toyo tires

Have a look at Post 12428.

I haven't experienced them myself, but I understand that they are a pretty good all-rounder, handle very well on road and reasonably good off road.

When I replaced tires on the pathy, I looked at them side by side with Coopers ST, BFG AT, Pirelli Scorpions, and OPATs... And in that order was the aggressiveness of them.

The OPAT which I had read on here had a brilliant reputation as a bulletproof tire for bush travel on small/med 4b's is one reason why I looked at them.

IMHO they were nothing more than a HT(Highway terrain).. Very poor if they were a AT. Bit dissappointing really, specially for the terrain around the club property where it would get used most.

Went for the Pirellis in the end, while they are no BFG or Coopers, I couldn't get either of them in the size I wanted!

What sort of driving do you intend to do with them? 75/25 touring/road? etc..

Toyo OPATS have performed magnificently on our 1990 Range Rover. We bought them prior to our "big" trip (>8500k)

Townsville-Winton- Innamincka via Planet Downs Arrabury and Nappa Merrie-Cameron Corner via Bore Track- Blanchewater via Strzelecki- Arkaroola (one very unlucky flat here due to super sharp thumb sized rock)- Leagh Creek- Maree- Muloorina-William Creek- Coober Pedy- Painted Desert- Oodnadatta- Marla - Uluru - Alice Springs- Rainbow Valley- Finke- Mt Dare- Simspon via WAA- Rig- Knolls- K1 -QAA- Birdsville- Diamantina Lakes- Bedourie- Boulia- The Monument- Cloncurry-Townsville. The Arkaroola flat was the only one we got, running 30psi on gibbers and 18 psi in Simspon desert.

Plus numerous 4wd club trips, and Cape York. We got one more flat on Cape York becasue I was too lazy to get out and let the tyres down and we were doing 100kph (and I am one who lectures others about correct pressures LOL)

The tyres have been great. I would buy them again tomorrow, but these aren't even close to worn out yet. They've probably done close to 15000k now, maybe more, I cant remember what K we had when we put them on.

Cheers

I've got Opats on the Jerry Can. Seem to work as well as any other A/T's. Nothing brilliant in mud. Shoulder lugs are just good enough to get some grip in mud by wiggling the steering wheel, therefore better than H/T's. Quite quiet on road and are reputed to wear very well.

I'll let you know how they go is sand after the Robe trip in two weeks.

Cheers,

Jim.

had them on the patrol for awhile now, comming up to 60k. tyre guy reckons i got about another 25-30k to go.
great on the highway, great offroad for an A/T. run them at 36psi on bitumen.
as low as 8 when i got real bogged the other weekend up near Wedge (had the camper on the back). have not had a problem on gravel-rock-sand,,,,,,just let me down abit in some real gloopy mud. will be getting them again when these ones wear out.
