Toyo Open Country C/T Tire Review & Rating

The Toyo Open Country C/T is an on-road and off-road commercial grade tire that is designed to provide the strength, durability, handling and traction required by this type of all-terrain tire. Built for use on a wide range of light trucks and 4×4’s, this sturdy tire is able to overcome many different off-road situations and at the same time, provide a comfortable ride on the road.

Toyo uses a tougher cut and chip resistance compound, 3-ply construction and unique deeper tread grooves to ensure that these tires give you the traction and performance required in most off-road driving conditions. A stronger sidewall, sturdy buttress, and dual angle shoulder blocks improve the traction of these tires even more, especially when you drive through mud, sand or dirt.

Deeper siping and open notches combine together, which aid with traction on wet pavement, as well as deeper amounts of snow. The Toyo Open Country C/T is also pinned for studs and is branded with the 3-peak mountain snowflake symbol, which means it’s meets the standards for severe winter service.

Toyo offers 16-20 inch LT and flotation sizes, to go with an E load rating. A limited warranty is also provided.

Pros

• Excellent off-road traction on gravel, dirt, rocks and mud
• Tread life
• Excellent dry handling

Cons

• Struggles on ice and snow despite having mountain/snowflake emblem

Overall Thoughts

The Toyo Open Country C/T tire is a model that is somewhat similar to the BFG T/A KO2 in that it’s a durable, rugged and aggressive looking tire.

Its unique tread compound, advanced tread features and ability to self-clean, not only provides for a longer tread life, but it gives drivers the traction, grip and handling you need in a variety of different on-road and off-road conditions.

On the negative side, some owners have not been impressed with the way this tire performs on ice and on snow, even though they feature the 3-peak mountain snowflake symbol. For whatever reason this tire struggles with ice and hard-packed snow when it comes to braking and acceleration.

Overall, the Toyo C/T is engineered to meet most of the demands of today’s light trucks and 4×4 owners. Although it can struggle in icy conditions, it does deliver solid performance for the most part.
