TOYO Open Country A/T III

[D Fresh]

That really looks good! Have you noticed much of a difference in how it drives? Did it affect acceleration or braking?

Just got them on and drove 'em home.

About to bed down and will update this after my commute to work and back tonight. That's about 90 miles roundtrip on various roads that I know very well.

Acceleration and braking seemed minimally effected at calm city speeds.

Small expansion joints is where the additional unsprung weight was most noticeable as of now. Nothing horrible though, just slightly different.

For clarification these are E rated and my truck is sitting on a Fox 2.0 stage 1 level kit + global Ranger rear springs.

Not a lot of road noise. Wife loves them, and it was HER idea.

After my commute I can report that my initial assessment stands.

I can definitely feel the increase in weight. But it's not glaringly obvious in any category.

Acceleration is minimally affected, as is braking. Ride is slightly more harsh. No vibrations up to rouvhly 90mph, slight hum over about 45mph.

As long as they hold strong in the snow I think I'll like these.

Having the Fox 2.0 installed on mine next week and have the same tires ordered. Have they beat you up on mpg too bad? Not really worried about it just curious. I see you’re in Colorado. I’m in Wyoming so we probably drive a lot of the same conditions on and off road. Have you had any clearance/rubbing issues? I have no desire to modify the crash bars.

Can't say on MPG. Never calculated it on stock tires or these. Just not a big concern of mine.

No clearance or rubbing issues. Had them on a light trail this weekend. Lots of this type stuff...

...still pristine in the wheelwells. No signs of rubbing on liners or factory bars.

Just to clarify, this is on factory offset. Spacers or aftermarket wheels will probably put you into the bars.

I might add small spacers for stance at some point but if I do I'll go to aftermarket bars.

Keeping the factory crash bars in place was one of my criteria when choosing tire size as well.

Tires handled it like a champ. I didn't air down due to the length of the trail and the sidewalls did well on the rocks.

I haven't chalk tested them yet but 36 psi cold seems to be the spot. On the road you can definitely feel the extra weight. But it's not as obtrusive as I feared. Didn't have me jonesing for a tune or anything. Yet.

If you're changing your tire size with Forscan let me know. I'll look up the value I used so you have somewhere to start.

I have these tires and love them. A very good choice.

 

[RedlandRanger]

I just got these tires installed yesterday. So far I really like them. I will see what it does to my MPG - I'm hoping it won't make too much of a dent.

Thanks so much for all the info! That really helps me feel like i made the right decision. I am going stock rims with no spacers and factory offset as well. That’s good to hear it doesn’t get too sluggish with the bigger tires. I’m debating the FP tune myself but it’s not a priority. Glad everything clears on the trails with no further mods. I need to look into the Forscan. Adjusting for the bigger tires would be nice.

Still deciding how I feel about them. Same size as factory Hankooks, noticed a loss of MPG and they do feel heavier although they may only be 2lbs heavier.

D Fresh - all 255/80/17 forum searches lead to you ? Are you still on stock crash bars with no wheel spacers? Now that you’ve had them for a few months any rubbing on or off-road? How is clearance with the upper control arms?

Been great so far.

My off road travels have been limited to light trails as of yet. But no rubbing so far.

Clearance at upper control arm and stock bars with wheel straight. Truck is dirty, it's been wet.

Still no spacers, factory 17"s, factory crash bars.

Thank you ?

Thanks for all you guy's information. It's very helpful. l am still on the stock Hankooks. Next year around this time I will be ready for some new skins!

Finally got some snow here.


These tires are great. Handled the snow very well. Had some trouble with the icy bits but that's to be expected unless you wanna go with winter tires.

Also, sand mode is the ticket to disable RSC if anybody is thinking about hooning an empty parking lot.

I don’t have a ton of miles on them yet, but haven’t noticed any substantial road noise or weird handling. I live in FL so they have seen plenty of rain and wet roads and no issues there either.

No off-roading or mud yet, so I can’t speak on how well they would preform in those scenarios.

I love the look of these, especially over stock. These with the level and 1.5” spacers make the truck look “right”. Like they should come from the factory IMO.

Curious, how high is your roof line now? i have 2.5 level with my stock tires right now and i have already found one parking garage i had to take my antenna off for, just wondering how high the bigger tires make it over stock + level.
