Toyo Open Country A/T?

In the LT245/75R16 E size...

Anyone know anything about these tires?

Better than the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO?

The Toyo Open Country A/T are a lower quality tire, expect about 40k out of them.
A better choice for a little more money is the new Toyo H/T. This tire was designed for better mpgs on pickups and is availible in most sizes.

Thank you, but I'm looking for an all-terrain tire.

My father has had several sets of Toyo Open Country A/T's on his Powerjoke. He tips the scales at 10200 without his 5'er and has never gotten less than 60K out of them. The current set has about 38K and they are starting to dry rot, but that is because he hasn't been driving the PJ much in the past three years.

I would go with the All Terrains. The all terrains have much better durability and feature a triple construction sidewall so they are pretty thick. Also the all terrains have a nifty rim gaurd feature to prevent damage to your rims when off roading.

I had a set of 285's D-range on my 01. Were shot at 29k, this was with rotations and air checks by LesSchwabs every 3000. I wouldnt buy another set without a milage warranty. 99% of the time my truck was empty, no haulding no towing. Did see a few miles on gravel roads during hunting season though.

They were great tires for handling and performance in most all conditions though.
