Over 100K on Toyo Open Country tires on my DD 3rd gen

These Toyo Open Country P265/70R17 had 103K miles and I decided they need to retire,...hey a pun. I saw an Amazon review, one guy said he got 120K on them. Held nice balance and wear, no holes ever that I can remember, I probably rotated them every 30K at best. I do a lot of high speed highway miles, so my use is optimal. Some cart roads, washouts, construction sites and seasonal snow. Usually loaded with heavy cargo.
I decided to beef up a little, and threw on P285/70R17, they have the same wear warranty of 60K. I give them 5 stars for a DD.

that's some long wear for sure! All the highway didn't hurt either.

A 100k on a set of tires is downright impressive, especially if they aren’t race slicks by the end of life.

They were worn enough so they wouldn't have passed DOT inspection, but not horrible. Getting sketchy for high speed hydroplaning. They certainly don't owe me anything.

Did you spray them annually with WD40?

I'm obviously joking around, still amazes me how clean your chassis is using just WD40

Yeah, that's probably why I'm drifting so much on the off ramps :/)
Yeah chassis is staying solid as long as I have it.

Were they load range E?

Must be some really hard compound. Were they slick in the rain?

I ran those tires for years on several different rigs and don't recall ever having them go more than 50K or so. I haven't run them in several years though and always in LT load range C or D.

These are P-Metric tires, standard load (4ply). Obviously these aren't for bouncing off rocks and climbing. Good for a DD for my use. They we're ok in rain, didn't have an issue. The reason I got so many miles is long trips going straight on highways. Lot of stops and turns def shortens the life of tires.

Aren't Toyos still made in Japan? I have a Michelin LTX spare from 1999 when they were still made in Japan. Less dry rot than the POS Cooper AT3s I installed three years ago.

I am impressed. What kind of Price we talking for those? Most of the tires I run around these crappy roads last 30k to 40k tops. So I looking into options as what's best.

Not sure where they are made. Tire dry rot is caused by excessive heat and direct sunlight, so the spare mounted below will not really be subjected to the factors. I thought that was the cause, and I just Googled it, and yup, that's how it happens.

They are about $150ish for 265/17 and $175ish for 285/17 on Amazon. These are standard on some factory Jeeps (Toyo Open Country P285/70R17). So you can find new "take offs" people going bigger on new Jeeps. I just bought 1, its take off from a Jeep spare, brand new, paid $100 off CL. I also bought a extra I'm keeping in my basement in case I need it, 80% tread, paid $40 off CL.

I should clarify that it was a regularly used tire turned into a spare. Has about 40% tread left I'd say. Still more impressive to me. Rubber used to last a lot longer even when exposed to sun.
