Toyo tire gets SmartWay approval

Mar 25, 2010

The Toyo M154 tire is now EPA SmartWay verified as a steer tire when used in a set on a rig equipped with the company’s M657 drive tire and M127 free-rolling tire for trailer axles. Two rolling resistance tires are available, the M154 for regional trucking and the M137 for long-haul applications.

The M154 is manufactured using Toyo Tires’ e-balance technology, which focuses on a stiffer belt package and stiffer bead construction. The five-rib M154 has a full 22/32-inch tread depth.
