New Member Intro - LC250 (2 Viewers)

[KWLC250]

Hi all... New Member Intro post incoming... Just picked up my Trail Dust 2025 Land Cruiser two weeks ago and I'm loving it! Only addition right now is a Triple-color TRD grill badge. Currently eyeing the CBI Off-road rock sliders, a set of TRD Pro Wheels and some more aggressive tires than the Michelin LTX tires that came on the factory 18's. I'm going to do a search after this... but since I'm posting the intro thread anyway... is anyone running the Toyo Open Country AT3 EV tires? Specifically the EV version of the AT3s.

Have to ask the obvious... why the EV version of the A/T III?

I honestly miss my Michelin LTX tires. Had them on my 200 and went to a BFG a/t a few years ago

Only because they weigh so much less than the non EV version. 53lbs vs 43lbs in 275/70/18.

Looking to save as much of the MPGs and ride characteristics/performance as possible. In a 275/70/18 the Nitto Ridge Grapplers (my first choice) weigh 21 lbs more each than the Michelin LTX Trails. I'm guessing that will have a significant impact on the hybrid LC250's performance. I could shed a few MPGs, but don't want the truck to feel sluggish. The Toyo OC AT3 EV's are the lightest option at only 43 lbs each (just a 5 lbs increase from the Michelin's).

Welcome to Mud!

You might have bought your Trail Dust LC on the same day we bought ours!

Check out the General Grabber A/TX, I went with that in 275/70/18 SL load rating. According to their website they weigh 45.5lbs

Also, welcome fellow Floridian - hope to explore the Keys someday!

Are you happy with the General Grabbers? I'd never heard of that brand until coming across it on a list of tires people are running on the LC250.

Can't speak to off road performance, but I am pleased with them. Rides quiet and smooth
