TOYO Open Country AT2's (265/60/R18)
Saw a few posts and or threads about these (toyo) tires so I'll throw this thread up and update as things happen.
I bought a set of these in 265/60/R18 from Les Schwab when the older Pirelli Scorpion Zero's my 3 was running started going out on me (IE, getting to the tread limit for safety, then finally picked up a bolt head to the tread at 80mph). (B-side, the previous owner had the pirellis, but judging from the complete service records I had pulled the dealership they only got around 35-40k miles out of them from the point he had them put on. Lame! ).
Have had them on for maybe 2k miles so far and I like them. They do rub on the frame horns that project into the wheel well at full turning articulation so that does infuriate me to some extent (tread rubs, not sidewall). I will be grinding those pieces down when I can. Otherwise they are fairly quiet on the highway, while being decently aggressive, although I need to do some testing. The total tire size is good and they look good on the stock 10 spoke LR3 rims.
I think the biggest selling point for me was that the family uses Les Schwab for most if not all of our tires and if I ever had a problem, the Toyo AT2's in that size are super common so I would not have a problem getting another mounted immediately if I needed it. They stock the darn things at every Les Schwab I have ever visited. The 65k mile warranty does help. They were pricey but if they wear and ride okay for the next few years I will probably buy them again. My dad has been running the Toyo AT2's for years on his 01 suburban and he continues to buy Toyo.

I love the Toyo Open Country AT2 when I ran 255/55R18s. Silent on highway, strong sidewall with excellent off-road capability as well as 60K warranty to boot.
I am running Duellers on 275/55R18. Not a fan of the latter. I will be going back to Open Country AT2s in the 265/65R18s when it is time to replace the Duellers.
