The open range is Made by sumitomo.
since losing there exclusive contract with toyo, les schwab no longer is able to carry a name brand tire and be competitive in the market. This is where the open range comes in, which is essentially a falken wildpeak. Les schwab is I highly profit driven company that marks there tires up considerably more than they’re competitors so they’ve been forced to carry only in house brands. You can purchase The tried and tested for considerably less than the open range.
the falken wildpeak is a solid tire for the price, but I wouldn’t pay $75+ per tire just because they’re sold at les schwab.
