Toyo Open Country A/T II

[quicksilvr]

i have the p size and they look a lot more aggressive in real life than that picture. i'm happy with the way they look.

Yeah, I think the flash in that picture made it a bad one for comparison. I guess the only thing I know for a fact is that the LT tires have 2/32 more tread depth. Beyond that, they might be identical for all I can tell based on what people are saying.

I am about to get a set of these as well in the LT285/70R17 flavor so I emailed Toyo about the P vs LT vs Xtreme. They sent me a list of the sizes of each design as well as this picture showing the differences between them.

That's the best comparison photo I've seen. It really does make the LT and XT look a lot more aggressive. I wonder if there is additional loss of mpg with the LT or XT. I lost 1-2mpg upgrading from Michelin Cross Terrains to the P-Rated OC's. Luckily, I didn't buy the 4Runner for mpg. I'm still very happy with my choice.

i've seen the xtremes on a tundra. they look incredible. buy those, you shouldn't even question that decision.

The Xrtemes do look way better than the others but unfortunately the smallest size they make them for a 17" rim is 285/75R17 which is a bit too large for my rig. I don't get why Toyo didn't make all the sizes like the Xtremes since they look so much better.

This is awesome and thx for sharing. Looks much better than some of the other pics.

they look more aggressive than the p sized terra grapplers.

NoMoreJeep, thanks for sharing that chart that Toyo sent you! Very informative in a thread like this for prospective tire buyers.

Here's a couple better pictures on my rig. LT265/75R16, load range C.

How true to size are these?

 

[quicksilvr]

All I can say is that they are exactly the same size at my sisters LT265/75R16 Goodyear Duratracs. I haven't measured mine. I can though, and I'll post it.

after seeing those pics of the LT size i'm really glad i got the P size. mine look exactly the same.

Nice - good to know. I'm now 75% leaning Open Country's.

so far i'm really happy with them. i've only driven them on pavement but they're great in the rain so far, and very quiet. i think they make less noise than the road tires they replaced. i hope they kick ass on the snow like everyone says they do. i really dont do any off roading.

Stanley,
Time to get on the Toyo train. Quit debating and make it happen! :flamethrwoer2: You won't be disappointed!

Well, if their deep mud performance is any indication how they do in snow, I know you'll be pleased. I went out and tried to get stuck, but couldn't! I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

My LT285s are getting put on tomorrow afternoon :reddance: If the rain will hold out Ill get some pictures uploaded.

Haha - yeah.... Good Lord am I slackin.... Lol. I think the ridiculous amount of money I just dropped on xmas presents made me feel guilty for wanting new tires when my crappy 265-65-17 Maxxis Bravo all seasons that came on my ride when I bought it still have about 1/3 life left in them.

I've been trying to justify the purchase with the fact that we just had our baby girl in October and they'll be safer and all that... Lol. I do have the wife's approval, but it's the guilt factor I'm dealing with!! Lol

They are very similar. I did see some p rated ones on a Chevy Colorado at the grocery store yesterday, and in person I can definitely see the difference. For the person worried that they won't be tough enough looking, the LT's are the way to go. For the person that likes the lightweight and longer warranty but, get those p rated units. Still an aggressive tire by most standards

Sweet, I want to see them in 285!

So the tire shop ordered my 285s in the P design so I have to wait until tomorrow to get the correct ones installed. While I was there I checked out the P and LT side by side. The LT is definitely beefier/more aggressive and looks like it will be more at home off-road.
