Very good experience so far
In 2010 we bought a new Toyota VDJ76R Landcruiser Wagon GXL that came with Dunlop Grandtrek AT1.
On average we drove about 70% bitumen, 15% dirt road, 10% sand, mud, rock and 5% city.
The AT1 were OK on highway, gravel and sand and they felt average in mud. We had all five tyres rotated & balanced every six months and they lasted for 60k with lots of nicks but not a single flat tyre which is impressive considering the abuse they suffered. But the AT1 always felt as if they did not have enough grip, no matter if dry bitumen, gravel or wet road...Read more

look elsewhere
Fitted 2 a/t toyo and thought I was on a winner went back a year later for another 2 now the trouble starts. Decided to drive to a local waterhole down a gravel dirt road these must be a soft tyre a rock went straight through wow 180 bucks down. Then the newest one only a year old on the highway doing 100 the tread comes off like a retread. Got a claim going on this but cant explain why this happens with good tyres could of ended a lot worst if it was a front tyre. Will give Bridgestone Duelers a/t a go now.

Toyo Make Awesome 4WD Tyres
Forget the USA brands, they're crap, over-rated, overpriced, underperformers, Japanese rubber is best for Aussie outback conditions. Been running Toyo and Bridgestone on my 4WDs for over 20 years in a mix of nasty Outback, remote coast and city driving. Both brands get me 80K + kilometres before replacement with plenty of TWI left, but of the two Toyo is best. New OPAT2 is brilliant - quiet, steers impeccably and proving durable. Other reviewer saying Toyo chip... I say put your glasses on mate, you're blind, that's a Cooper sidewall you're looking at! Biggest mistake people make with their tyres is over-inflation! Check your placard, it doesn't lie!

Wrote the original review three years ago and since using that initial set I’ve now got them on three vehicles plus a couple of camper trailers. I wouldn’t have outlaid that coin if they were crap. St... Read more
ill durable - no failures, completely puncture-proof, tread faces good as new with no chipping or tearing, still grippy - no issues in wet weather like others have reported here, just fabulous all-round performance. I said it before people attributing failure to the tyre should take a look in the mirror because there’s the reason. I betcha poor reporting on this tyre is due to over inflation and driving too fast on crap surfaces. BTW my tyres get hammered not babied, travel all over Australia in pretty gnarly country plus big bitumen Kms too!

Appearance
Great looking tyre and feels very stable in the tight corners. Only fault is they have white writing on one side and even if you reverse them you still have to blacken then to stop visibility or until they age with dirt. Tyre wear is very good looks like these will do some serious miles.

Wow these are quiet
Just fitted set of toyo at2 open country 265/75r16 to my 2011 bt50,on the advice of a friend. I've been hunting for a decent set of Ats. Have tried Bridgestone ( do everything you want but wear too fast) Hercules ( good tyre but noisey as hell) coopers( throwing tread blocks no assistance from supplier or manufacturer) bf goodrich(cant get full wear out of them before they wear funny and become very noisey). I noticed with these tyres straight away directional stability great tyre, noise minimal, they look great on the vehicle, vehicle handling improved overall to the positive, doing gibb river next week will up date when back on off road ability and wear ability when back in months time with more kms on them but very impressed for now

Great tyre offfering good life
I replaced the original Dunlop Grandtreks on my 1997 80 Series Landcruiser with the Gen 1 Toyo Open Country's.
I work as a geologist and on a cross-country traverse, staked the sidewall of one of the new ones with only 10,000km on it in dreadful stick country, in completely off-road conditions where I reckon almost anything would be hard to put to pass unscathed, but after replacing that tyre due to serious wall damage, never had another problem, finally replacing them with 82,000 km on them and they had not quite word down to the bars.

