Toyo Tires said its new M157 free-rolling axle tire for long haul, over the highway operations is U.S. EPA SmartWay-verified and features the tire maker’s proprietary e-balance technology. The result is a uniform and consistent tire that delivers improved fuel economy while fighting irregular wear, according to the company.

Fuel consumption is reduced by premium, low rolling resistance compounding in the tread and sidewall, the tire maker said. At the same time, a new belt package and 13/32-in. tread depth provides even contact pressure distribution across the tread surface, resulting in smooth wear and long life. A Deep Differential Groove design also minimizes irregular wear while stone ejector grooves minimize stone retention to help maintain casing integrity for a long service life, the company added. Four sizes are available in the Toyo M157: 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 11R24.5 and 285/75R24.5.
