Toyo Introduces Regional Medium Truck Tire
SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA – Toyo Tire U.S.A.
Corp.’s new M154 regional highway medium truck tire will be available this
spring in size 295/75R22.5, with more sizes on the way, according to Modern Tire Dealer magazine. Future
sizes include 285/75R24.5 in the summer, 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 (both in LRG and
LRH) in the fall, and near the end of 2008, 265/75R22.5 and 245/75R22.5.
The Toyo
M154 was created using the company’s proprietary e-balance design technology
that “focuses on a stiffer belt package, stiffer bead construction, and
optimization through computer simulation technology.”
The tire
contains a straight differential rib in the outer groove of its tread, a stone
ejector groove in the center tread, and an optimized casing profile to maintain
a uniform tread radius during service.
