Thread: Toyo Open Country HT 265/75r16

I have been wanting to give a try of the 265/75r16 size on my 300tdi wagon for a while. (I currently have 285s) I found a bloke selling the toyo open country HT in this size and he's only asking $200 so I thought could be a reasonably cheap way to test out without forking out thousands. I realise that they won't be much offroad, but I'm just wondering now if a ht tyre of passenger construction is going to have a suitably strong enough load rating to sit under a Defender? Any thoughts? Anyone running this tyre?

To answer my own question they are actually 'light tuck' construction with a load rating 123/120s. So they will be fine.
