We’ve run the Toyo RT’s for 70K now, in a variety of different conditions. So let’s review how they faired & see if I’d purchase them again.

Happy, Safe Adventuring - Cheers Graham. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Given my Toyo ATs a hammering over the last 70k, really impressed, ill give the RTs a go next time
Great review Graham, yes, also running a set of the same on my LC200. early days n km's for mine, but really enjoying them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for a no bs review good to see a bit of video footage to.
I did enjoy your review, thank you.
Excellent vid. I bought the tires!
Lake Havasu-☀️, AZ. USA.
Great in-depth review
Best review of these tyres, cheers
Good to hear mate - appreciate your support 👍🏻
Thanks for a good honest tyre review
All good mate 👍🏻 - appreciate the support
Very informative thank you.
I typically do not comment but bang up job on your review. Good video, editing of clips adding clips in made it great. Probably the best review I’ve seen on CZcams
I agree
well.. i'm sold... definitely gonna put some 285 70/17 RTs on my ranger. Cheers mate, from the 'states!
Good video mate. Loving the information your giving out! Keep up the great work.
Cheers mate - appreciate the support 👍🏻
Great review Graham, I’m running the same on my 200 and although I’m only around 20,000 km I’m very impressed with them so far.
Thanks for the support mate - might finally have found a tyre which I’ll buy a second set of, normally I keep looking for the next one to try out.
Agree about BFG KO's in wet mate
Hi Graham, Thanks for the review. I purchased the same tyres at the 2018 4x4 show in Perth but haven't done as many km's as you. I'm also very happy with the RT's and hopefully will get the same km's out of them as you have. Cheers Graeme
You purchased them a very similar time to us then 👍🏻
Thanks Mate
Hi Graham, any thoughts on how would they compare to the nitto ridge grapplers?
Awesome, thanks brother. What u running these days?
Love my toyo AT but would question you getting 120 from what's left on the RT . . .
Thanks Graham! I watched this video a couple of times last night & after looking at some other options , I have ordered a set of 35's for my Suburban today. We will see how they go (I'm currently running Bridgestone AT's & have plenty of tread damage from the hard ironstone rocks in The Gawler Ranges where I go a couple of times a year) I'm certainly interested in how the RT's perform on wet sealed roads though. I've had some previous tyres not do well (funnily enough after mentioning that I didn't like the KO2's on wet roads on my old V8 Cruiser back many years ago, I left the shop to see them on his Landcruiser. Doh! Thanks for your honest opinion though they are starting to get up there price wise now. CHEERS!!
Hi - what choices are you thinking for next tyre? What rims do you have and any offset? I have MT ATZ p3 on mine - any comments or comparison with theses and they toyos? Cheers
One of my favorite tires, just ordered my 2nd set for my 2017 F350, 37x13.50R20. I've got over 91,000 kms on them, and they still have life left on them...unfortunately not enough to get through another winter here. I run 55 psi all the way around, rotated them twice, and they've worn completely even. Highly recommend them!
Yep - I’m still running them now, will either get another set of the same or the Nitto Ridge Grapplers next.
@@great_offroad_adventures just mounted the new tires this morning...ah, much better!
I have LT315/75R16 Toyo MTs on my 13,000# Fuso. Great performers on and off road, although they do need to be rotated and balanced at least every 8000 KM to keep them quiet. So far I have 48,000 kms and two years on this set and expect to get about 56,000 kms on them which is pretty good for my heavy truck. Zero flats and I’ve been in some crappy places with lots of rocks/sand/gravel.
That’s some good mileage under a heavy vehicle - If I remember correctly the RT’s share the same carcass as the MT’s which makes them very durable....I’ve had 0 punctures with mine, I agree with balance & rotations....it’s the key to getting any sort of decent mileage from any type of tyre.
Great review Graham. Toyo tyres seem to be up and coming in the 4x4 community, particularly with high klm longevity. ive found them to be significantly quieter and as capable as other well advertised brands.
Thanks mate - they have really impressed me, quality manufacturing, easy to balance, great drivability & longevity too.....price is good for the quality of tyre your getting too.....not really much to complain about.
Not sure if you said elsewhere.
But how many k’s did you end up on the rt’s?
And did you stay with or try another?
I just got them today 285/70/17
Hey Graham, another great video mate. What’s your thoughts on the off-road capability of the toyo’s versus the BFG KO2’s? I’ve been running KO2’s for roughly 25K on my 200 and have been happy with their performance, especially in technical areas such as rocky climbs, but keep hearing great reviews of the toyo’s. As you mentioned, the KO2’s are not great on wet bitumen, I’ve had many a sketchy moment in the rain.
In my experience, Ko2 is nice in looks and off road but not a good tyre in the rain.. very slippery.. Can feel the steering become lighter (understeer) and oversteer as well.
Very thorough and good info. Thanks Graham. How may clicks did you get from the previous Kumos and BFG's?
Cheers mate - appreciate the support.
Got 80K from the Kuhmos & they were pretty shagged by then.....I got 70K on the BFG’s....they probably could have made 80-85K, but I knocked my wheel alignment out near Lake Eyre and the run back along the Nullarbor ripped the inside edges of the fronts down to the cords, outsides were fine.
