Toyo Open Country A/T III EV tires for the GX??

[dkim48]

Looking at different options for bigger tires. I see that they offer an EV tire that has virtually the same specs as the A/T III but the economy is rated a 5/5 versus the 3.5/5. Anyone have any experience of running these tires on a non-EV car/suv?

The 305/70r18 equals to 34.81". Kinda tempting to try and see if you can have both the look and gas savings. It is still an E rated tire but max PSI is 65lbs. 60lb tire weight which is on the lighter end compared to other brands in similar sizing.

I'm curious about this as well. I'm thinking about the 275/70r18 because they come is SL and only weigh 48 lbs.

EV tires are built to handle the heavier weight of those cars, a bit of a tougher compound to handle the torque and a lower rolling resistance. Ive used some on my previous is500 and they were pretty good, usually the price difference isn't worth it, but no negatives on using them with gas cars.

Do you think that would fit in the Overtrail without modification or rubbing, etc?

1. Wondering what the tread depth is for that specific size, version of that tire?
2. Wondering if that size width will safely fit on our OEM Overtrail 18” wheels - or would you get a different wheel?

Thanks.

I bought some. Waiting for my TE37's to come from Japan. Went with 18x8 +30 offset Pressed Double Black TE37SB. The wheels should arrive when the Westcott lift kit comes (end of the month). Will report back with pics and how the tires are.
