VehicleToyota Kluger GXL Hybrid
Tyre Brand & ModelToyo A43 Open Country
Tyre Size235/65 R18 106V
LocationHealesville, Victoria
ConditionsDry bitumen, urban environment and winding roads

Wheels tested the Toyo A43 Open Country in the urban environment around Healesville in country Victoria, as-fitted to a 2023 Toyota Kluger.

As well as helping the big Toyota deliver a soft and comfortable ride (thanks to the pillowy 65-profile), the A43 Open Country also assisted the Kluger in being quiet at an urban amble.

In very extreme dynamic testing on a winding road, the A43 Open Country showed off ample grip and roadholding.

In this particular test, we didn't get to test the A43 Open Country in wet conditions, off-road or unsealed conditions, or assess highway road noise. Watch for more on those aspects to come in the near future.
