Toyo Open Country A / T III is a revolutionary, according to the manufacturer, all-terrain tire for SUVs, light trucks, and crossovers that provide reliable traction on rough terrain, as well as responsive and predictable behavior on paved roads. In addition, they are characterized by a high level of acoustic comfort, high wear resistance, and the possibility of all-season use.
The Toyo Open Country A / T III tires, created to replace the Open Country A / T II and possibly to some extent the Open Country A / T Plus, are released to the market in 2020. Their optimized and more aggressive tread pattern in tandem with a completely new rubber compound ensures good traction in various weather conditions, stable handling and quick braking on wet surfaces, a calm and comfortable ride, as well as resistance to cuts and chips, which is extremely important for All-Terrain tires.
The Toyo Open Country A / T III tread has more clearance for self-cleaning, which contributes to increased traction off-road, increased tread block stiffness for better directional stability and maneuverability, as well as preventing uneven wear.
The increased width of the lateral grooves increases the tire's grip on all surfaces, including snow. The 3D wavy sipes also increase wear resistance and help increase traction on snow and wet asphalt.
The increased off-road capability of Toyo III tires is due to the presence of staggered rigid shoulder blocks with many biting edges.
