WINTER TIRES
OPEN COUNTRY G-02 plus

The OPEN COUNTRY G-02 plus offers the best winter tire solution for light trucks, vans and SUV’s looking for traction and control in a tire that takes into consideration the unique load carrying, handling and braking requirements of these types of vehicles.

Serious tread Compound
TOYO improved its Microbit compound and has incorporated this technology into the OPEN COUNTRY G-02 plus tread compound - “P” metric sizes.

Incorporating Lamella crystals in the tread compound helps “vacuum” away moisture from between the tread contact surface and the road. Removal of this water film results in better braking and handling on ice and slippery surfaces. A larger, harder walnut shell grain is used to improve TOYO’s studless technology. The larger walnut shells dig into ice and compacted snow to help provide excellent traction and braking.

G-02 plus TECHNOLOGY

In short, the TOYO G-02 plus is designed to deliver a secure winter ride with added comfort in the worst of Canadian winter conditions.

Lamella crystals help “vacuum” away moisture from under the tread allowing better direct contact between the tire and road surface.

Silica in the tread compound helps rubber retain its softness in low temperature conditions and resists hardening with age.

Improved Microbit Technology increases traction and braking on ice and compacted snow.

Improved Microbit Technology increases traction and braking on ice and compacted snow.

Silica is incorporated into the tread compound to help the tire retain its flexibility in cold temperatures, a requirement for good winter traction.

Serious Tread Design
A unidirectional tread pattern ensures the traction level of the OPEN COUNTRY G-02 plus is fully optimized. High density wave sipes and saw-toothed edge blocks increase edge gripping effect for better all-round handling in snow and on slippery surfaces. Tread design has been optimized on LT sizes to ensure necessary stability and load carrying requirements are not compromised in these more severe applications. In addition, a 2mm interlocking bridge stabilizes the tread blocks to ensure stability under loaded conditions – LT sizes.

Serious Safety
A 10% wider contact area over its predecessor, the GP-4 and large crown radius contribute to improved road contact, increasing traction and braking on ice and compacted snow. Twin shoulder blocks (both square and round) ensure better handling and directional stability. Interlocking tread blocks increase stability during braking and cornering.

Serious Comfort
With the use of TOYO’s super computer technology and design applications (DSOC II) TOYO has been able to optimize the tread pattern arrangement for improved handling and ride comfort. A variable pitch tread design contributes to less tire noise, increasing ride comfort. A high modulus polyester casing and high-tensile steel belts provide excellent handling, stability and durability. Jointless bead wire ensures excellent tire bead to rim contact, enhancing tire uniformity and ride comfort. A rim protector protects expensive alloy rims from damage by curbs or scratching.

Serious Warranty
The OPEN COUNTRY G-02 plus feature TOYO’s famous “Millennium” warranty package including:
- 5 year workmanship and materials warranty
