Toyo Tires has introduced the new M657 on-highway drive axle position tire for commercial vehicles. This new tire is a U.S. EPA SmartWay verified tire and is designed for long haul, highway applications while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
According to Toyo, the M657 was developed using Toyo Tires’ e-balance technology that includes a stiffer belt package, stiffer bead construction and optimization through simulation technology. The company claims this technology improves tire life, endurance, irregular wear resistance and improved fuel consumption.
The M657 is suitable for single and twin drive-axle applications and features a 28/32 in. tread depth. Inside the M657 is a high-tensile rust and fatigue resistant body ply cord designed for long service life through multiple retreads. The G-rated M657 is available in four sizes: 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 11R24.5 and 285/75R24.5.
