  1. Thanks for the channel. Really enjoying it. I have a Hilux Sr5. I will be heading to the Kimberley and Cape Leveque in July (towing a camper trailer); doing the Holland track In August (swag). My tyres are nearly 4 years old ( on since new). Looking for an AT to replace the HT’s. Any recommendations are very welcome. Thanks.

  2. BFG I'm sure , old mate from south Africa is running a set at the moment in the centre, they are looking like the goods
    , can't wait to fit a set, properly due for..

  3. Why don't you guys buy rims with bead locks if you deflate your tires to take advantage of your tires side wall tread?

  4. Nice one Ronnie. Hey, if you have 4+2 spare (6total) tires to rotate, what's the plan??

  5. Ya, I thought BFG KM3's off the top of my head. I always like watching these videos because your not one of those guys pushing some brand or some company on people.

  6. I have only just replaced my 285/75 /16 open country MT's with the same on my 80 series I only got 103k😁 out of them and they were severely punished with three four week trips one including the cape via the OTT and Frenchman's track towing a 1500kg camper trailer one of the other trips included Sturt's stony desert if one would like to test their tyres try that towing a camper, as for on road fantastic can not fault them.
    Nice review👍👌

  7. I ran those on my F350, and I agree with all your points, except they did not perform well in mud at all. I've had a couple different brands of all-terrain tires that performed much better than the Toyo MT's did in the mud. I won't run them again, because of this.

  8. My Open Country M/T’s wore prematurely due to worn out shock absorbers. I had to replace both the tires and the shock absorbers.

  9. I did not realy understand, why the Open Country does not work so good in the sand…..because of it‘s sidewall profile …?

  10. Also, totally different experience with Nitto Trailer Grapplers on my brothers Ford vs Toyos on my Ram 2500. His Nittos were much louder on the open road and wore out irregularly quick. My Toyo MTs are as about as quiet as some ATs I've used and have been wearing quite evenly and predictable. With a heavier truck like the Ram 2500 the stiff sidewalls are necessary, and I can run lower pressures.

  11. Thanks for this review. I am almost through my 2nd set of Toyo MTRs (285/75-18) on my Ram Diesel I get about 40,000 miles on them. I am looking at trying out a set of the Maxxis Razr's next. Thanks for that review as well. Thinking about stepping up to a 37×12.50 also. Thanks for all the awesome videos Ronny! IG @ Built4Xploration

  12. Hi Ronny. I got same tire size on my 3300kg 75 troopy. Bff KM3. I'm thinking change them to 255/75/16 toyo. Fuel consumption, steering and bearings stredd are my concerns. Too thin or enough? All kinds of driving mainly

  13. Despite the hype I've had nothing but trouble with Toyos. I really HAVE to stop getting advice from tyre retailers, they have no idea! Sailun Terramax for me, twice as good as Toyos for half the price.

  14. try running 10 psi. in your spare you will find less damage. i have a spare that is 4.5 years old and still looks new

  15. I usually run lkumho M/T’s they are discontinued I called discount tire they have toyo M/T and R/T’s I’m thinking on the M/T it will cost me mounted and balanced $1,500.00

  16. Thanks for giving your honest impression in various conditions without all of the rambling other people do! It was super informative and one of the better ones I’ve seen for sure.

  17. Great vid as always Ronny & love seeing Molly as I have a Ridgeback as well (Ranger 😉 over here in the states! I'm in between putting these, the Yoko MT 003's, or the KM3's on my Silverado. Of the 3, which would you run? Thanks!

  18. These toyos are crap in mud. The video shows “mud”…. Here in Colombia those are normal roads. Put those in real mud conditions and they are really terrible no matter the car the pilot or how low pressure you go. Here everybody calls them “meatoyo” (I get stuck) jajajjajjaa

  19. Great explanation @ronny dahl
    BTW what is your shockbreaker? OME, Toughdog, Ironman, Profender etc?
    Why you dont use badlock in your tire?

    I have Pajero Sport Dakar 2015 with Maxxis Bravo AT980

  20. Ronny if you had to make the choice and buy the same brand of tyre for life which would it be …Straight up no beating about the bush

  21. I just gashed the sidewall on my Trxus m/t, and I mostly Offroad where I smash brush and small trees, cutting my own trails with a chainsaw and destroying every body panel on my Jeep. I need the toughest sidewall I can get.
    Is this tire going to do that? I don’t care about pavement with this vehicle, I only drive into town for gas and I go the speed limit or less.
