The Toyo Open Country was pretty good from an understeer perspective -
managable, not too severe and very predicible. The grip was slightly better than the
BFG, with a slightly higher lateral G number, but given that the Toyo did not chatter, it
probably has less grip potentially than the BFG, assuming the BFG chatter problem
could be cured. The tire was easy to drive at the limit.
