Toyo Open Country A/T III EV review
The Toyo Open Country A/T III is widely regarded as a versatile, high-performing all-terrain tire that balances daily road manners with capable off-road traction. While most users praise its quiet highway ride and durability, a subset of owners reports inconsistent experiences regarding wet-weather grip and persistent balancing issues.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews on retailer and review sites; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

The Toyo Open Country A/T III is widely regarded as a versatile, high-performing all-terrain tire that balances daily road manners with capable off-road traction. While most users praise its quiet highway ride and durability, a subset of owners reports inconsistent experiences regarding wet-weather grip and persistent balancing issues.
Pros
- Impressive off-road capability in mud, sand, and rocky terrain.
- Surprisingly low road noise for an aggressive all-terrain tread pattern.
- Strong towing stability and load-carrying capacity for heavy-duty trucks.
- Excellent longevity and tread wear when properly maintained and rotated.
- Effective performance in snow and winter conditions.
Cons
- Reports of inconsistent wet-weather traction, particularly on freshly rained-on surfaces.
- Persistent balancing issues for some users, leading to vibrations at highway speeds.
- Some users find the tire compound too stiff or harsh for daily driving, particularly on lighter vehicles.
- Occasional reports of premature tread wear on specific vehicle applications.
Worth knowing
- EV owners (e.g., Rivian R1T) noted that while the tire is efficient and quiet for an A/T, the weight and stiffness can negatively impact ride comfort and range.
- Heavy-duty truck owners (F350, Ram 2500) emphasize the importance of using the 'chalk test' to determine correct tire pressure to prevent uneven center-tread wear.
- Jeep and SUV owners noted that choosing the correct load rating (C vs. E) is critical to balancing off-road sidewall strength with on-road ride comfort.
