Review of
the
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.

Mike -
"Jeep Wrangler Rubicon -
35 x 12.50 x17 - I had a set of the Goodyear Wrangler
MTr's and they were good but VERY LOUD!!. I love my
Toyo's. they are awesome on the road and are very quiet
as well compared to the wranglers. they do have a slight
slight hum to them but nothing like the nobbyness of the
wranglers. I have seem them perform off road as well
with a friends jeep and they are awesome there as well.
I haven't seen them in wet weather yet but I live in
florida so its just a matter of time. Overall this tire
is the best that I have ever had on my jeep. AWESOME
TIRE!!!"
