Features and Benefits
Excellent Low-Noise Touring Performance
The newly designed unidirectional tread pattern offer a comfortable ride
by decreasing pattern noise dramatically when compared with ordinary touring
tire. Five variable pitches of tread block are applied and this help in
realizing lower pattern noise by optimal arrangement for the various pitch
blocks. Moreover Toyo's unique computer simulation system for analyzing
pattern noise is utilized during the design stage for best modification
of tread pattern. Proxes TPT's Low-Noise Performance is realized by combining
the effects of this design method.
Superb Water Drainage Performance
The unidirectional tread pattern, which has optimal groove arrangement and
angle, provides superb water drainage performance. The newly developed computer
simulation system for flow of water in contact patch is utilized for tread
pattern arrangement. This has led to good water drainage and a decrease
in the dangers of hydro-planing occurring.
Impressive Appearance of both Tread and Sidewall Design
The newly designed tread pattern and sidewall were designed to match the
demanding characteristics of luxury sedans and to realize both a sporty
and luxury image. The unidirectional tread pattern formed by the combination
of gentle curved slit and sipe give off a stylish and elegant look.
