Toyo Tires, which introduced trailer-specific “shallow tread” tires, announced the new M-127 Free-Rolling-Axle Radial Tire for commercial truck applications. Features include a full-depth differential groove that helps to reduce irregular wear on the shoulder ribs; four-belt construction to protect against cutting and impact breaks; steel-cord wire-chafer reinforced bead to protect the bead from damage; and special compounding and advanced design to fight against heat and stress and extend casing life, Toyo says. The wide casing of the M-127 allows for ease of retreadability.
