Toyo Open Country Series — Which Tire Is Actually Right for You?
A straight breakdown of every Open Country tier, from daily-friendly all-terrain to full-send mud terrain.
If you're looking for a quality tire, Toyo is the way to go. We've run them on race cars, shop trucks, SEMA builds — and they keep earning our respect. The Open Country lineup covers a lot of ground (literally), and the right choice comes down to how you actually use your rig. Here's every tier, broken down honestly.
The Lineup
Every Open Country Tire, Broken Down
Ordered from most street-friendly to most trail-ready — because not every truck needs the same tire.
Toyo Open Country AT4
The bread-and-butter daily driver
This is the one we point most people to first. The AT4 is one of the best all-terrains on the market — smooth, quiet, and backed by a 65,000-mile warranty. You're not sacrificing off-road traction to get there, either.
- Rides smooth and quiet on the highway
- Solid off-road traction without going overboard
- 65,000-mile tread warranty — solid long-term value
- Our go-to recommendation for the daily driver crowd
Toyo Open Country RT Trail
More bite, no noise penalty
The RT Trail is one of two newer tires Toyo dropped to replace the original RT. More aggressive than the AT4, but none of the loud drone you get from a mud terrain. We actually ran this on our SEMA Bronco a couple years back and loved it — great mileage, still easy to daily drive, with a noticeably more aggressive look and sidewall.
- Stepped-up tread aggression over the AT4
- Aggressive sidewall styling — looks the part without going full mud
- Quiet enough to daily drive comfortably
- Really good off-road traction
- 45,000-mile warranty — still solid for the category
- Available in sizes designed for lifted truck applications
Toyo Open Country RT Pro
The MT's quieter big brother
Think of the RT Pro as the RT Trail's more aggressive big brother — closer to a mud terrain in terms of sidewall and off-road capability, but without going full-send. It's the latest and greatest in the aggressive-tire space for people who aren't ready to commit to a dedicated mud terrain. Still 45,000 miles of warranty. Still daily driveable. Just meaner.
- Heavily aggressive sidewall — visually closer to an MT
- Maximum traction for the non-MT crowd
- Still quieter and more civil than a true mud terrain
- 45,000-mile warranty carries over from the RT Trail
- Constantly expanding size lineup for lifted applications
Toyo Open Country MT
Maximum off-road, no compromises
The MT has been around for a while, but Toyo keeps refining it. If your vehicle is primarily an off-road rig and you need the toughest sidewall money can buy, this is the answer. Deep siping, aggressive sidewall tread, three-ply construction — the race version of this tire gets run down in Baja and at King of the Hammers for a reason.
- Three-ply sidewall for serious puncture resistance
- Deep siping for maximum off-road bite
- Aggressive tread on both the main face and sidewall
- Proven in race environments — Baja, King of the Hammers
- No mileage warranty, but comes with a satisfaction guarantee
- Continuously being improved — not a tire Toyo has stood still on
Honest take: These will hold up. But if your truck sees significant street time, step down to the RT Pro — the MT will eat miles on pavement and won't thank you for it.
Why Toyo
The Construction Difference Nobody Talks About
How Toyo builds their steel belting — and why it matters
One thing we've learned about Toyo tires over the years is the construction. Most manufacturers use one continuous piece of steel belting that runs all the way around the tire. The problem? They have to overlap it — and that overlap creates a heavy spot. That heavy spot means harder balancing, and over time, it means noise.
Toyo does it differently. They wrap the belting in a strip, and where the strip starts is exactly where it ends — no overlap, no heavy point, perfectly balanced from the factory. We've noticed this firsthand: when we pair Toyo tires with a quality set of wheels, they take very little counterweight to balance out.
The result:
- Balanced from the factory — not relying on counterweights to fix a manufacturing shortcut
- Quieter over the full lifespan of the tire
- Better long-term consistency — no degrading balance as miles accumulate
And yes — Toyo Open Country tires are made in America, out of their factory in Georgia. If that matters to you (it should), it's another reason to feel good about this lineup.
