RRP: POA WE SAY: Durable, reliable all-rounder.
WHEN we went looking for some tougher tyres for our 2017 Nissan Patrol that’d be more dependable for off-road work, the good folks at Toyo came up with something special: they had a set of yet-to-be-released tyres and they asked us not to show anyone, even after they were fitted. They’ve been released for a few months now and we’re more than happy with the performance of our Toyo Open Country R/Ts.
The Open Country R/Ts fill in a gap between traditional All Terrain (A/T) and Mud Terrain (M/T) tyres available for offroaders. In Toyo’s case, the R/T slots in between its Open Country A/TIIs and the Open Country M/T tyres. As one might expect of a product that sits between two existing products, the R/T is a hybrid of styles, blending the best attributes of both the A/TII and M/T.
