Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has introduced the M156, an all-position urban and regional medium truck tire.
Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Toyo M154, the new Toyo M156 features a four-rib pattern and a new patented buttress sidewall design that ensures even pressure distribution.
In addition, the Toyo M156 is a SmartWay-pending tire and has a high-elongation top belt, wider belt package and new carcass profile to minimize the growth of the tread profile and reduce strain at the bead and belt edges.
Other tire features include a center groove design with angled groove walls and stone ejectors to reduce irregular wear and tearing and minimize stone retention.
"Toyo remains committed to developing commercial tires that deliver reliable performance and help minimize costs for our customers,” says David Demo, product manager of commercial truck tires, Toyo Tire U.S.A.
“The upgraded features in the M156 urban and regional all-position tire provide significant improvements in longevity and fuel efficiency that meet the demands of today’s modern fleets.”
The new tire will come in 19.5-, 22.5- and 24.5-inch sizes and will be available in July 2024.
