Toyo Tire Canada has introduced the Toyo M156 urban and regional all-position commercial tire. This SmartWay tire delivers long, even wear and excellent fuel efficiency, according to a company news release.

It features advancements to maximize removal miles, fuel efficiency, retreadability, and casing durability, while providing performance and safety. 

The M156 boasts several upgraded features, including a four-rib pattern and new patented buttress sidewall design that ensure even pressure distribution on the center and outer ribs of the contact patch, reducing irregular wear. A center groove design with angled groove walls and stone ejectors also helps resist irregular wear and tearing, minimize stone retention to protect the casing, while the outer grooves feature a stabilizer rib to prevent rib flex, promoting even tread wear.

The company says long-lasting, low rolling resistance is achieved with specialized cap, base, and sidewall compounds combined with Toyo’s e-balance technology.

These compounds and technology, along with a high-elongation top belt, wider belt package, and a new carcass profile all help minimize the growth of the tread profile and reduce strain at the bead and belt edges, enabling the tire to maintain a uniform, flatter tread radius, which enhances fuel efficiency, turning stability, casing durability, and wear resistance in high-scrub environments.

The M156 will be produced in 19.5, 22.5, and 24.5-inch wheel diameters and will be available starting in March.
