Toyo Launches 2 New tires
PTS Marketing Sdn Bhd introduced the new Toyo Proxes ST II tire created for today’s SUVs, sport trucks, and the Proxes C1S, specially designed for comfort, luxury and performance cars at a grand launch for its dealers held at Genting Highlands last week.
The fresh design and advanced tread elements of the Proxes ST II is claimed to deliver the perfect balance of style and performance with a luxurious image to take all-season performance handling to a new level.
The Proxes C1S tire is said to be the highest grade premium comfort tire, featuring asymmetric pattern that gives quietness, while providing ride comfort and high speed stability.
Toyo’s Silent Wall technology minimizes noise during operation at highway speeds by using dense, perpendicular serrations located along the main groove walls of the tread. These serrations help disturb the rushing air flow, which normally produces an audible sound known as “pipe resonance”, a condition similar to wind blowing into a flute. As a direct result, both the Proxes ST II and Proxes C1S provide an exceptionally quiet ride.
Tmode® computer design technology by Toyo® results in a tire that is smooth and quiet with improved overall wear characteristics .Another noise reducing feature of the Proxes ST II and Proxes C1S is a “five variable-pitch shoulder.” Essentially, the shoulder block “pitch pattern” repeats every fifth pair of shoulder blocks to suppress harmonics during operation.
The Proxes ST II promises a more consistent wear rate, achieved by using multi-wave sipes that appear as the tire begins to wear, interlocking with one-another to help decrease block movement. Another design element that helps to resist irregular wear is linear grooving located on the tapered edge of the center block. This lowers pressure on the block edge for better wear and improves overall handling.
The Proxes ST 11 has a broad range of sizes fit original equipment and custom wheels, 16 to 26-inches in rim diameter, while the Proxes C1S has the range from 15 to 22-inches with extra load capabilities for heavy luxury sedans.
The Toyo Proxes ST II and Proxes C1S is available June 1st, from authorized Toyo Tires dealers across Malaysia.
