Hey, excellent list, thank you.

Does anyone know a US dealer for these Toyo's?

All the US Toyo dealers I've found only carry a very limited line, haven't asked any about special ordering them yet.

thanks -

Leonard

Les Schwab carries the Open County A/T, so I'd start with them.

Theres a new Toyo Open Country HT coming
HT stands for Highway tread.
It has a similar tread but more agressive then the Michelin LTX M/S. I have a picture of the tire. I will try and resize it and put it in my gallery.

Toyo Tires® Announces All-New Open Country H/T™

for Light Trucks and SUV’s



CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA -- Toyo Tires® announces their all-new Open Country H/T™ (Highway Tread) for light trucks and SUV’s. The Open Country H/T™ is an attractive premium OE replacement tire that delivers exceptional mileage, has excellent all-around handling and offers a smooth, quiet ride.



The introduction of the new Open Country H/T™ represents a significant commitment to dealers and consumers. According to Travis Roffler, Director of Marketing, “Some thirty-three new tire sizes will be available shortly after the launch of the Open Country H/T™. This is one of the most comprehensive new product introductions ever for Toyo with replacement sizes applying to a broad range of late model light trucks and SUV’s.” Initial offerings will fit 15- to 18-inch diameter wheels, with 85- to 55-series tires ranging in widths from 215 to 275mm for a full range of P-Metric and LT-Metric sizes. In addition, Open Country H/T™ tires are rated as high as Load Range E to provide a proper load-rating index for today’s modern 1-ton pickups.



CASPAN™ (Computer-Aided Simulator for Pattern Noise) technology was utilized in the design of the Open Country H/T™ to ensure minimal tire noise during commuting and operation on the open highways. Unlike conventional tires, that become noisier with age, the Open Country H/T™ remains quiet throughout the life of the tire. Multi-Wave Sipes and angled tread blocks also reduce heal-and-toe wear, a factor that normally contributes to tread noise. In addition to reducing tread noise, the combination of angled tread blocks and Multi-Wave Sipes enhance the tire’s performance in wet and snow conditions. A wide, square tread with two deep circumferential main grooves, provides excellent stability in dry and wet environments.



The Open Country H/T™ provides superior ride comfort thanks to its high turn-up two-ply construction and continuous bead wire. Its twin steel belt construction, coupled with modern compounding and closed shoulder design ensures a long tire life. The Open Country H/T™ has a UTQG grading of 640 A A, indicating its high tread wear and excellent overall performance.



For more information and available sizes of the all-new Open Country H/T™ from Toyo Tires®, log onto toyo.com. Toyo manufactures and distributes a complete line of high performance and original equipment replacement tires for passenger car, light truck, commercial truck, bus, off-road and construction applications.
