Tires Toyo or Maxxis

Just got the Toyo Open Country RT Trails in LT 315 70R 17. Replaced my well worn Toyo AT IIs. They’re on my ‘17 JKU with 4 inch lift. I can tell you I hear no discernible difference from the AT IIs which had very little road noise either. The RTs feel great and look even better. I’ve not had them in the dirt yet but on pavement they’re excellent. I love them.

Toyo’s will balance better, but are a softer tread compound and will wear/chip quicker. Been having good luck with the Wildpeak’s here in Texas.

I’ve had Toyo OC, BFG TA/KO2+3, and went the FW AT4 now. Got about 9k on em…and they’re my favorite tire so far. Been on beach, mud, rain and frozen.

I am leaning toward my next set being Toyo GSI-6, for a few reasons. Namely, H speed rating (not that I go over the 104mph governed speed of a 2017 Prius Prime) and max pressure of 51psi rather than 44psi. I usually run at 50psi, and find tires only approved to 44psi to be only marginally acceptable to me.

Minion/Assegai/Dissector/High Roller/Shorty, they just work

Maxxis are expensive but consistently pretty good. You’ll get the odd tire with a warped casing. But overall pretty much anything they make is solid.

Good rubber. The quality and duro of the rubber and the casing is 90% of what makes a tire good. Good round tires that mount easily. Especially tubeless.

I lost 2-3 mpg. I went from stock to 285/70/17s Toyos OC AT2s.

15,000 KM after three blowouts. Changed them for some Toyo proxes tm1 225/45R18. So far so good, the ride feels way smoother and I don’t feel like I lost fuel economy.

On the gen 3 they lasted until 30k miles, on the gen 4, both cars made it to 25k before replacement was needed. They aren't the best.
