Toyo Open Country A32 Reviews

car driven in constant AWD, placard pressures used and monitored regularly.front tyres just changed at 90k km, expect to get another 15k km from the rears, that are now on the front, regular rotation would maybe have helped maximise the fronts even more, that didn't happen. Spare tyre now on the rear with a matching tyre, expecting many km of trouble free driving in the future.

Came standard when purchasing my Pajero Sport.  Okay in dry weather, but in wet weather very dangerous.  Back end of car fishtails and slides out when going around corners or roundabouts.  Moving car into 4H doesn’t help.  Have changed my tyres to a different brand and type.  Would not recommend.

The tyres are reasonable, most of the time. They do OK in dry conditions and are pretty good on gravel, and very good on sand. In the wet, they are beyond dangerous. I have a young family, and have noticed on roundabouts and chicanes, in the wet they are very prone to understeering even under very low speed and can oversteer in certain conditions. This poor performance was noticeable on the first experience in the wet, and remained until they were replaced at 55,000km so wear was not the factor. The tyre's did hold up very well in terms of treadwear, and I expect would have had 10's of thousands of kms left in them however balancing safety I have since changed to a Falken AT tyre and the change in performance and safety has been significant. I would strongly advise against this particular tyre and find it surprising that Toyo, who I've had good experiences with in the past, produces such a poor performing tyre in the wet.

These Toyo A32 tyres (as delivered on our new Pajero Sport) are dangerous on wet roads. The front tyres were sliding going slowly around wet corners and roundabouts in 4H (no diff locks engaged). The first time I assumed that there was oil on the road. After that I knew that it was the tyres.The tread also picks up and holds onto gravel, seeds, etc, which probably doesn't help with their grip.They are the worst tyres on wet roads that I've experienced on any vehicle in over 40 years.The tread is going to last forever though, because after only 6000km I've replaced them with Falken AT3W's, which we had on our previous Pajero Sport. Cheaper and less hassle to do that than have a crash on A32's on a wet road.

The wet weather performance of these tyres around town borders on dangerous. In the wet they frequently spin on the spot when trying to accelerate normally from a standstill at an interesection. Recently the rear end spun out as I was exiting a roundabout causing the ABS break alert to appear on the dash and I was unable to accelerate due to some rubbishy safety feature. Cars behind me must have wondered what I was doing? I had to pull over, off the road to let them past before the ABS went off and I could resume. In my opinion these tyres are dangerous in wet weather. And I don't have driving confidence in them at all for wet weather highway driving. I just wish my new car warranty would include getting them replaced with better ones.

Quite reasonable in the dry. Downright dangerous in the wet. Worst tyres I've driven on in wet weather once down to half tread.

Dry performance is no problem. Even though the Pajero Sport is a bigger vehicle, you can throw it around and know that the tyres will grip reasonably well on hard-top roads...when dry. When it is raining, then it's a different story. Pulls up well in a straight line with no abs shudder, but turn a corner or go around a roundabout, the back end loses grip easily and slides. I now engage 4WDh in the wet just as a precaution. It had given me a good scare a few times....

Alright in the dry. Did surprisingly well off-road for a HT tyre. Hopeless on wet roads. These tyres weren’t designed for wet handling. The worst part is the loss of traction is not linear, it just suddenly lets go. I would not buy a Toyo tyre ever because of these tyres. Even tho I know the Open Country ATs are a completely tyre, but I just can’t trust the company that would release these tyres to market to be conscionable.

I bought a pair of these second-hand (travelled minimal km) and whacked them on the front of my dual-cab before a road trip to the eastern states. Having read mixed reviews on here I was wary of wet weather driving. I drove through the blue mountains while raining, in and out of Wollongong while raining (Illawarra highway to Moss Vale in heavy rain was a test let me tell you) and out of Canberra in very heavy rain. No issues in the wet. Had no aqua planing or nervous moments. Not sure why others have had issues but I would buy these again. Quiet and smooth on the highway. Not sure about off-road yet. They look like they'll handle a bit more than a HT tyre but time will tell.

If you love your family never buy TOYO tires. Dangerously no grip on wet condition and the car is going with control and slip out the line even driving in very low speed. I got this car on my new Pajero sport factory fitted all alignments checked mechanic suggested to change the tire.

I always put my car into 4wd open lock when the road is wet. These tyres are positively frightening when turning with any moisture is in the road. Turning a corner the front tyres can just slide. Never experienced this with many other tyres.

Great tyre all around but if going offroad I mean at least gravel and sand please use caution, if going on 60Kmph wouldn't really matter but high-speed diffent story. You will feel floating and this little scary for me. And the wet, almost done a 180-degree turn on the highway when I was getting a corner this sub 20Kmph and probably due to the behaviour of the rear-wheel-drive system. So in a nutshell great tyre for dry condition and fuel mileage or kilometrage here in Downunder, but if you have a 4WD I would go for something else.
