Toyo Open Country ATIII Review

[djevox]

Have Toyo AT3 305/45/22 on stock rims, after 13K miles in the North East they have performed very well on dry, wet, snow covered pavement, dirt roads, grass fields and ice storms. I run them at 40 PSI and have zero road noise. only complaint is they seem to wear fast and I will be surprised if I get to 40K before having to replace.

Not trying to pick on you, but how’s the inflation on your tires (bulge at bottom of your pic makes them look underinflated) and is your alignment ok?

Just got my Toyo OC AT3s in 305/45/22 ordered. Will post some pics on my 1.5" leveled truck next week!

Make sure you take advantage of that warranty. I believe they’ll prorate you for mileage under the warranty for a new set but haven’t dived into the details

Christmas came early in the form of tires a week ahead of time . I could not be happier with them. Look amazing, ride better than stock, and noise is so negligible you have to be going 40+ with the windows down and radio off to even convince yourself they might be louder. Not even close to rubbing in Aero as best I can tell. Didn’t check entry/exit but didn’t care so much about that.

Looks great man, definitely keen on getting these, then we'll be official truck buddies with matching black, night edition, ReadyLifted Limiteds with Toyo AT3 305's!

Beautiful looking truck. Did you have to lift or level it before upgrading to 305’s?

Not at all! There’s slight rubbing but nothing a little bit of heat can’t fix. Plan on pushing back the inside fender just a bit and it’ll solve itself

It’s been raining (or snowing ) every day since I picked her up early last week so she’s dirty but I did put 305/45 22 Toyo OC A/T III’s on it this morning.

40 PSI cold and alignment seems good. bulge has always been there on all four. I assume it is from the 9 inch wide stock wheel?

Probably, since that size was spec’d for 9.5-11.5” wheels. Maybe the pics make it look excessive.

I looked last night and do see slightly more wear on the outer tread. May be an alignment issue even though the truck rides straight.

Usually a small rim with a tire that’s too wide will cause a balloon effect just like over inflation. That should cause the middle of the tire to wear faster than the outer edges. If you are only seeing more wear on the outer portion of the tires and they have not been rotated recently and there is not a rough feeling like bark on a tree when you rub your hand across the tire, then that is just normal wear from the tire rolling and gripping when you take turns.

Edit: The point of all that is really to say that a half inch difference is not going be that much of a problem.

thx. I rotate every 5K along with the oil change. Overall I feel they are wearing faster then they should with the outer tread wearing the fastest

I just put these tires on about a month ago, 275/60/20. Just took my first road trip about 450 miles mostly highway, I feel like I can feel every crack and imperfections in the road. I feel it mostly in the floor and seat, it’s not terrible but noticeable. Is this just a trait of AT tires. They were road force balanced, tires are at 38 psi cold. It’s only really noticeable above 65mph

Ya.

Did you guys have problems with your readylift 1.5 leveling kit leaving the front an inch higher and the rear awaiting down an inch?

Wasn't a whole inch but I was just a tad bit nose-high. Used Revel links to bring the front down by about a quarter inch and I'm straight as an arrow now.

 

[Lurts]

Mine is also within a 1/4” and, for me, passes the eye test. I opted not to do any additional adjustments.

so since I haven’t put anything on yet, would the revel links do what I want without needing to buy the readylift leveling kit?

 

[Lurts]

Most people report that links alone cause the ride quality to suffer.
