Toyo Open Country Q/T Reviews

These tyres ride well and grip okay in the dry. They are very noisy at 55 to 75 Km/h. Wet grip is not so good, but vehicle is all wheel drive so that compensates somewhat. Wouldn't recommend for a luxury SUV due to the noise they make. Won't buy again and will most likely replace them soon for that reason.

This is my second review on these tyres, now at 30,000km. They would appear to be wearing exceptionally well and I imagine that they will last many KMs more. Why I would never buy them again is the ride. They feel like they have an extra 6 PSI in them over what is normal. The NVH / Bump / Thump is horrible. We nearly always ride on semi rural bitumen roads, and the car has now developed rattles and squeaks that it never had before. You can feel / hear ever bump in the road.... I love the long life wear, reasonably OK for noise, but as far as NVH, I would never buy these again. Possibly, if you have an older 4WD, these maybe a good choice, but not in a top of the range Jeep Grand Cherokee. At the time, I was tossing up with the Pirellis and now so regret my decision.

I’ve done 70k and probably have another 5k tread left easy. I tow a boat or caravan a lot. I’ve have no trouble using dirt boat ramps or launching from lake banks, just need to choose the right ground. Very quiet and comfortable on the road. Will get these tyres again for sure .

The tread depth on these tyres is amazing. With frequent rotations every 10,000km at every service, I expect these tyres to last for a long time. They are very quiet, even on coarse chip surfaces. However, I do notice a slight harmonic hum on smooth surfaces between 60 - 75km/hr. It may only be that they are new tyres and that may disappear as the tread blocks wear in. It's only slight and my Wife has not commented, so she probably doesn't notice. The only thing is that they do ride firmer than the KL33 Crugens that they replaced. It feels as if you have an extra couple of PSI in each tyre. It could be that the side walls on the Crugens were too soft and that is why we had side wall splitting issues and also staked one through the side wall from a dog bone on the driveway (see seperate review of the Crugens). Overall, happy with them for now, but time will tell.

They are horrible in the wet, I can't set off without spinning the tyres unless I drive like a 90 year old
