It was a tease. The tire isn't mounted yet. Just rolled up next to my truck. It's a 285/55/22. Hoping Thursday is the day I get them mounted.

Sound is no. Existent going down the road. Need more miles to give a real review. But noise and looks so far are from me.
How did you like your Toyo open country R/TS? I, too, want something that looks aggressive, with minimal road noise. Best I've found is the toyos, fallen at3ws, and nitto ridge grappler G2. Preferably, id like to also have a mileage warranty. The nitto ridge grapplers look really good but don't have one...have you tried the Toyo open country AT IIIs? If so, how was your experience?I'm still happy with them. First, I should say I'm a BFG AT K02 lover. Those tires are my high bar. In the last 6 years, I've run 3 sets of BFG K02's, Falken Wildpeak AT3W's, Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's, Continental Terrain Contact's, Toyo Open Country R/T's, and Toyo Open Country Muds (those came on a truck I bought and were quickly sold). Clearly I have a tire issue. I usually swap them out once a year to try something new, change the look on my truck. I don't like loud tires, but I do like an aggressive looking tire.
As for the Maxxis, I still love the way this tire looks. There is added road noise. No surprise there, but it's not excessive. If you want a tire quiet like stock go with the Continental's. These tires seem to make "noise" at around 40-45mph. They are smooth on the highway. Although at 65mph, I was getting a vibration and had to have a tire rebalanced. After that I was good to go.
Awesome, thanks for the reply! Any comparison on road noise between these and the AT3 XLT's? I have also heard the continentals are great for road noise, just never looked at these in person to see how aggressive they actually are. I too like an aggressive sidewallI'm still happy with them.

Sorry to bring this post back up almost a year later but wanted to check in and see how you are liking the MAXXIS A/T now and if you still have them on. I found them online for just over $100 a tire 35x12.5r22 right now!!! i'm very tempted to replace my super loud venom power M/T with these maxxis R/T if they will be much quieter.... especially for $450 for a set!!The AT3's are quieter. They're a very nice riding tire. The Maxxis are more aggressive overall (tread and sidewall) The Continentals are the the tamest of the bunch, but they are more aggressive than stock for sure.
Do you care to share where that deal is? I will order them right now. Are you sure that's not per tire?Sorry to bring this post back up almost a year later but wanted to check in and see how you are liking the MAXXIS A/T now and if you still have them on.
