Toyo Tire U.S.A. announces a 19.5-in., size expansion for its Toyo M671A regional drive tire. The newest size addition further broadens Toyo Tire’s M671A commercial tire application for urban and regional fleets, the company says, including 225/70R19.5 G/14 and 245/70R19.5 H/16 sizes available April 1.
The M671A 19.5-in., provides superior traction, exceptional fuel efficiency, and excellent wear life. Improved tread compounds developed through the company’s proprietary Nano Balance Technology contribute to these desirable features.
In addition, the M671A incorporates Toyo Tires’ advanced e-balance design, which the company says maintains the tread profile of the tire while reducing strain at the bead area and belt edge for greater stability and longevity under heavy loads. It also features an optimized wide tread pattern with 3D sipes that provide even contact pressure, increased traction, and reduces irregular wear for longer tire life.
The combination of a high elongation top belt and stone ejectors help protect the casing from cuts and damage providing excellent retreadability. Advanced tread and sidewall compounds provide increased fuel efficiency, the company adds.
“The new 19.5-inch sizes for the M671A regional drive tire provide a broader range in options for the ever-growing final mile delivery segment,” says Dave Johnston, senior product manager, commercial truck tires, Toyo Tire U.S.A. “Greater stability is provided through a closed shoulder with an extra durable sidewall for city hazards, while delivering outstanding traction for inclement weather.”
Toyo says the M671A regional drive tire includes both 19.5-in., and 22.5-in., sizes in five SKUs: 225/70R19.5 G/14, 245/70R19.5 H/16, 295/75R22.5 G/14, 11R22.5 G/14, and 11R22.5 H/16.
