Toyo Open Country AT III Owner Reviews

Most drivers report the Toyo Open Country AT III as a strong all-around all-terrain tyre, praised for confident handling and traction on dirt, snow and wet roads, with several high-scoring reviews highlighting long service life and even wear. Noise is generally described as low to moderate for an A/T, though a minority report noticeable noise and reduced responsiveness. The most consistent downside across lower/mid-scoring reviews is faster-than-expected tread wear compared with key competitors.

Quiet and comfortable for all terrains - not too much wheelspin on dry and wet tarmac.
I have not had any troubles towing either.
Not been to harsh on them off road all I really cross are feilds and they haven’t seen a winter yet, so that will be the biggest test.

Considering they are more off road focused, they are very well mannered on road, there is no obvious road noise and the tyres offer a good ride. Dry grip is good but wet grip not so much, but certainly not bad, and in fairness I didn't buy these tyres for their road handling capabilities.

Really impressed with theses tires. Bought the LT version of the tires because I tow a 6k lbs trailer around all summer. The ride is stiff but the handling is amazing, no more Rolly Polly when changing lanes or sweeping turns! Live in Ontario so get a lot of snow, they handle really well and even aired them down to go down my favorite hunting trail in 7-8 inches of powder. Have had them when rock crawling in places I shouldn't have been with a stock GMC AT4 and they have never met me down. Best thing is after 75k miles with 40k towing a trailer I still have about half of the tread depth left.

I've had them all... KO, KO2, KO3, Michelin AT2, Yokohama GO15 (terrible), and more...

The Toyo and the BFG is neck and neck for performance on dirt/snow/dry.
The Toyo is better than the KO3 at hydroplane resistance when you hit one tire in a deep puddle. It tracks much straighter and gives better confidence.
The Toyo is slightly quieter than the KO2, slightly louder than the KO3 (splitting hairs here).
The Toyo wears through its more useful rubber and siping at about 40k miles on both my GX470 (P265/70/17) and my Tacoma (LT285/70/17). There is no real benefit in mileage on a light truck/suv between standard load and LT sizing... it's just warranty numbers because the LT tire is rated for big trucks that might tow...
The BFG looks way cooler due to it's sidewall lugs
The Toyo is SLIGHTLY better on ice, although the BFG stops slightly better on packed snow.
IF you're in the rockies with a dry climate and lots of packed snow driving... either option suits well...
IF you live in a desert climate... I think the BFG for sure.

I've had this tires on a Suzuki Jimny, so a light car. After 20.000km, they have half the tire tread and I'm not sure they will reach 50.000km.
They are quiet and light (2kg lighter than a Falken Wildpeak), did pretty well offroading and quite well on the road but the main problem is the wear. Not sure if I will buy them again or go for Falken

Great tire. If you want a just great all around reliable tire that will last and just keep on going this is your tire. Does have a slight hum like most aggressive AT tires but not really noticeable unless you focus on it. I have been in some rough spots in a heavy truck and these have always got me out, and have held up really well on all my vehicles. My 4 runner will be next to get this tire as well. Can’t recommend them enough.

Quality tire that has lasted through a lot of miles and off road use. I have a variant size that is the Toyo extreme version and they are the best tire I have come across for all types of use on a 4x4. Wish they made this version in larger sizes. Still running strong minimal wear!

A definite step in the right direction from the older AT2 in basically every way. I've driven multiple ram rebels that came with them stock, and I can say that the AT3 on my outdoorsman makes it feel more confident and capable than those trucks ever felt. Living in Atlantic Canada and being mid-late January, I have gotten a pretty good chance to experience how these work in the winter. Snow traction is above average for the all terrain class, although ice traction is still pretty average for the class. It's worth noting as well that these tires are very quiet compared to some of their main competitors although the perceived responsiveness does suffer a bit. That being said, they actually do handle pretty well, or at least they can handle more cornering load than my almost 5500lbs lifted truck is going to ever ask of them. Braking is pretty good for the size of the truck. They do an ok job at putting the power down when asked, but there is only so much you can expect with 3.92 gears on an 8 speed hemi with some mods. All in, I will probably end up buying these again when they need to be replaced in a few years.
