Top 3 Toyo Open Country WT Reviews

Given 89% while driving a Land Rover Discovery 2 (255/55 R18) on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Fitted to a 2001 Land Rover Discovery Td5. I've done 30,000 miles on these tyres and there's still good tread depth although I'll be looking at changing (for the same model tyre) in the next year. Despite what is said, I find they perform well in both winter and summer (up to 35C ambient) and don't wear rapidly as I feared.

I recommend these tyres whole heartedly.

Given 90% while driving a Honda CRV (215/65 R16) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
I use my CR-V daily for work and pleasure - work involves some off-road use (20%) - unmade tracks, muddy fields, hilly terrain etc. I chose these TOYO Open Country W/T Winter Tyres as a compromise over All Terrain tyres because they seemed great value for money and reviews were, on the whole, positive. 5,000 miles on and I'm very happy with them - roadwork is absolutely fine, no issues, albeit they are slightly noisy but not in any way intrusive. Off-road they have not let me down and I feel confident that they will get me in, and out, of where I have to go. Tyre wear so far, through spring / summer, is negligible after 5,000 miles - approximately 4K on road / 1K off-road. Would I buy again? Definitely.

Given 91% while driving a Land Rover Freelander 2 (235/65 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
The tyres are great. I live in Scottish West Coast Highlands and they are superb in wet conditions here. They were excellent in recent snowy and icy weather making the Freelander 2 unstoppable. Very reassured on the road when it was snowy/slushy. In the dry weather the tyres have been fine as well. Can't comment on wear yet as they haven't been on the car that long. But I would recommend them or the conditions here.
