Toyo Open Country RT Trail

Toyo Tyres All Terrain and Off Road All Season

The Toyo Open Country R/T Trail sits between an all-terrain and mud terrain tyre in terms of off-road ability. The tyre uses thick shoulder and sidewall lugs to help with grip in sand, mud and deep snow, while also protecting against impacts and punctures. Made for light trucks and SUVs, it offers more off-road performance than a standard all-terrain tyre, but with less road noise than a mud terrain.

The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Toyo Open Country R/T Trail represents the lowest-performing option in the test group, failing to excel in any meaningful way across the various evaluation criteria. The tyre provides a firm ride with residual bumpiness that becomes particularly noticeable over repeating road undulations, while noise levels remain high with a steady tread growl that becomes wearing during extended drives. The wet weather performance proves particularly concerning, with the lowest wet grip in the group leading to early and conservative braking requirements, delayed steering inputs, and frequent wheelspin even with careful throttle application. Emergency lane change performance suffers from heavy, slow steering with poor responsiveness and limited traction that results in frequent test failures.
