Toyo Tire USA Corp announces a new US EPA SmartWay-verified drive tire, the Toyo M650, has been added to its commercial tire line-up. The M650 is designed for regional haul service and higher-torque operating conditions. Its design and construction provide excellent traction and even wear while meeting EPA standards for low rolling resistance.
The M650 was developed using the company’s proprietary E-balance technology, which optimizes design to offer extended casing life, exceptional durability, and reduced fuel consumption.
Performance and durability are also enhanced by tread design and construction. The rib/lug pattern has a deep tread depth of 28/32" for optimum performance in both wet and dry conditions, while tie bars on the shoulder bridge help reduce tread block movement. Four-steel-belt construction braces the tread area for improved mileage, while providing resistance to irregular wear and contributing to reduced rolling resistance.
Operators will also appreciate the extended casing life and retreadability of the M650, thanks to an advanced casing design and unique compounding. This new SmartWay-verified drive radial will fit 22.5-inch wheels.
In addition to the new M650 premium drive radial for regional haul service, Toyo Tires offers these SmartWay-verified products: the M144 regional steer tire; the M177 steer tire for regional to long-haul; the M137 steer tire for long-haul; the M657 drive tire for regional to long-haul; and the M157 trailer position free-rolling tire.
