In a gravel/mud mix they do tend to hold debris in the tread although once you gain some speed the treads seem to clear decently. For a low speed mud tire, get a mud tire. In heavy rain with partially washed out roads they don't hydroplane easily and are planted even in corners. On dry roads these tires are extremely quiet for the A/T tread pattern. Even quieter than Michelin LTX tires. You can cruise at 80mph and the wind going over the side mirrors is more prominent than anything. For the price they are fantastic. Time will tell on how they handle winter weather, and wear. From a handling perspective, in the A/T category these are outstanding. I had Cooper ATWs previously and they were OK, but can't compare to the Toyo AT3s. Turn in is crisp and linear with excellent feedback. Keeping in mind these tires are still new, yet impressive, and should remain impressive for at least 40,000miles - anything more than that is a bonus and knowingly will warrant a second purchase.
