315 Toyos

[CreeperSleeper]

Just thought I would give you guys some input, I bought a set of 315 Toyo Open Country M/Ts and 16x8 "rock crawler" wheels. I didn't have them balance the tires (as I usually knock the weights off anyway) and I must say, those are some true tires! They actually rode better than my Trxus after they were balanced! And let me tell you, these tires are great off-road. In the few spots that I know I need to run my lockers, I was able to walk up unlocked. I was really impressed. Just thought you guys would like to know.

Thanks for the feedback. Many of us are always looking at tires - whether we need them or not!

Where do you rub? I have the same tires and Js and I rub slightly in the rear on the flare. But I run wheels with more offset.

I love these tires! I'm a little concerned about longevity though.

i rub in the front rear wheel wells, at the bottom, where the mud flap would be if it were there.

Can you compare them to the trxus in all conditions you've encountered so far? I run trxus because they are so good in the snow, and I'm always wary of losing that capability, but as we know, Interco tires aren't the most round things out there.

If the Toyos can compare in the snow they'd go to the top of my list.

Nay

Yes, I'm sure that they are J's all the way around. I am flare and mud flap free. I'm rubbing on the upper inside of the rear fender well. Not bad, just enough to leave marks. However, I am not running a rear sway-bar and I have not lowered my bumpstops.

Of course! So far it's just be dry, powdery dust and rock. As far as I could see, they did the same or better in that terrian. On the street, they are better. I can't wait to try them in snow. I will be glad to give you an update on them as I try them in more conditions.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my Trxus and I'm still running them on the Jimmy.

my toyo MT on stock rims do not rub the fender flares in the rear as i thought they would. i have OME HD springs. the truck has a fair amount of tools in the back along with a heavy home made bumper and the outback drawer system. the pics are bad as they were taken with my phone but i think you can see that one tire, the drooping one is barely touching the ground and the stuffed one is not rubbing the wheel well or fender flare. it could be rubbing on the inside but i could not tell.

oh yeah, the sway bar was still connected

Good to know. The more I wheel with these tires, the more I like them. Mine rub, but I think it's more because both lower control arms are bent and I never adjusted the panhard...
