Toyo Open Country R/T Pro LT295/70R17
The Toyo Open Country R/T Pro LT295/70R17 gives you the extra width you've been looking for in a rugged-terrain 17-inch tire. At 295mm wide and approximately 33.3 inches in diameter, this tire delivers a broader tread footprint than the 285/75R17 — resulting in better off-road traction and a more aggressive presence on your truck or Jeep. Popular on Jeep Wrangler JK builds with 3-4" lifts, Ford F-250 upgrades, and RAM 2500 custom setups, the R/T Pro in this size brings the trail-tested Toyo tread technology to a highly versatile platform. Load Range E construction maintains heavy towing capacity and durability. Whether you're navigating rocky trails in Moab or hauling equipment to a job site, the Open Country R/T Pro LT295/70R17 is ready to perform.
Overview
The Open Country R/T Pro LT295/70R17 is a rugged-terrain hybrid designed for drivers who need more than a standard all-terrain without committing to the full compromises of a mud-terrain. The LT295/70R17: 295mm (~11.6") wide, 70% aspect ratio, 17" rim. Approximately 33.3" overall diameter. A wider-than-stock 17-inch option popular as an upgrade on trucks and Jeep Wrangler JK builds. Slightly more width than 285 series for improved off-road footprint. On pavement, the LT295/70R17 delivers predictable highway handling, confident wet braking, and manageable noise levels for a tire of this tread aggression. Off-road, the open shoulders, staggered lugs, and stone ejectors combine to provide solid traction in dirt, gravel, light mud, and loose terrain typical of trail and overland driving. It is a strong match for light truck and jeep off-road builds, overlanding, daily drivers wanting wider footprint in 17-inch sizing, stock-height super-duty towing upgrades, and carries a 128/125Q load rating for dependable performance under demanding conditions.

On‑Road and Off‑Road Performance
On pavement, the LT295/70R17 delivers predictable highway handling, confident wet braking, and manageable noise levels for a tire of this tread aggression. The tread void ratio is tuned to balance mud evacuation with a stable contact patch, so braking and steering remain predictable on wet or dry pavement. In winter conditions, the sipes and block edges help in unpacked snow, though this is not a dedicated winter tire — consider winter tires where conditions are severe. Off-road, the open shoulders, staggered lugs, and stone ejectors combine to provide solid traction in dirt, gravel, light mud, and loose terrain typical of trail and overland driving. Stone ejecting grooves help keep the tread clear, reducing rock drilling and protecting the casing over rough fire roads and construction sites.
Off‑Road Capability
The shoulder lugs and alternating block edges on the LT295/70R17 create side bite in ruts and technical sections. The cut and chip resistant compound limits damage on rocky terrain, and airing down within safe limits increases the footprint for sand and rock crawling — always reinflate before returning to highway speeds. Avoid excessive wheelspin on sharp surfaces, and rotate regularly to keep wear even across drive axles. This size is particularly well-suited for light truck and jeep off-road builds, overlanding, daily drivers wanting wider footprint in 17-inch sizing, stock-height super-duty towing upgrades.
