Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp.'s new Toyo M655 all-weather tire for local and regional service applications is coming to the U.S. This tough, mixed service commercial tire is built for year-round use in the most demanding conditions. Suitable for both drive and steer applications, it includes the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol on its sidewall indicating its ability to perform even in snow and ice.
The wide tread of the M655 features aggressive blocks with multi-wave sipes to optimize traction. The combination of saddle notches and stone ejectors help to support the blocks to retain overall stiffness, while evacuating potentially harmful stones and debris. A special cut- and chip-resistant tread compound further adds to its toughness, while an aggressive sidewall protector is built-in to ensure durability on harsh roads.
First released in Canada, the M655 has proven it’s capable of tackling some of the harshest and most abrasive operating environments encountered by a commercial vehicle. It is also designed and manufactured using Toyo Tires’ proprietary e-balance casing technology resulting in greater stability and longevity under heavy loads.
The new Toyo M655 all-weather tire will be available come April in two sizes, 225/70R19.5 14-ply and 245/70R19.5 16-ply.
