I've been running Toyo tires on all my cars for years and still do. Now, I want a set of A/TIII and while they do produce the exact size I need, they don't sell them in Europe. In fact the importer of Toyo in Denmark told me this morning, June 2024, that Toyo just shut down their factory in Europe... He said that Toyo are in fact pulling out of the European market. So bad news. Falken doesn't make their proper A/T in my size so I am left with the many year old BFG K02 as the new K03 is also not made in my size... Come on Toyo, I've been using tons of your tires for years and years. Get back in Europe and sell us some good tires! If you Toyo read this, you can talk to the Danish importer of Toyo, and they will know who I am, and have my contact details, in case you want to sell me the good stuff. Until then, I am pretty disappointed over Toyo's moves. Cheers.

Hey I know this video is old now and I’d like to let you know. Having had the AT2’s and now having the AT3’s on my FJ Cruiser they’ve both been awesome set of tires. Out of my AT2’s we got almost 90k miles and then switching to the AT3’s they’re now going on 50k still going strong I’m gonna get another set soon. Only complaint if you can call it that is they’re starting to dry rot otherwise they’ve been great tires on and off road. We’ve used both sets for off-roading & never had any issues. Great set of tires TOYO. Keep up the great work!

Glad you are enjoying your AT3's and your FJ. Back in the day, I was the lucky one who drove the first pre-production (prototype) through the Rubicon in 2006, before the launch in 2007. Best rig ever IMO. Anyway, I would recommend that you rotate often and when it comes to dry rot, I have also encountered this condition. Not ideal but keeping them conditioned and out of the elements is best if you can. I would also give the RT Trail a try next time. I liked them a bit better after testing the two. Cheers Joe

@sanddrifterjb 8 ай бұрын
I think you should re-check your balance of the tires. It maybe a wheel issue as well. My experience with run-out on the Toyo and Nitto brands are far superior than other brands like BFG. Toyo uses a specific manufacturing process (updated) compared to BFG. I have had mounted and balanced both brands many times and the Toyo's use a small amount of weights, where the BFG's take a lot to get them to zero out. Hope that helps Joe

They could be on to a winner!Fun commuting for everyone!in my opinion to succeed with this idea they need to: 1. Have 4 wheels instead of three, and add abs, anti-slip traction control for wet roads. 2. Driving position needs to be more lying down in order to take that high roof line down and it will give better stability as bonus. 3. Needs to be a 2 seater minimum, becaue scooters, bikes are 2 seaters. 4. Top speed need to go up from 45,60 km/h to atleast 110km/h. With sexy EV standout acceleration. 5. Range minimum 150km wltp. 6. Price maximum 15-20.000 dollar/euro. I will book 2, and park them on my 1 car parking spot. thank you very much. 😎

@sanddrifterjb 2 жыл бұрын
I appreciate your feedback, but 100% disagree on the best location for rock crawling. I have destroyed a number of OE exhaust systems that either hang too low or exit in a not so ideal location over the years. If you back up in a rock section, especially on steep hill climbs, damage to the exhaust is likely. Two things usually happen. 1. The mud flap get ripped off from reverse direction rubbing against the rock and tire. 2. Exhaust touches the rock and gets damaged before the tire gets traction. Take a look at some rock crawl rig builds, no exhaust is visible if correctly routed. Cheers!

When it came to new cold testing however, they had good initial yaw response and directness but was more non linear and much more harsh then most of the competitors. Very firm side wall stiffness feel.

Use case is 95% pavement with the balance on gravel roads and no towing. Do you think I would be better served by these OC AT3’s over something like BFG’s new trail terrain T/A or similar “trail” tires?
@sanddrifterjb 2 жыл бұрын
Glad you found what you were looking for. As for the LX570 goes, I have a lot of miles in that 200 series. Amazing vehicle. Anyways, I would absolutely go with the AT3 Toyo over the BFG. I tested both in comparison and, although I raced for BFG for years and love the brand, they are not ideal when it comes to the K02. Not sure on the new Trail Terrain? The K02 are great the first 6 months then they start to really change. They get hard and noisy. The AT3 is IMO a better all around tire, especially from a pattern noise side. As for the AT3, as long as you rotate often they will wear well and stay quiet! hope that helps. I would also probably go with the LT since the LX isn't the lightest SUV on the market. The LT looks a way better from the larger side wall lugs then the P-Metric too. Cheers
