Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain Tire
Toyo recently introduced its newest tire, the Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain (M/T) radial. While this tire isn't the traditional hardcore rockcrawling or extreme mud tire; it will survive the toughest backcountry challenges and perform well. The targeted market for the Open Country is those who need a comfortable, quiet, well mannered daily driven Mud Terrain tire that works as a weekend warrior on moderate to tough terrain, tackling serious trails. To accommodate a wide range of buyers, the Open Country M/T was packed with technology to make it capable of handling severe heat and frequently changing loads. It has an aggressive tread for traction and good looks, deep siping and an open-shoulder design for improved grip, and tread-block stabilizers. The tire uses a three-ply polyester casing, two wide steel belts, and two spiral-wound nylon cap plies, all of which make handling comfortable and predictable, on dirt or asphalt. In addition to its durable construction, the Open Country M/T uses an abrasion-resistant compound in the sidewall, shielding its most vulnerable area. This tire has an excellent load rating, possibly the highest available in a mud terrain: the 38x15.50x18LT tire has a 128 rating, meaning it can handle up to 3960 pounds per tire. It's also capable of a 99-mph top speed.

Awesome tire! Had Toyo A/T's wore out fast, but the MT's last much longer! I am running Load E-range, cruising down the freeway they are quiet? That's great for an M/T!

mixed reviews on the MTs. Loved them on my 2500 dodge diesel. Great ride and good traction off-road. Must need the extra weight of the diesel to make these tires woek. Hated them on my Jeep unlimited. Way to heavy a tire for a 6cyl. and very little traction in the snow on the jeep. Switched to Mickey MTZs on the jeep and couldn't be happier.

To that last guy above, I checked out DesertRat,com and I see the Toyo at it's cheapest is 219, not 209 and the rest go up from there. In fact DesertRat is expensive selling these Toyos that Ive seen. The Toyo Open Country MT's on my 07 JK came from OK Auto, 4wd & Tire and I got them for less than what DesertRat has my size listed for. Don't know the size you're running but I'll bet OK can beat that price. www.ok4wd.com
Now my impression of the Toyo Open Country MT .... Great Tire. I wanted something I'd be happy with on the commute and somethign I could take to the trails a few times a year. After doing a lot of reading (here included) I decided on the Toyo MTs. On the road they're great. Handles good, quiet for an MT with a nice little hum that sounds cool but not loud at all. Wet weather they're decent, no complaints there. In the snow (what little I got up here in northern NJ and over in the Poconos, the Toyos cut through it great with very good traction. In the mud holes over in PA, the Toyos do great. I've never been stuck in the holes I've been in. On the Rocks of Rausch Creek they gave me some great traction aired down to 18 psi and they didn't tear apart like my old Interco's did with the soft compound. The only time I've had the chance to use my Warn Winch was to put some friends out! The only reason I gave it a 9 is because of the price. As a tire, it's a great tire but in my opinion, it's overpriced in all sizes. I wanted to go taller after putting a lift on my JK but I don't have that kind of money laying around. When these wear out, I may have to compromise with a less expensive tire if I want taller. Good tire if you got the money to burn.

Running 33X12.5R18s on my '05 Ford F-150 FX4. Awesome tires! Look great and perform great on and off road. They are pricy ($315 a piece), but from what I have heard, they will last a little longer than many other MT tires. I am gonna have to get new wheels though b/c I have some clearance issues with the upper control arms because of the aggressive sidewalls!
