This: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f25/new-toyo-r-t-tire-coming-september-36274/ I don't think Toyo is referring to it as a Road Touring tire. It's in between the AT and MT. More aggressive than an AT but less aggressive than a full blown MT. Kinda how the Copper ST Maxx is in between the LTZ and STT

RT. Rugged terrain.

Looks like a decent tire

Do you think these nittos gets the severe winter rating because of all the siping?

 

[Master Yoda]

I'm thinking that's the reason. I could be wrong. Have you checked the specs on Nittos website?

It depends on how you mean "because of the siping". It's likely because of the siping that they were able to achieve the required performance but you can't obtain the snowflake symbol just for a design. The tire has to perform a certain percentage (25% iirc) better than a reference tire on some ice and snow tests. Some snow tires now are much better than that though and there is only the one rating.

Thank you. I was asking because the tread alone didn't strike me as a snow tire tread.

I have the Cooper ST Maxx. Have roughly 1K miles on them. They have been really quiet on the road and great in the mud and rain.

35" EXO Grapplers......

.......so far, so good. Nothing off road just yet, only got home a bit ago. I can report their highway manners are good, having a bit more hum at interstate speed than Terra Grapplers, but that was expected. Definitely quieter than my worn out BFG's.

are the Toyo RT winter rated?
