Open Country tyres win again.

Akira Miura, in his Toyota Hilux, equipped with Open Country tyres, has taken first place in the 2024 FIA Baja Greece.



Using race spec Open Country M/T R tyres, Akira Miura, guided his Overdrive prepared Toyota Land Cruiser to victory in the Ultimate (FIA T1) class. Miura was participating as a test driver for Toyo Tires to develop further their Open Country product but his competitive nature meant he challenged for, and successfully took the win.


The FIA Baja Greece is the second round of the FIA World Bajas Cup. Miura will not participate in all eight rounds as he is racing to support the development of Open Country tyres. He will have a second chance to win the class at the 6th round, the Qatar International Baja which starts on 2nd November '24

Everything learnt testing in extreme conditions, informs the development process for tyres like Open Country ATIII, Toyo Tires flagship on/off road tyre for all-seasons.

Toyo Tires not only have the best tyres but the best team and support on and off track. Always striving to improve on perfection and with this allowed us to win the Formula Drift Japan Championship with the Proxes R888R Drift.
I use Open Country M/T on my everyday Mazda BT50 that is kitted out for lots of fun plus used to haul the race cars from track to track.

Pikes Peak was an incredible experience for mine and my team TCP-Magic, and we were also able to break 2 world records with Fastest Mazda and Fastest Rotary Powered Vehicle in the 101yrs history of Pikes Peak. TOYO TIRES constructed us 2 amazing tyre options for the challenging conditions the mountain threw at us with the wild weather. I still can't believe the amount of traction we had and how the tyre lasted the massive climb to the top with 156 corners up to 14,000 feet in elevation not to mention fitted on our crazy 2023 Mazda 3 with a 1400h 4 rotor Twin Turbo and RWD conversion running NO traction control, ABS or any type of assists.

Toyo Tires has been my top choice long before we became partners. I have tried and tested many other brands in the past, but none of them met my needs like Toyo did.

Claiming over 100 podium finishes and winning championships every single year in various motorsport disciplines for over 10 years demonstrates the versatility of the Proxes compounds, which performed exceptionally on any track and in any conditions. With Toyo R888R, I can anticipate and predict the next manoeuvre with clarity, maintaining full control in extreme racing conditions from start to finish, regardless of driving style or racing type.

I have been participating in the Dakar Rally, one of the most challenging Cross-Country Rallies in the world and American off-road races with Open Country M/T-R since 2021.
Open Country has impressive performance in all kinds of off-road terrain with a variety of specs to meet each need. With Open Country, I am confident even when attacking unknown places.
I also sympathize with the way Toyo Tires continues to be a challenger, always aims for better and higher performance for the future.
Aiming for the best driving with Open Country is one of my purposes in life.
