Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has added two new 22.5- and 24.5-inch sizes to its Toyo M655 medium truck tire power line.
"This further broadens Toyo Tire’s M655 commercial tire application that currently includes both a 19.5-inch medium truck size suitable for drive and steer applications and 17- and 18-inch sizes for light truck applications," say Toyo officials. "This all-encompassing solution for demanding conditions is built to provide confident traction under heavy load year-round."
The M655 is an all-weather, on- and off-road commercial tire "with durable construction for local and regional operations. A wide, aggressive tread design delivers optimal traction under heavy load on uneven and varying terrain, while a specially designed tread and compound reduces irregular wear, protecting the tire from stone damage for maximum removal miles.
"Including the newly added size expansion, all M655 sizes carry the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake designation to perform in snow and ice for true, year-round reliability. With 17- and 18-inch sizes for light-duty trucks and 19.5-, 22.5-, and 24.5-inch sizes for medium-duty trucks, the M655 power line is a single-stocking solution for fleets servicing the construction, energy, forestry and mining industries."
“Expanding the M655 line-up with the addition of these new medium truck drive tire sizes strengthens its offerings and provides a great solution for mixed-service fleets,” says David Demo, product manager of commercial truck tires, Toyo.
The new M655 on-/off-road commercial tire expansion "includes 19.5-, 22.5-, and 24.5-inch sizes in six sizes, three of which are available now (265/70R19.5 G/14, 11R22.5 H/16, and 11R24.5 H/16) and three that will be available later this year (285/70R19.5 H/16, 295/75R22.5 H/16, and 285/75R24.5 G/14)."