@@great_offroad_adventures Sounds like you are onto something there Graham. The next set for me will be Toyo RT's will be fitted, unless I hear otherwise from you ofcourse :) #Trust
Hi Graham, thanks for the video. I was wondering if you encountered any issues with balancing these tyres or vibration?
No - these took surprisingly little weight to balance & have never given me issues.
Never a problems with the ko's
Wasn’t a fan of them….found them like ice skating shoes in the wet (horrible understeer) and not aggressive enough for my liking offroad.
Great Review thanks mate.
How would you compare these to the M51 in mud?
Cheers mate - they are the next step up from the MT51’s…..worth the extra price difference.
In your Kumho review you said they were much quieter than your KO's. But then these you said are quieter than the Kumho but on part eith KO'S......I wonder if its just because your comparing the new tire with the worn out tire. I wonder which time is quieter during the first half of their life???
Can't get hold of these in the UK. Having a read, the Cooper ST Maxx seem comparable. Do you have any personal experience?
I've ran Cooper Zeon LTZ for the last 2 years and while the tread has been amazing, incredible on road and beyond what you'd expect for an AT off road. However I found the rubber went hard within about 1 year or 30k miles and the ride suffered as a result so cautious to go Cooper again.
No I haven’t had personal hands on experience with Coopers, but your saying is commonly reported here in Aus from those who do use them as well.
Finding there is a 3 month wait for these, I'm going x5 Kumho MT51 on my Datsun.
Thank uncle joe
Got 2 sets of at3’s took a week before uncle joe . Got Toyo at3 lt on my 2500 Chevy diesel an p rated Toyo at3 on my lx570 abt 20k on both rotated every 5k miles still look new
Hi Graham, did you have any problems with the tyres scrubbing on the guards? If so was it just a caster adjustment?
With the 295/70/17’s on a +35 offset.
Very minor scrub on the plastic inner wheel arch lining at the back of the wheel arch……nothing a heat gun and some gentle persuasion didn’t fix.
Went to 305/70/17 recently and some extra persuasion needed again for these….but they also scrub on the KDSS sway bar, so it’s as big as I can get without new rims with a bigger offset or without relocating the KDSS, which in turn adds more headaches.
@@great_offroad_adventures Thanks mate, just put them on our new camera car with +35 offset Vapours and we are scrubbing so thought I’d check. Cheers.
Hello! What can you say about sidewall of this tires? Is it enough strong?
Absolutely - never had any issues with sidewall damage on these.
Hi did you rotate all 6 tyres
Yes - that’s 70K across all 6x tyres, looking at 120K from all 6x tyres maybe 80-90K if I’d only used 4x tyres.
Let's see the tire in action
Watch my channel 🤷🏻♂️
Hey mate, it's been 10 months since you made this video, how many k's have you put on them in total? This is the best review I've found on any tyre. Definitely gives me a lot of faith in the rt's. Was going to buy the ko2's but I was surprised by your experience with them (assuming you had the ko's and not the ko2's though)
Loving the RT’s they are pretty much dead now....with 110K on the clock, might squeeze them up to 120K, but will be a squeeze.
Yeah I’ve had experience with both KO’s and KO2’s and I’d take the RT’s over both.
That's honestly very impressive! Have heard so many good things about them now. Been talking to my mates and it seems the only downside to the toyos is availability. Do you think finding a spare while camping remote would be an issue with the toyos? That could be where the ko2's have an advantage but as far as quality of the tyre goes, sounds like toyo takes the cake on that one
Yeah finding a spare would be difficult if in remote areas.....but any metro area or large country town should be able to get one for you if needed.
Part of the reason why I carry 2x spares, if I bust one beyond repair, I can order one in advance to the next large town or city I’m heading too if needed.
I still think it's worth waiting around for this tyre based on all the good things I've heard about it. Plus, if I damage a tyre while on holidays and have to use my spare, I might be able to get more time off work if I'm waiting for a tyre to get delivered ahaha
how is this compare with falken wildpeak at3w
More aggressive, but I can’t do a direct comparison as I haven’t tried the Falkens
Hi mate.. how
Did you go on fuel with theses.. also I heard that the speedo goes out at these size tyres?
Thanks mate
Probably lost 0.5L/100km in economy, so marginally worse off, the speedo was 5-6km fast, so now it’s bang on accurate, go any bigger & it will begin to read slow.
Great Off-Road Adventures - Graham Reinders thanks mate.. how did you know that the speedo is now accurate ? Cheers
@@dannymaiden1940 G'day Danny, any GPS (Hema maps, Gamin, etc) will confirm this for you.... even Google Maps has a speed readout now.
10 months on, are you still running the same set??
Yeah - they are getting low now, maybe have to replace them in June
@@great_offroad_adventures think you'll stick with Toyo??
I’ll either get the same again or Nitto Ridge Grapplers
You didn’t mention snow how are they on snow I know you are a Aussie
Yeah I reckon they are mint on snow, better than a snow tyre with spikes in my opinion.....but then I’ve never driven on snow.....😂😂😂😂
