Toyo introduces long haul drive and trailer tires designed for fuel efficiency

Both tires feature low-rolling resistance tread compounds and are EPA SmartWay verified.

Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. launched two fuel-efficient super singles, the NanoenergyM675 long haul drive tire and the NanoenergyM175 long haul trailer tire. Both products feature new low-rolling resistance tread compounds and are EPA SmartWay verified.

The M175 and M675 super singles feature proprietary Nano Balance Technology which contributes to more precisely arranged molecules in the tread compound of the tire. The result is a low-rolling-resistance tread compound that minimizes fuel consumption while improving grip, especially in wet conditions, the company says. The M675 drive tire has a six-groove design and 24/32” tread depth, while the seven-groove M175 free-rolling trailer tire has a tread depth of 13/32”.

These two products also incorporate Toyo Tires’ e-balance technology, which minimizes service growth of the tread profile. The M675 and M175 are amongst the most fuel-efficient in the Toyo Tires commercial tire line-up.

“Fleets are looking to improve fuel efficiency without giving up original tread life," said Mike Graber, director of Toyo commercial tire sales. "The M175 and M675 from Toyo Tires provide both.The result is a lower cost per mile and an improved bottom line for our customers.”
