just bought a set of toyo open country a/t's for my 98 f150 4x4. $600 out the door for 265/75/r17, set of 4. really nice, quite on road with great ride. waaayyy better than my goodyear mt/r's on the liberty, but they are not even half as agressive as far as the tread. anyway, here are a couple of pics, see if you like em'.

I ran those tires on my TJ for 3 years. They were very nice tires but seemed to wear fast. |

did you do the normal maintenace on them, rotation, air pressure checks and all? ill keep an extra close eye on them for the first 10 - 15k miles, see if they wear fast. hopefully not, im trying to sell the vehicle, hope they last a good while. |

They seem to just be a softer rubber (which translates to good traction) but also fast wear. |

By sipes, do you mean those little lines going through the tread? My yokohama Geolanders have those.. They are alittle bigger though.. 
I really like the tread of them. Looks almost like mine.. Mine are alittle soft so I know they will wear fast. I really like them and will probably buy them again even if they only last 30k.. For the price they cannot be beat. Got them for $445.. 
Why are you wanting to sell the truck? wanting another libby?

I thought I read in another thread that you wanted another libby?

Had these on our KJ for a year now. I really like these tires especially in the snow. They seem to be wearing pretty well so far.

I am trying to decide between the Toyo Open Coutnry AT and the Geolander AT-S. they are the only two decent looking tires that come in the dreaded 235/65/17 size. |

tried them out in wet weather a week or so ago. really tried to get the rear end sideways, and it took quite a bit more gas pedal than i thought, especially with the 5.4l, it has tons of torque. took a couple of turns a litte fast to see if i would hydroplane at all, and nothing. really work well, very quiet. |
