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.

| 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

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

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.

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