Engineered for high torque diesel pickup trucks that tow trailers or occasionally haul heavy loads, Toyo’s just-released “Open Country H/T with Tuff Duty” tire is an extension of the company’s flagship Open Country H/T for light trucks and SUVs.
Heavy-duty diesel pickup truck owners will experience longer wear and increased tread mileage as a result of new three-belt construction, less tread void and a deeper tread depth, according to spokesman Jay Jones.
The Tuff Duty three-belt design element reinforces and stabilizes the internal tire construction, while less tread void results in a larger surface area for more rubber on the road, he says. Also contributing to longer tread life and longer wear is a deeper tread depth, up to 17/32.
At the same time, says Jones, the new tire “delivers the exceptional ride comfort and balanced all season performance of the traditional Open Country H/T.” A Tuff Duty trademark on the sidewall distinguishes the newest release from the company’s standard Open Country H/T tire.
It is available in five 16- to 17-inch configurations for Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge ¾- and 1-ton pickups. All are load range E.
