Toyo Open Country AT3 245/70r17

[Deleted member 6544]

Thank you appreciate it! Yeah this toyo has been great! Minimal road noise, great on rain, but I still have to test it on snow this year

Oh they're awesome in the snow. I wasn't even in 4x during a storm in Buffalo in my Wrangler and it just pulled right thru heavy wet stuff and fluffy snow on the highway getting there.
This is at my house last winter.

Yeah, I’m leaning to that color as well. Thanks.

Just got my Toyo Open Country AT3’s 245/70/17 Factory wheels Lariat FX4

This truck has earned my respect. It’s useful and economical as a daily. I really do like it

Vehicle looks great what are you getting for mpg and what is the height and width of the tires?

Do you like them better than the KO2?
I’ve always had KO2s and have loved them.

Thanks. Right now it’s 22mpg in the city, about 25 on the highway. The height of the tires I think it’s about 31 inch and width is 245. The tire setup is 245/70/17

The factory tires were Firestone Destination II. I wanted larger tires is why I went with the Toyos

It does look incredible, I am also a service manager. It sounds like he told you what you wanted to hear, with no intent of honoring it.
I will tell that if you come into almost any Ford dealership and you have installed oversized tires, not listed on tire size plack, if anything is wrong with suspension or power train it more than likely will not be covered. Service managers are taught to look for reasons to deny warranty work, so that's an easy kill. No I'm not being fun just trying to prevent a headache down the road. I encourage all of my customers to wait until the warranty runs out.
Maguson-Moss Act?

 

[Lorenrn]

Thanks, appreciate the advice. I hope he’ll keep his word like what he did to my mustang.

Maguson-Moss Act?

What kinda fuel economy are you getting now?
thinking of doing this with a leveling kit.

After few weeks having the tires put on, the truck is doing 20/city and 22/Highway

I am surprised that those aren't rubbing based on how much they fill up the wheel well. I test fitted 245/70R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T3W and they weren't even close. They were rubbing the wheel wells a lot . It also did not fit in the spare tire area. I went down to 245/65R17 and the fit nicely. I would be curious to know how these fit with no rubbing and a similar tire isn't even close in the same size. It does appear the Falken's have a more aggressive shoulder block and side grabbers which may be the difference.

What mpg are you getting with the gear tires.
mom debating between the two sizes.

That’s crazy! I wouldn’t even buy this size if it’s rubbing either. I didn’t do anything to the fender well whatsoever. No lift or leveling kit either, just stock suspension. That’s nuts man!

Maguson-Moss Act?

The ford warranty explicitly states that oversized tires may invalidate the warranty. So, Maguson, Moss compliant. Ford has had about 50 years experience dealing with this law.
