Toyo Rolls Out New Long Haul Truck Tire
SANTA FE
SPRINGS, CA – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp.’s latest
medium truck tire, the M137, is a premium steer radial for long haul
applications.
“This
tire is designed to deliver more miles-per-32nds to operators,” said Toyo
officials, according to Modern Tire
Dealer magazine. The M137 is a product of Toyo’s e-balance design
technology “that focuses on a stiffer belt package, stiffer bead construction
and optimization through simulation technology. Benefits include improved tire
life, improved endurance, improved irregular wear resistance, and improved fuel
consumption.”
During
the tire’s operation, special cap and base tread compounds reduce heat at the
belt edge and excessive heat build-up inside the tire structure.
The M137
is available in two sizes: 295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5.
