The name of the summer tire for passenger cars Toyo Cft is an abbreviation composed of the first letters of the phrase Cross Functional Tire. It is positioned by the Japanese company as a multifunctional tire that is at the intersection of two classes - summer and winter models. It stands out for its ability to maintain reliable vehicle control on roads in snowy conditions, i.e. without a formed snowy surface. The developers managed to preserve the "brand" features of the tires of this brand - reduced rolling resistance, fuel efficiency, high mileage, and a shortened braking distance on dry and wet roads.
The tire is designed based on the models of the Eco Walker line, using the same frame, which is a multi-layer synthetic cord, the winding technology of which does not imply the formation of seams and joints. The fibers are arranged at a certain angle relative to the direction of movement, which increases the stability of the frame to deformation. The final result of this solution was a significant reduction in rolling resistance, along with improved handling and braking properties. The next significant difference between the tire was the pattern of its tread, made in an asymmetrical design. It stands out for the presence of a large number of lamellas, arranged in such a way as to maximally extend the edges formed by them. This allows the tire to demonstrate excellent traction and braking, both on wet and snowy surfaces. It is worth noting the presence of numerous transverse grooves, many of which, due to their shape and increased width, are able to effectively drain not only water but also its heavy mixture with snow from under the tire, ensuring reliable control in adverse weather conditions. Another feature that improves the efficiency of the tire in such conditions is the rubber compound. Its composition is largely borrowed from winter models of the brand, which allows the tread to maintain elasticity at temperatures significantly below zero, improving traction and coupling properties, including on snowy surfaces.
Key features of Toyo CFt:
- improved grip on wet and snowy surfaces due to the tread pattern with an increased number of blocks, lamellas, and grooves;
- optimized frame reduces wear and fuel consumption, improves handling and traction;
- the rubber compound from the brand's winter models maintains elasticity at low temperatures, ensuring reliable control in adverse weather conditions.
