Probably owners of single cars don't feel the influence of rolling resistance of the tire, but owners of logistic companies really feel that on their own skin. For drivers seeking fuel efficiency and extended mileage, Toyo produces a special model. Let's meet Extensa A/S II. It is a value-oriented touring all season tire developed for minivans, sedans, hatchbacks, CUVs, and SUVs.
Above all, this tire comes with an advanced silica compound shaped into an optimized five rib pattern with four main grooves between them. These work in tandem to improve all season performance, delivering high grip ability. For safety reasons, Extensa A/S II presents four linear grooves, zigzag voids, and multi wave sipes designed to provide superior water drainage improving traction on wet and slippery surfaces. In the production of this tire, engineers use a unique design with a computer tuned tread pitch. As a result, the ride becomes smoother and quieter by keeping road noise at a minimum. Moving onto the interior part consists of two steel belts combined with a two-ply polyester casing. Moreover, a nylon reinforcement ply improves the tread delivering performance at high speeds.
Toyo Extensa A/S II is designed for the US market in a wide variety of sizes starting from 175/65R14 to 255/50R20. Based on many satisfied clients, it is a great option for sedans, coupes, minivans, and crossovers.
