Toyo M157 truck tire fights wear, saves fuel

Aug. 15, 2011

Toyo Tires has introduced the M157 free-rolling axle tire for long-haul, over-the-highway operations. The M157 is U.S. EPA SmartWay-verified and features Toyo Tires’ proprietary e-balance technology.

Toyo says the uniform and consistent tire delivers improved fuel economy while fighting irregular wear. Fuel consumption is reduced by premium, low-rolling resistance compounding in the tread and sidewall. At the same time, a new belt package and 13/32-inch tread depth provides even contact pressure distribution across the tread surface resulting in smooth wear and long life.

Toyo’s “deep differential groove” design minimizes irregular wear. Stone ejector grooves minimize stone retention to help maintain casing integrity for a long service life.

Four sizes are available in the Toyo M157: 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 11R24.5 and 285/75R24.5. For more information visit www.toyotires.com.
