Understanding the 285/60R18 XL size

In the size code 285/60R18, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 171 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31.5".

The load index 120 means each tire supports up to 3,086 lbs — about 12,344 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol S certifies the tire to 112 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Toyo Open Country A/T III is built for

The Toyo Open Country A/T III is an all-weather tire — a year-round option certified for severe snow service, so it can stay on the vehicle through winter. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is classified for all-terrain (a/t) use.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 A B. The treadwear grade of 600 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $250.35 per tire, a full set of four costs $1001.40. That is about 17% above the average of the 27 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $15.41 per 1,000 miles across the set.
