In general, in long haul the most frequent reason tires are removed from service is when the tread compound is worn. Therefore, to eliminate it, Toyo uses cutting edge technologies to design a wear/heat resistant rubber compound. Let's meet the Toyo M677. This model is a SmartWay verified drive position tire for long and short distance haul services.
Toyo M677 comes with a specialized tread compound shaped into an optimized pattern. It features the best combination between mileage and performance. Closed shoulder blocks coupled with aggressive center blocks deliver confident traction and high resistance to lateral forces in regional applications. Due to its unique shoulder design, the tire provides a lower cost per mile in short and long distance services. A computer optimized pattern with 28/32" tread depth extends mileage and increases casing protection. While the four circumferential grooves expel efficient water, mud, and slush to increase road grip. In the production of this tire, engineers use an E-balance technology and SmartWay technology. As a result, these help to combat the growth of the tread profile, but also decrease fuel usage.
Toyo M677 is present on the US market in numerous premium sizes in both 22.5" and 24.5" wheel diameters with 14 or 16-ply ratings, depending on the tire size. It is a default drive tire option for many logistic companies. This model is the best when is fitted on sleeper cab tractors like Mack Anthem, Volvo VNL, or Freightliner Cascadia.
