New Suv Tire From Toyo:

[Lexusfreak]

Just thought I'd share that there is a brand new all season SUV tire from Toyo called the Open Country H/T that replaces the Open Country M-410 & has a 640 treadwear rating! B) Here is some more info:

Thanks for the information. A true 640 treadwear rating is outstanding for a truck/SUV tire - time will tell if the rating is deserved.

Any idea why tirerack.com does not offer Toyo tires?

What online tire seller does?

Thanks again for providing this information. It will be interesting to see how this tire will compare in price to some of the other highly-rated and moderately-priced truck/SUV tires such as the Yokohama Geolander H/T-S G051 and the Firestone Destination LE that sell so well at tirerack.com.

I have asked why tire rack does not carry Toyo's (as well as Falken's) on more than one occasion in the past. Basicly, they say they feel there are more than enough choices with the brands currently carried by TR & no need to add any more brands (although nobody has ruled it out that they might carry other brands in the future). B)

The Toyo M-410 was a very good all season SUV tire especially in bad weather conditions. This H/T is the replacement & improved in every category. With that long tread life for an SUV tire, it should do very well. B)
