Toyo Unveils Open Country R/T Pro

Jan. 29, 2025

Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has launched its new Open Country R/T Pro, an on- and off-road rugged terrain hybrid M/T tire. 

The new tire will succeed the Open Country R/T, which was first introduced by Toyo Tire in 2014.  

The Open Country R/T Pro is designed to tackle dirt, sand, mud, rocks and snow, according to Toyo officials. It features a three-ply sidewall and big shoulder lugs and was designed with an advanced tread design for traction and performance.  

According to Toyo officials, the Open Country R/T Pro bridges the gap between the Toyo Open Country R/T Trail, a rugged terrain A/T tire, and the Toyo Open Country M/T, a maximum traction tire.  

The R/T Pro features an aggressive tread pattern, including omni-directional-shaped tread blocks, increased void ratio and lateral grooves to provide improved traction in snow and mud. 

The tire’s hybrid design enhances comfort and performance with reduced pattern noise, improved ride quality and confidence-inspiring on-road handling compared to traditional mud tires, says Toyo officials.  

The tire will launch with an initial 50 sizes and load combinations for 17- up to 24-inch wheel diameters and up to 42-inches in overall diameter. Popular fitments for this line-up include factory original and heavily modified vehicles from makes such as Chevrolet, Ford, INEOS, Land Rover, Nissan, Jeep, Ram and Toyota. 

“The Open Country product line now features a highly capable, professional-grade hybrid M/T solution for enthusiasts to fine-tune their tire selection with the exciting addition of our newest tire, the Open Country R/T Pro,” says Todd Bergeson, senior manager, product planning and technical services, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp.  

“This tire is a culmination of extensive research and testing. We worked directly with off-road enthusiasts and industry experts across the country, to ensure it will meet both our strict targets and our customer’s expectations for performance and reliability. The result is an aggressive hybrid M/T tire with outstanding performance that will exceed the expectations of our customers.”  

The Open Country R/T Pro is backed with a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty and the Toyo Tires No Regrets 45-Day/500-Mile Trial Offer.
