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.

Got 315/75R16 on all corners of a 2002 Ranger. They handle everything I have thrown at them. Some rock crawling, alot of mud, and TONS of snow. I dont know what these guys are talking about when they say they dont do well in snow or ice. I head up snowboarding at least twice a week and have never had the hint of slipping. Maybe these guys are clueless on how to drive in the stuff.

There is nothing negative I can say about these tires. This is my 2nd set, first set was 35/12.5/15 on K1500. They worked GREAT on almost everything, but I dont do any heavy mudding. Mostly trips to either the snow (snow skiing/boarding) or trips to the dunes (quading / camping). My current set is on a K2500HD Duramax towing over 15k. The only suitable size I could find was the typical 35/12.5/16 (315/75R16). These tires have worked great and last longer than any other 4x4 tire I have owned, including the popular BFG AT. And these Toyo's outperformed all other MT tires I have owned hands down. Both on the street, and off-road in the wet/snow/icy climates and in the very soft Sand. BUT, my newer tires did not work as well in the sand as my older 35/13.50's, due to increased stiffness of the sidewall and narrower design. All in all, I would be EXTREMELY elated if Toyo were to build this tire in a 35/14.5/R16 size (365/65R16) but alas they do not, and the company has no plans for releasing this size tire in the M/T as of yet, SO, I have to shop for another tire, hence the reason I have been reading these reviews and might end up buying some Nitto's instead (aarg). I have run everything from Desert Duellers, to BFG AT & MT, Pro comp MT, Dick Cepek MT (older style), even some older Winston Fun & Muds, and NONE of them come close to the overall performance of these Toyo's. Dang, why cant they make them a bit wider....aarg...

35 X 12.5 X 20 - Nissan Titan LE, 6" Fabtech lift
These tires make my Titan look like a real truck. Gas mileage went from 14 Hwy to 12 Hwy, not to bad considering the big jump in size. I was pleasantly surprised at how (relatively) quiet these tires are on the road. Not really sure why all the negative posts about these tires in the snow; I drive all over the Cascade mountain range in the winter and have had great luck with these tires in the snow. Mud traction is pretty good. I think that these tires where designed for guys like me; someone who drives his rig 80% on road. The 20% is mostly spent looking for deer, elk, and driving to Coyote spots. My only gripe is the cost / mileage ratio. I have 36k m on mine and they need to be replaced. However, I rotated them every 6km or so. I do tow a 24' lightweight travel trailer, not even close to this tires max load rating, so? I am going to buy these again and religiously rotate every 3k mi. Hopefully this will improve the mileage. Had I gotten better mileage the first time I would have given these tires a 9. Also, I bought mine direct from Les so I likely paid more. Cant beat the service, though. This time I will make sure I eat all the free popcorn in the machine so maybe I will get my money's worth!

This is the best tire I have ever owned. I have had them on 2 different trucks and i love them. I am about to purchase my 3rd set soon. I currently have 46k on my 35x12.50x20 on a 2007 Ford F250 Superduty. I previously had them on a 2004 Dodge 3500 SRW Cummins w/ 6speed manual and towed a 32' trailer often and I loved them. Les Schwab in Lake Stevens, WA has sold me both sets and the last set they shipped to me all the way in Augusta,GA when I was unable to purchase them locally....

As far as a daily driving rain/mud/snow/sand/trail tire is concerned, I have not one bad thing to say about these. Yes they are costly, but they will tackle everything and the wear has been great. Not sure where folks are getting the idea that these tires are terrible in the snow, I've got 33X12.5 on a f150 and was just plowing through two plus feet of snow last weekend. Maybe it's the driver and not so much the tire

I have an 08 hd. Currently I'm running 40x15.50x22. These are by far the best riding tire I have owned. The down-fall is i only got 22k miles out of this set and they are completly worn out. I rotated them every 4,000 miles as well as aligned them every 7,000 miles. Paying 3,400 for the set is rediculous for only getting 22k miles out of them. I am hoping I just got a faulty set. But running a 22 in rim on a truck whit 12 inches of lift, you are limited to what tires are made in the size you need. I'm giving toyo another chance bc I'm not going with super swamper and Nitto Mud Grapplers are rediculously noisy.

Installed these tires on my 2006 Titan;Rotated every 10,000km and approaching 80,000km;might get to 100,000km.Anyone who rides with me comments on the lack of tire noise.I have used mudders on other trucks I've owned and nothing has come close to these.Poor traction on ice/packed snow,yes.But these are mudders people! I drive 100,000km a year, 95% highway, but I then go offroad and these are the best tires I've used. Starting to price out my next set.

37x14.5R15 on Ram 1500 with 8" lift.
I don't know why everyone keeps saying they wear fast. I have 15000 on mine and they are just now starting to wear. Maybe they should rotate them every 6000, and remember they are a mud terrain!
I have been through plenty of mud and snow and have never gotten stuck. These tires are awsome! They are heavy however which has decreased my fuel millage a little. But it's worth the trade off of being able to go anywhere.
