The COVID pandemic demonstrated to the whole world how important it is to be united and cautious at the same time. Another aspect pointed out by the pandemic related to our field is the role of the transport of goods and food. For long haul application, it is recommended to fit your truck with the right quality tires. Toyo produces an extremely long haul steer tire named the M177. It is the best for steer axles, but is also good for trailer axle services.
When we present this model, we should highlight that it comes with a SmartWay tread compound molded into a five rib pattern. Massive shoulder blocks along with three solid center ribs provide a great steering feel and efficient weight distribution. Between these ribs, there are four linear grooves that expel rapid water and slush, delivering extra road contact with the asphalt for uniform wearing. A revolutionary siping design that incorporates thousands of miniature sipes. As a result, these ensure improved mileage by minimizing irregular wear through efficient heat dissipation. In addition, it also has special decoupling grooves designed to increase durability. Moreover, a special ejector tread reduces stone retention for minimal risk of drilling for maximum casing protection.
Toyo utilizes the e-balance technology to improve tread profile for high mileage and low fuel usage. Light casing construction and the high elongation top belt enhance the tire structure protection. Toyo M177 is present on the US market in a wide range of sizes with 22.5" and 24.5" rim diameters. Many truck drivers claim that it is the best steer axle tire for commercial trucks that makes up to 15,000 to 20,000 miles/month.
