New compound upgrade for Toyo’s long-haul and regional truck tires

Toyo Tires has announced a new compound upgrade to increase the mileage of three existing long-haul and regional truck tires: the Toyo M171+, M671A+ and M677+.

The improved compound is designed to maximize mileage while maintaining low rolling resistance and traction.

The M677+ is a four-groove long-haul drive tire for long to regional haul operations. Built with a deep tread, it is designed to maximize mileage and fuel efficiency and deliver great traction, and meets SmartWay requirements

“Toyo Tires’ goal is to provide commercial products that deliver performance, durability and a better cost per mile, which adds to the customer’s bottom line,” said David Demo, product manager of commercial truck tires at Toyo.

The compound improvements will be applied to 14 sizes, including the 22.5-inch sizes for M171+ and M671A+, and the 22.5-inch and 24.5-inch sizes for M677+.
