For those of you that have had these for a little while now do you still like them? How are they holding up? What’s the noise level like? These and the Ridge Grappler are on my short list.

The noise difference is so minimal that you will forget they're even there before you know it

How do the Toyo Open Country AT IIIs handle rocks, sand, and other terrain, especially when aired down?

How many belts of what material are in the sidewalls? Are the sidewalls strong enough for aired down off roading?

I am considering getting these in the 35x11.5R17 size for my stock JLUR. Also considering the 285x75R17 size.

I continue to be happy with my purchase and have had no issues with traction on any surface as yet or concerns about strength of sidewalls. I recently installed these tires on new wheels and I'm looking to lift soon. If I did it all over I might go with the 35x11.5 instead of the 285/75/17 especially with a wider wheel, but it's only a 4% increase in tire diameter so you can't really go wrong either way.

I had been debating for months what tires to pick to replace my OEM BFG's on my Rubicon. I wanted to go larger, but wasn't ready to do a lift yet, and as a daily driver wanted to stick to a lighter weight tire and avoid any rubbing that might occur off-road. After a ton of deliberation, I had narrowed down my options to the Nitto Ridge Grappler in load C or the Falken Wildpeak in load E as these were all available in a 285 75 R17 size. This should provide an extra inch of tire and half inch of ground clearance over the KO2s.

I was excited to see last week that Toyo had released their Open Country's in a new version, the AT3 and that it came in this size and with a C load rating. The dimensions are effectively the same as the Nitto's, but with a tire weight of 59lbs instead of 65lbs. They were also less expensive so this made the choice a lot easier. I got a set of five tires with mount/balance/disposal/alignment for $268/tire when it was all said and done from the dealership with their buy 3/get 1 sale.

It's too early to say about driving impressions, but overall I'm pleased. When I first saw my Jeep I thought the tires actually looked smaller until I pulled up next to a brand new rubicon and compared. The tires are clearly larger side-by-side and I measured the height to be a true 33", almost 1.5" more than the KOs (which had 30k on them). While they are both 285 in width, the manufacturer stats show 285/75s to be more narrow than 285/70s. I tried to measure the width of the tire lugs and found them to be near as makes no difference about 9" If anything, the Open Country's are wider than the KOs that I had replaced.

I'm liking the look of the OC AT3s, they have larger voids and feel a little more aggressive with the tread, though not as much in the sidewall. The sidewalls are ever so slightly different on each side and I chose to have the more 'aggressive' sidewall facing out, but it's barely noticeable. You can tell the difference because the sidewall 'lugs' have a minor sipe in them. I think these will work quite nicely until the next replacement when I will go larger.

Sidenote: Didn't want to go 35's but I thought the 33's looked too small. 34's were the perfect fit and the ride is so much smoother compared to factory 20's on 275's. So stoked.

Just had the new Rubi springs installed on my Willys yesterday. Your right, the handling is much improved! Very Happy.
What size Ruby springs did you install, any pictures are appreciated? Also, are you rolling on 285/75/17 rubber?

I went two numbers up from my original springs, so about a 1 inch lift. 285/75/17 fit fine on stock rims with no rub. Looked a bit “stuffed” but wheeled fine..

Got myself a set of Toyo OC AT3 285 75 17 and so far I am loving them. Road noise significantly reduced and better handling.

Only question I have is PSI. Tire place set them to 50 all around which I think was crazy. I lowered them to 42 but I think that may be too high as well. What are you guys running ?

Jeep says 37 PSI for the vehicle. Many actually run 28-32 psi however. I'd say start at 37 and see how you like it. Lower it if it still feels too stiff.

I’m probably ordering up a set of these Toyo A/T3’s tomorrow, size 35x11.5x17. Can someone please confirm tire pressure (I’m leaning about 36#) and if there is two different side wall lug options? I’ve heard one side is a more aggressive look.
