Toyo Open Country WT review
The Toyo Open Country WT is widely regarded as a highly capable, durable mud-terrain tire that balances aggressive off-road performance with surprisingly refined on-road manners. While most users praise its longevity and traction in mud, snow, and rain, a minority of owners report issues with ride harshness and balancing, particularly on heavy-duty trucks.
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.
