Does anyone have experience with Toyo open country H/T tires on their trucks. I am after a good wearing , comfortable riding, quiet tire. I only put 7-8k miles a year on the truck so the tire will have to last more than six years without the rubber dry rotting. Two other tires I am considering are Sumitomo HTR Sport and Yokohama A/T-S. Any info would be great.

Yes, I have had them. I was very impressed w/them as was my wife (important since it waas her Yukon); we bought her a new one and I am now driving her old one. The only reason that I switched to Bridgestone Dueller A/T Revos was b/c I wanted an A/T tire and Toyo's are not very easy to find where I now live, unlike before. I would have gone w/the Toyo A/T had there been a dealer nearby.

 

In summary, I would highly recommend them in both ride quality and wear.

I have TOYO Open Country A/T's (LT series Load Range D) on my truck for the last 12 months, and I only put about the same miles on in a year as you do. I have been very happy with these, and I expect to get many years wear out of them. I have heard (from the tire dealer and other users) that the H/T is also a very good tire... expected to be a little quieter and a little longer wearing on the dry pavement, but not quite so versatile if you run into any snow or ice on the road. So if you live in a part of the country where you just don't worry about snow covered roads (we have them up here for at least 4 months of the year) ... then the H/T's would be a very good choice, IMO.

No snow, lots of rain in the winter (Northern California). Thanks for the replies.

I HAD TOYO Open Country A/T's (LT series Load Range D) on my truck for about 2 to 2 1/2 years and while I loved the feel and the ride quality in all conditions was excellent all 4 tires developed lots of dry rot in the tread voids. The cracks were tiny but they were all over in all the tread voids. Took it to two TOYO tire dealers and they confirmed the cracks were dry rot but they claimed the dry rot was not bad enough for them to do anything warranty wise. That was not the right answer that I wanted to hear as I do 90% highway driving so I had them removed with at least 1/2 the tread remaining. When I had the new tires put on the mechanic first asked if he could have the old TOYO's and I then pointed out the dry rot and then he didn't want them. Perhaps I got my 5 from a bad batch or a old batch? Even after all the pomp and circumstance that TOYO put out to the press about opening factories in America all 5 of my TOYO's where made in China. :rolleyes:

 

Would I try TOYO again? Yeah for one because they were a much better tire than the GY's I replaced them with. I would however have to hear that others have not seen any dry rot in relatively young TOYO tires.

I've put a ton of those Toyo H/Ts on SUV's and trucks and the customers always love them. I put them on my uncles truck and my cousin uses it to tow his dirtbikes.... he claimed that they performed better than the OEM A/Ts they had (I forget what the oem tire is for Nissan...)

 

They're great tires, exactly what you're looking for :rolleyes:

I know the OP was asking about the Toyo H/T tires, and I don't have those, but I can echo other's comments about the Toyo Open Country A/T's which I do have, 265/70-17's. Very happy with them. I bought my truck used with 25,000 miles on the original 20" Goodyear Eagles. My gas mileage dropped about 2 MPG (from mid-19 to 17-and-change) when the Toyos went on, but that's OK. I put them on a couple of weeks before we had our big snow, and they worked very well in that foot of wet concrete we get around here. Obviously, I changed rims when they went on, I went from the OEM chromed 20" rims to a set of 17" Denali take-offs that the local Les Schwab dealer had. Not my favorite rims, but the price was OK and I like the tires. I've had four sets of Toyos on my Toyota 4x4 truck and three sets on my (now deceased) 1984 T-bird. All good.

Getting my Toyo Open Country's replaced tomorrow. Lots of dry rot between treads . Belle Tire contacted Toyo and getting a a ozone rot credit on a new set, all in all about 65% off a new set of 4. If I was not getting the discount I would switch brands seeing this is the second set of Toyo's that have had dry rot. I am going to invest in a good set of tire covers since the truck sits a lot due to a company work truck that comes home with me.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
