Toyo Open Country A/T III Review

At Big Brand Tire & Service, we know a thing or two about tires—and we know a great all-terrain tire when we see one. The Toyo Open Country A/T III? It's more than great—it's one of the best all-terrain tires on the market right now.
Whether you're a weekend warrior, a daily highway commuter, or someone who needs to be ready for anything—rain, snow, gravel, or sun-scorched pavement—the A/T III delivers the versatility and confidence you need, without compromise. Let's take a look at what makes this tire such a standout, and why so many Big Brand customers leave with it on their vehicle (and a smile on their face).
The Evolution of the Open Country Line
Toyo's Open Country series has built a loyal following over the years—and the A/T III is their most advanced all-terrain tire yet. Building on the success of the A/T II, the A/T III brings major upgrades in traction, longevity, and winter performance.
In short: it's tougher, smarter, and grippier—and it's ready for whatever adventure you throw its way.
Why Drivers Love the Toyo Open Country A/T III
1. Serious All-Terrain Performance
The A/T III features an aggressive tread design that gives it off-road bite, but it doesn't ride like a rock crawler. Toyo found the magic formula for blending traction and smoothness.
- Staggered shoulder lugs
Help with traction in loose terrain like dirt and gravel.
- S-shaped and zig-zag siping
Improves wet and snow grip.
- Stone-ejecting grooves
Reduce the chance of rocks getting lodged and damaging the tire.
Whether you're navigating rocky trails or wet highways, this tire is locked in.
2. Quiet and Comfortable on the Road
One of the most common questions we hear at Big Brand is: "Will an all-terrain tire be noisy on the highway?"
With the Open Country A/T III, the answer is no. Thanks to Toyo's advanced tread block sequencing, the ride is smooth and surprisingly quiet—even at higher speeds.
It's a tire that acts rugged when you need it to, but keeps things civilized on your commute.
3. 3PMSF Winter Rating (Snow Certified)
Not all A/T tires are built for winter. The A/T III is. It's earned the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, meaning it meets the industry's toughest standards for severe snow service.
This makes it a great option if you live in places that get real winters—without having to swap to dedicated snow tires.
4. Built to Last
The Open Country A/T III is made with Toyo's next-gen tread compound, which boosts tread life and improves resistance to cuts, chips, and wear. And with warranties like this, you can feel confident:
- 65,000-mile limited treadwear warranty
For P-metric sizes.
- 50,000-mile warranty
For LT sizes.
That's a lot of mileage—and a lot of peace of mind.
