Toyo Tires Introduces the All-new Toyo M156 Urban & Regional All-position Tire
Toyo Tire Canada Inc. introduces the all-new Toyo®M156™ urban and regional all-position commercial tire. This SmartWay® tire delivers long, even wear and excellent fuel efficiency. Building upon its successful predecessor (the M154™), it features key advancements to maximize removal miles, fuel efficiency, retreadability and casing durability for a high return on investment, while providing excellent performance and safety.
The M156 tire boasts several upgraded features to achieve maximum removal miles, including a four-rib pattern and new patented buttress sidewall design that ensure even pressure distribution on the centre and outer ribs of the contact patch, reducing irregular wear. A centre 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.
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 new M156 commercial tire sizes will be produced in 19.5, 22.5, and 24.5-inch wheel diameters and will be available starting in March 2025. To learn more about Toyo’s commercial tires, visit toyotires.ca/tires/commercial/medium-truck