I undertook detailed research search for replacement tyres and then discovered the newer Open Country Series 2. They've only been on for less than 5,000km so too early to comment, but they ride and steer better than the previous series and are even quieter. The price I finally secured after shopping around was very reasonable, at $279 ea fitted and balanced for 4 x $275/70 R16's, incl GST. I'll come back when I have more comments. Four stars for now, subject to outcomes.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Great wearing, reliable tyre with excellent grip on wet roads
I've got 2 of these tyres on my 2007 PJ Ford Ranger HiRider. When I bought them they were the only tyres I could get hold of late on a Saturday morning. I've been absolutely rapt with these tyres. I do 90% of my driving as general on road use with some paddock work(eg collecting firewood etc). I also regularly tow a horsefloat. They are the first tyre I've tried on this vehicle that actually have good grip on wet roads. So far these tyres have approximately 40 000km on them at 50-60% wear. In comparison I have Maxxis Bravo 700 AT on the rear of...Read more
this vehicle with around 38000km on them & they're looking to be replaced within the next month. I'm currently running stock 15" steel rims but I'm upsizing to a 16" alloy in the next week or two. I will definitely be using Toyos on the 16" rims. I've had one puncture in these tyres & that was caused by a roofing screw picked up somewhere in my travels. This could happen regardless of which brand of tyre you are running. Sorry I can't offer any advice regarding their off road capabilities. Value for money, reliable, good grip in the wetSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Expected better than 36,600 out of these tyres!!!
We were recommended these tyres by Tyre Zone. We mainly do highway and city driving and tow a caravan, boat and camper trailer and do an occasional bit of off road /4wd. They handled well and even got to the Cape and back (not the Old Telegraph Track) with only one puncture. We were told to expect about 50,000 klms at least out of them and we were disappointed to only get 36,600. We could have perhaps got a couple of 1000 more if we has let them go down to the wear markers. Can't believe others getting such high mileage out of them. We are older and steadier drivers so we weren't hooning around on them either.
Handling and ride
Poor wear. Expected and was told we would get more than 36,600 klms out of them!!!

Great wear
Had the A/T's for 145000 kms On all surfaces Had to buy new tyres so I checked on my invoice for how long and how many kms they had done. To my surprise 145k and 6yrs so it wasn't a hard choice for my next set. Who needs Coopers for wear and tear when you can get Toyo for a lot less $$$
Quiet,cheap,wear and tear

Get a Grip
My 80 series landcruiser needed new boots, after reviewing the current options, based on my usage and cost I decided on the Toyo AT. Given that I am 80% on sealed roads and highway i needed a tyre that could handle some off road and was quiet on highways. So far they performed at least as well as the Grandtrek off road and much better on road. The handling has improved and the ride is excellent, and best of all they are quiet. If you own a similar vehicle and have similar usage, I would recommend having a close look at a set of these. Might save you a few dollars as well.
Handling, grip, ride comfort, quiet running, cost.
Nothing comes to mind.

Outstanding Tyres
I have nothing bad to say about there tyres.
I had the Open County A/T's on my 3 litre Nissan Patrol for 94,250 kms and there was still tread on them......I'm not kidding.
I use my vehicle for some 4 wheel driving on weekends but mainly towing my work trailer 5 days a week.

I have done only 7000km and the OPATS are looking for a new home... I have had 3 flats, two on road 1 off road caused by dirt getting between rim and tyre bead I'm told this normally happens if the tyre is deflated too much or if the side walls are soft in construction, The second is most likly as I was running 32psi on lime stone / gravel. paid $230- a tyre to replace Mickey Thompsons on my Grand Cherokee as I could not wait the 4 weeks for the Mickey's to get into the country. I have since ordered the MT equivelent (WILDCATS) made by MT as I ...Read more
have had them before. I would rate the TOYO's 2 /10 being kind. I dont understand how TOYO got it soooo wrong when they make some fantastic passanger, Luxury and sports tyres. just goes to prove that you cant rely on a brand alone, do your research on equivilent products and cars that you have. Cheers... Cheap and OK on Sand. Nice looking side walls and agresive looking AT tread. easliy punctured due to soft walls and tread. Poor resistance to shoulder ware, poor tread ware evedent within 7000km not a good tyre choice when running a detroit locker as the tread chips easliy with the excessive pressure on the inside wheel when turning. I will not rotate these as the rears will be spent after ~18000k due to the diff lock even on a full time FWD. front tyres will have about 2/3 tread left at time of replacement.Similar opinion?

We almost finished our latest round. The tires now have about 15K on them and they look a bit abused which is fair because they were.
and driving at Cape Leveque, pointy stone dirt roads around the Gibb river road and also some really sharp stones in a river bed in Gregory NP. Lots of different types of dirt roads, a few river crossings and some very smooth rock surfaces. We did some 130kph highway driving in NT and finished it off with curvy and very wet roads in the Atherton tableland.The Great Central road was partially very muddy, there was soft s... Read more
