Toyo tyres in the UAE are mostly made in Japan and Malaysia, with some US-made light-truck sizes for American pickups. Japan-made Open Country tyres are especially popular with Patrol owners and can sell out before the winter desert season. Check the DOT code: 4625 means week 46 of 2025. On sand, air down to 15–18 psi for A/T and 12–15 psi for M/T on heavy dunes, then re-inflate fully before the highway.
