Toyo EV Optimized Truck tires coming next year

Not to mention that they maxed out the fuel efficiency rating with no deprecation of any other characteristic. Seems too good to be true.

Based on that graphic, why would you ever not pick the EV tire! There's definitely a downside they're not mentioning (almost certainly cost, probably some performance aspect as well). Otherwise, why wouldn't you just make the standard tire more fuel efficient?

Exactly!

Are they waiting for an over the air update before they post the features and benefits?

I’ve used Toyo Open Country tires on several vehicles and they were great. 2002 GMC Sierra, 2010 F150, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Highlander. I live in southern Oregon Cascades (4200 ft el) and these tires were great in the snow and ice. Will certainly look into for my Lightning.

"The first size will be available February 2024 with other fitments planned to be released later in the year."

I hope the first size is 18"!

Any thoughts on the E, SL, XL, LT versions of the Toyo Open Country AT3 EVs? LT is a stronger tire, but I won’t be rock crawling or towing much. Just light off-roading on dirt trails. Camping with a bed tent, etc. Been getting real confused with all the versions of this tire. Is the XL 116T I’m seeing advertised now the same as the SL? And LT the same as E? Any and all advice/info is welcome. About to get some of these and trying to see if I would be good with the 275/60R-20 116 XL.
