Toyo Tire (USA) Corp announces its new M-127 free-rolling-axle radial tire for commercial truck applications. The M-127 represents the latest in trailer-specific tire technology developed through Toyo's proprietary DSOC II (Dynamic Simulation Optimized Contact), a computerized simulation of tire behavior under various operational conditions. The M-127 is produced in Toyo's GTY manufacturing plant in Mt Vernon IL. Features include:

  • A full-depth Differential Groove that helps reduce irregular wear on the shoulder ribs.

  • Steel-cord wire-chafer reinforced bead designed to protect the bead from damage.

  • Four-belt construction to protect against cutting and impact breaks.

  • Special compounding and advanced design help to fight against heat and stress and extend casing life.

The wide casing of the M-127 facilitates retreadability. For more details, contact Toyo, PO Box 1145, Cypress CA 90630.
