Just wrapped up an 850 mile road trip on the new Toyo AT’s actually. Sorry for the delay. The tires are by far the best AT I’ve had and I’ve tried damn near every one of them. They’re quiet at all speeds, I didn’t lose gas mileage at all (even going up 2 sizes from stock), light, and the snow performance on them is incredible. I had falken wildpeak AT3W on a 2008 GX couple years back that I thought was the best snow tire in the AT segment, but the Toyo’s blow them away. We got 8 inches of dense snow last week and I had zero problems on hard pack or powder. Slush no issues either. Tested it on dirt/gravel and it’s great too. Still want more beef on the sidewalls. Flipping it would only result in white lettering. No extra beef over there. That’s on the G2 Terra Grappler, which I’ve run and didn’t like, so wasn’t a choice here. Overall, these tires keep surprising me. Will be running them on sand down here in FL this week too to test out.
for the E rated vs D rated tire debate-guys: this is definitely a “less E-rated-feeling tire”. I think it drives better than my D rated KO2. Kept checking my MPG on the drive south and I was averaging 15.8 doing 80mph with wife, two kids, two dogs (labs), plus 250 lbs in a Thule pod on the roof. Thing was completely loaded with weight and with the tires I was thinking I’m screwed on mpg but was surprised. Comfortable ride as well.
Cheers
