![]() ![]() Decreased traction due to less contact patch makes road rides shaky and less comfortable comparatively. Broad grooves allow free space for reflection and resonation of air particles producing louder sounds. Toyo produces more noise while rolling on roads. Greater contact patch optimizes on road traction and provide more comfort while driving on paved tracks. Narrow grooves minimize wind resonation and interlocking placement of angular lugs cancel out sound producing waves. Driving ComfortĪTX provides quieter and comfortable driving experience on roads. It has raised stony ejectors engraved among grooves which bump out bombarding stones, rocky fragments and pebbles making the tire safe from stone clogging and scratches. S-shaped angular blocks of central ribs further increase biting ability. Its open and aggressive tread grips firmly over rough surface of slopes. Toyo can roll over Rocky Mountains like a rock star. Stone ejection ability makes the tread resistant to punctures, scratches and choking due to stones as bumpy stone ejectors strike off pebbles and rock fragments and do not let them stuck into grooves. Aggressive shoulder support handling when taking turns and improve traction a little bit. Low void ratio decrease biting ability and makes grip on uneven rocky slopes difficult. Rock TerrainĪTX loses the competition when it comes to performance in rocky terrain although it is fairly dependable. However, on icy surface Toyo faces troubles, as its limited contact patch provide only a little ice traction. It carries three peak mountain snowflake rating as well. Its massive voids allow effective removal of soft snow through them, clearing the tread and path of vehicle as they roll ahead. Open Country can roll about snowy areas without any difficulty. Frequent siping and dimples further increases traction by wiping slippery fluids off. However, low void ratio proves beneficial on icy paths, higher contact patch make tread grip on surface tightly leading to good ice traction. Grooves gradually get filled with snow and tire loses traction. Its denser tread with smaller voids cannot throw snow backwards and clear its pathway while moving ahead. Grabber’s performance over light snow is lesser than its competitor. Staggered shoulders play their role in maintaining traction at hard corners. Its broad and deep grooves provide open space for removal of mud and maintain traction even in bogs with heavy mud. Toyo shows excellent traction while rolling through muddy areas. Narrow grooves lack evacuation property and don’t provide enough space for removal of mud and debris, hence, mud can get stuck in its zigzag grooves leading to decreased traction on muddy tracks. Off-Road Traction Comparison Mud TerrainĪTX find troubles while rolling across mud terrain due to its low void ratio. Huge grooves along with zigzag sipes wipe off water and contribute aquaplaning resistance yet overall traction remains poor in comparison. Due to less surface area of tread in contact with road, these tires are less responsive resulting in wriggly rides. Its massive voids cause reduction of contact patch making grip of tread on road markedly lesser. Open country does not show impressive on road traction like its competitor. Hydroplaning resistance is outclass as frequent sipes and dimples over tread wipe water away and account for good wet traction. Smaller grooves increase contact patch of tread as a result it can grip strongly on concrete roads.Ĭlosed shoulders make handling over tricky turns smoother and controlled. Superior performance of ATX on paved road is credited to its comparatively low void ratio. ![]() Raised stone ejectors bump troublesome rock particles away, preventing the tread from punctures and gravel stuffing. Stronger sidewalls and staggered shoulder lugs make handling across turnabouts outclass when moving off road. High void ratio results in better evacuation of mud and snow making traction over such loose substances excellent. On the other side, its massive channels make Toyo clear winner while roaming through rough tracks of nature. Toyo Open Country AT3 gives an aggressive look owing to raised blocks, massive open channels, zigzag siping, staggered shoulders and prominent stone ejectors.īroad grooves leads to reduction of contact patch and minimize on road traction as a result. ![]()
