Toyo  Open Country A20

Had since purchase car new in 2011 and have since put 38000 miles. Rotated under normal Toyota service-always dealer serviced. Great tires, but would love to have gotten closer to 50k vs 38k miles! No traction issues and very quiet on the road. I may also contribute the low noise level to the Highlander's quality. Seems to be one of the more expensive tires for some reason. I will probably buy the same for my 2nd set since I know they ride nice and being a traveling salesman, comfort is very important. Tires at 38000 miles are right at a 2 when 10 is new tread.

I own and operate a used and new tire liquidation and wholesale business so I've had the opportunity to try a wide spectrum of type, brand/model, and sizes of tires on various vehicles.

This review considers that the tire is a brand new all season road tire under normal driving style expected of an SUV. For example I'm not comparing it's capabilities to a winter tire or high-performance summer tire.

I get the impression from a lot of reviewers that folks expect the sun and the moon from an all season tire - I've personally have not found a tire that will give you this. All season tires are generally "jack of all trades but master of none". Again I've considered this in my review.

Finally, my vehicle is AWD so I've considered stopping and cornering in my evaluation of traction.

Snow performance is better than I expected. No loss of traction under normal driving conditions on packed snow, so very good here. In deep snow there is some slippage but I felt it was predictable so I still felt in control of the car.

Slush and ice is where this tire struggles, like most all-season tires. You will feel like you've lost the vehicle in these conditions. Snow tires will prevail here due to deeper tread depth and softer compound.

Dry and wet traction are fine for normal driving.

Ride quality and handling - well balanced, a bit harsh, with faint road noise. Sidewalls feel solid during cornering and lane changing, but that could also be due to the car's relatively stiff suspension.

Treadwear is rated lower than other all seasons (3xx vs. 4xx) but the trade-off could be better traction in the near term.

I expect my review to hold true until about the 70% mark (18-20000kms based on treadwear rating) where the tire will loose a lot of the critical smaller tread sipes and therefore a lot of its strengths (a better tire will have "deeper" sipes). Because of this I wouldn't buy this tire again, but in the mean time I'm happy with them.

These came with the 2012 Highlander Limited - very quiet tires and provides a comfortable ride.
Not to be used in snow, off-road and definitely not ice. OK for highway and city use.
I don't have 15k miles on the speedometer and I am replacing them next week with Michellin Lattitude as these Toyos are already down to the wear mark! Most of my driving has been suburban with some highway and a little snow.
I had Michellin tires on my last two Acura's and I never had to change them before selling the cars. Toyo must use plasticine instead of rubber!

Comfortable driving, quiet OEM tire that improves with time. 3/32" after 33000 miles of 3 season use (I only use winter tires in winter in Canada). Handling could be better, though not bad, not sure if it is because of the tires or the vehicle. They are due for replacement soon - considering Pirelli Scorpio Verde All Season Plus or Continental CrossContact LX20 EcoPlus. I expect to give up a bit in comfort and gain a bit in handling and possibly treadwear(?). Consumers Reports found Michelin Latitude Tour tops in this category, though TireRack, not so much.

don't like the ride or the handling

Wet traction is terrible! I don't trust them in rain. Awful traction in light snow. Forget it in heavy snow. AWD won't help traction. Worst OEM tires I have had.

This tire is OK for an OEM, but I do not like its behavior under wet conditions. They are fairly quiet, and ride fine. In our climate how tires handle in the rain is a big deal - I really dont trust them that much.

These were OE when I bought the car (P245/65R17). They were pretty quiet and were responsive enough when dry, which is quite often in Texas. Once I hit 20k miles though, they would hydroplane on even the slightest bit of moisture.

I rotated and balanced the tires every 5k miles as recommended in the owners manual and managed to get just over 45k miles on the tires before they hit 4/32". I must've been one of the lucky ones as there seem to be quite a few others that barely got half that.

These tires are not worth the $193 that Tire Rack currently lists them for especially when the Michelin Defender and Premier LTX's are cheaper and have a better treadlife warranty than the nonexistent treadlife warranty that the Toyos offer.

For this application, I recommend skipping the Toyos and going with Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental or Pirelli instead.

This was the OEM tire that came with my Highlander. While they have been quiet and smooth-riding, their traction in all but absolutely dry conditions is awful. Pretty slippery in the rain, and in snow or ice, you are taking your life in your hands. I live in Colorado, and they are just nowhere near up to the job in winter driving conditions. On recent trips in snowy conditions, if there was the least little bit of ice present, it was all I could do to keep the car on track even with all-wheel drive. These tires are just awful in the snow. Also, the tread wear is poor. I have 5 tires and rotate them every 3,000 miles, and I doubt I'll get more than 25,000 out of these. Next tires will be either Bridgestone or Continental CrossContact models, which have great snow ratings from your surveys.

OK for an OE tire, if you don't need much traction. Not good at all good for winter driving, even though we've had a very mild winter, just an inch or two of snow in December, and nothing since!

These tires wore like no others I've ever had. After 60,000 miles they still have tread left, but with winter coming they have to finally go. I was not impressed with the snow traction as far as stopping goes. It's a Jeep though and will go with any type of tire in my opinion. I have been contemplating getting another set only because of how long they lasted, but with the way they handle in snow I'll bow out and get something with a more aggressive tread. If you drive where there is no snow, I highly recommend them.

This was an OEM tire on my highlander, Been driving for 33 years and I can say for sure this was the worst set of tires I have ever owned. 13000 miles from new and already tires are almost all worn out like racing slicks. parts of tire starting to show steel belts... will never buy again

bought this tire as Bridgestone OE tires did not last and had no mileage warranty. These had mileage warranty but by 18,000 miles replaced because they were slipping a lot even though there was a good amount of tread left. Seeing these are the most expensive tires at this time no way would I recommend these tires. At time I bought them it was one of the few options in the size tire I run, 18".

Not a fan of this tire. I have 42,000 miles on them and they are completely worn. Will not buy again.
