MICROBIT
TECHNOLOGY 
It’s like driving with thousands of tiny steel spikes
on your tire.
That’s because Toyo’s revolutionary
Microbit technology actually has thousands of finely ground
walnut shell particles embedded into the tire compound.
It’s the positive aspects of studded
tires that inspired our Toyo Observe passenger tire series.
One of the world’s hardest substances,
walnut shells actually dig into ice and snow like miniature
steel spikes, providing exceptionalgripping power and handling
in treacherous winter driving conditions. All with minimal
tire and road surface wear.
 EXCEEDS
TRANSPORT CANADA"S PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The result is a standard of performance in severe winter  conditions
that’s certified by Transport Canada. Which means you’ll
be in better control when the weather gets really nuts.
GET GROOVED ON ICE AND SNOW
In addition to our revolutionary Microbit technology, our Observe
Series light truck winter tires have thousands of traction
groves in the actual tread block.
These
"traction sipes" act like tiny squeegees that wipe
away the water film on the ice, giving you better contact and
therefore more bite on ice and snow.
 The
tread blocks are ingeniously designed to allow smooth movement
of snow and slush when you're rolling, while the wider trailing
edge provides greater resistance for braking and steering.
 Toyo's
unique tread design incorporates thousands of sipes to maximize
grip-generating "squeegee" effect as the rubber
surface grabs the snow.
Our traction sipes are either waved or
closed at each end to maintain multi-directional stability
and strength, so you get superior traction and handling. |
