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.

Pros:

Quiet & Well Balanced
|
|
Cons:

Expensive $$$$ / Poor winter traction
|
|
Very quiet tire for normal pavement driving. Easy to balance with minimal counter weights required on a 20" rim!
Overall good offroad traction but lacks good mud traction with normal tire pressure. As with all other mud terrain tires the snow grip is horrible and ice grip is almost nonexistent. I drive in Northern Canada and not sure where the other reviewers drive but these tires have poor snow & ice traction. I use them all year round and NEED all wheel drive just to start in any snow or ice conditions (normal for any mud tire).
Have 33x12.5R20 on a 2007 Ford F150 FX4 SuperCab. I got 50,000KM (31,000 Miles) on my first set with only 1 tire rotation. Hoping to get 60,000 to 70,000KM with regular rotations on my second set. My friends with diesels are lucky to get 50,000KM tread life in the large sizes (33's and up).
Have tried swampers and BFG's and overall the Toyo's are the quietest, best handling mud terrain I have owned. I guess you have to pay a premium price for the best!

2000 F350 SRW on 35.12.5R18. I have driven in snow, rain, Light mud, loose gravel, rocks, and hiway. I have driven many different sets of M/T tires and these have to be the most comfortable to date. Most of my driving is paved, but I get into the dirt during hunting season. The E rating supports my gooseneck horse trailer and gives me great confidence on the rocks. The only bad trait I can think of is that the tire tends to wander. Not left, not right, but wander. I had my front end completely rebuilt thinking the issue was with my truck. About $1800 later I ran into a buddy with an F350 that complained about the same problem. The good news, I don't have to worry about the condition of my drivetrain. The bad news, it still wanders. It's a small price to pay for such a great tire.

I like the tires, But they are not a true off road tire, they are a street mt so dont buy them if you have a mud truck, just like you dont buy boggers for a street queen

I bought the MTs a month a go through 4wheel parts. I am not sure if they didnt balance them right or it is the tire. According the the reviews everyone says they ride smooth. Well I normally run an all terain tire and I am use to that smooth ride. The MTs pull to the right so bad I had to go get my front end checked for alignment but nothing was wrong. Also the tires shakes my entire truck F150 Supercrew from about 50 mph and up. Can someone tell me there opionion what is wrong. The tires balanced when shipped. I might have about 500 miles on the tires. I am so not satisfied.

If the tire is shacking your truck have them balanced. If you think the tires are causing a pull left or right check alignment and check front end for loose track bars etc.
Not all alignment shops will check for loose worn parts when they do a quick check, in an effort to save money.

Bought these for a 4 Runner to get me 4 miles into unmaintained Forest Service roads in Southwest Montana where I have a cabin. Rolling open plains with some steep hills, roads that have sharp rocks stickin up a lot, some mud in places, and numerous small stream crossings. These tires performed great. Grip felt perfect in all conditions and happily no poped tires, even when I was driving fast one night to beat the dark. AND, did 85mph on I-15 and they felt and sounded like regular stock tires.

I have the 285s on an 04 toyota and they do great very quiet. Only bad thing is you must turn them over fast to make the mud clean out of the tires. But overall it is a great tire.

All depends on what you're looking for. If you want a tire that makes your truck look aggressive, and last for a long time on the road; this is the tire for you. If you want a kick ass desert tire; again you will want this tire. If you are looking for a tire to drive in the snow, dirt, thick sand, rock, or mud; I can name street tires that are better. They are basically Toyo's version of the Thornbird, look sick as hell but really don't do much. There are much better tires out there for the money, but if your just a mall crawler; this is the tire for you.

I love my toyo's. I've got 33/12.5/20 on my Red 2004 F150 FTX supercrew. I live on the coast and i through some very deep sand alot. I can go through in 2wd and not even get bogged down. We also have a secret muddin place behind the dunes and they go through mud like nothin. They also are awesome on the highway. Its rains a lot around here and i haven't had a problem yet. They are expensive but they are VERY worth it!! You've got to get you some of these bad boys.

Great tire, looks great, handles great. Does well in all conditions, including wet and snow, which surprised me.
For those of you with 'wandering' tires. Its more than likely the unsprung weight of your tires and wheels. Along with the over all size. Big size tires are very hard to balance, and toyo is the best by far for a m/t. All big tires follow bumps int he road... Ive ran a/t's, m/t's, BFGs, Bridgestone, Mickthom's, you name it. Best tire I've driven on.
They need to make the 33's in a 10 play though.
