Pretty scary on the wet. Doesn't have issues braking or accelerating, but sideways loading, man... it just looses grip out of nowhere. I've spun a few times on roundabouts when it had just started to rain. Otherwise, all... Read more > round good tyre. Flexible sidewalls mean they offer a good ride on compacted off-road scenarios but get too mushy when aired down for beaches and I would not take it off-roading where rocks ate involved as the sidewalls are not resistant at all. Also, the thing picks up gravel and rocks and doesn't let go... they should rename it to OpenCountry Otter32. It only let's go of its pebble when it dies...

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 ...

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... Read more > 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... Read more > 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.
