Treadwear. These tires have a 45,000 miles treadwear warranty. With a warranty like that, you best believe Toyo is standing behind these tires. Having just crossed the 10,000-mile mark, you might think a good chunk of the tread was already worn down.
Whether you’re on the highway or traversing over rough patches of terrain, the Toyo Open Country A/T II tires will give you the confidence to forge ahead.
What does Toyo RT stand for?
R/T stands for “rugged terrain,” and in the off-road world, it represents a tire that slots between a mud-terrain (M/T) tire and an all-terrain (A/T) tire. The new Toyo Open Country R/T Trail is a tire that looks like an aggressive M/T but provides more of the driving performance found in an A/T.
How long do Toyo Open Country RT last? – Related Questions
Are RT tires noisy?
“ARE THEY LOUD?” Road noise is typically the initial topic of conversation in off-road tire discussions. Some tires roar, others hum and the best produce an auditory whisper. In regards to excessive noise with the Open Country R/Ts, there’s none.
Are RT tires good on road?
R/T Rugged-Terrain Tires
All R/T tires have the M+S mud and snow rating and some also have the coveted three peak mountain snowflake advanced snow rating, making them a great choice for vehicles that see street use, icy roads and unimproved snow and mud covered trails.
Can I use MT tires on the road?
Can You Use Mud Tires on the Street? Yes, many mud tires are street legal and can be driven on the road while traveling highway speeds. But just because you can do something, doesn’t mean it’s always the best option.
Are RT tires good in snow?
The RT has an M + S rating which means that it is an all season tire that also meets Rubber Manufacture Association for mud and snow.
What does MT mean in tire?
MT – means Mud Terrain. This is the ultimate off road tyre with aggressive tread design to go against rocky surfaces like unpaved roads. Almost the tyres are performing better for off road or unpaved road like farms, mountains or rural area.
Are MT tires good for highway?
Yes, they can be used on the highway and your daily commute, but they shine brightest when clawing through rocks, dirt, mud, and muck. However, what makes them good at off-roading makes them less-than-adequate for packed snow and ice-covered roads. Additionally, M/T tires have deep tread and reduced surface area.
Consequently, all terrain tires have a greater rolling resistance than their pavement-bound counterparts. They also have a larger effect on fuel economy. The consensus is that on average, all-terrain tires decrease fuel economy by about 3% compared to highway tires.
Do mud tires get worse gas mileage?
Decreased fuel economy.
Additional energy is required to motivate that bulky mud-terrain tread to get (and keep) rolling, and so a drop in fuel economy is almost inevitable. Test data demonstrates that a ~3% drop in fuel economy is possible when comparing all-terrain tires to all-season truck/SUV tires.
Do tires wear faster on highway?
Driving at high speeds may make you feel the thrill of an adrenaline rush, but it will also wear down your tires and your car faster. At high speeds, your tires will generate a great deal of friction with the road, as well as very high heats.
What wears down tires the most?
Two common causes of early tire wear out and irregular tire wear are improper inflation pressure and out-of-spec alignment conditions.
Do bigger tires slow you down?
Large tires further add weight and limit the movement of your drivetrain. These slow down your vehicle’s acceleration and reduces its maximum speed. The increase in height, while helpful, also makes a car less stable. Overall, you end up with poor handling.
Do tires last longer if you drive slower?
Higher driving speeds cause more heat to build up in the rubber, breaking down the tire more quickly than at slower speeds. Similarly, taking turns at slower speeds and avoiding skidding on turns also helps the tire last longer.
The faster your drive, the more friction you expose the tires to, and the faster they get worn. And the same goes with harsh terrain, as they place more stress on the tires, shortening their lifespan.
Should you always buy 4 tires at a time?
It’s always best to replace all 4 tires at the same time. This is because all 4 tires spin independently of one another, and different tread depths and/or styles can cause them to spin at different speeds. That could potentially damage the drive train, and possibly affect an indirect TPMS system if the vehicle has one.
