Toyo Tires announces a 19.5-inch 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, including 225/70R19.5 G/14 and 245/70R19.5 H/16 sizes.
The M671A 19.5-inch provides improved traction, fuel efficiency, and wear life, the company says. Improved tread compounds developed through the company’s proprietary Nano Balance Technology contribute to these desirable features, according to the company.
In addition, Toyo Tires notes that the M671A incorporates the company’s e-balance design which 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 company says.
The combination of a high elongation top belt and stone ejectors help protect the casing from cuts and damage providing excellent retreadability and, according to the company, the advanced tread and sidewall compounds provide increased fuel efficiency.
The M671A regional drive tire includes both 19.5-inch and 22.5-inch 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.
