What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 5 owner reviews found online.

The Toyo Open Country UT receives predominantly negative user feedback, with drivers criticizing its poor handling, braking performance, and early aquaplaning. While reviewers note that the tires can be quiet and soft on certain smooth surfaces, the overwhelming consensus points to subpar grip and disappointing dynamic characteristics.

Pros

  • Quiet operation on smooth, newly tarred roads
  • Soft ride quality
  • Decent light off-road capability

Cons

  • Poor handling and lacklustre steering feel
  • Inadequate braking performance
  • Scarily early aquaplaning on wet surfaces
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Noisy performance on coarse chip roads

Worth knowing

  • Users compared the summer driving dynamics unfavorably to driving winter tires in hot weather.
  • Multiple reviewers noted that these tires were often received as original equipment fitted by the dealer on used or new vehicles rather than chosen voluntarily.
