Toyo rolls out new long haul truck tire

March 27, 2008

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," say Toyo officials.

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, note Toyo officials.

The M137 is available in two sizes, 295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5.
