On Verge of Buying Toyo's--thoughts?

Went to the best place in town for tires and they had a Toyo Open Country MT in stock size--265/70/17.

Thinking about putting them on my stock wheels.

Can I get some feedback on this idea please?

If it was me, I'd put on 285's instead. The Toyo is a good tire.

Re: On Verge of Buying Toyo's--thoughts?

Great tires that are highly rated. I just passed them over when I bought tires this week though because in the size I wanted they are 10lbs/tire heavier than my next brand choice.

In stock size the difference might be less.

One of the best tires. As Uphill said, go with 285s.

Re: On Verge of Buying Toyo's--thoughts?

I'll "third" the opinion....285. Definitely.

Toyo is a great brand and very good tires. You are not going wrong. My plans are for the Hankook equivalent in 285. I had a really good conversation with the Hankook rep at SEMA and I am sold on them.

Thank you all for your responses. I'm running stock now so will the 285 fit without any issues...as far as rubbing and such? I have no lift. If they will fit, heck, I'd definately do the 285's.

They should fit. I don't hear too many people with rubbing issues-even without a lift.

Re: On Verge of Buying Toyo's--thoughts?

MNFJ, I ran those Toyo MT's for about three months and loved them. They were great on- and off-road. I recently put on BFG all-terrains just because my 33" Toyos were too heavy at 75 bls each!

The Toyos look great and are excellent for what they are made for. I just chose to shed some weight and get back the softer ride with all-terrains.
