All-season Toyo Open Country A19 tire is designed for crossovers. The High Terrain model demonstrates almost all its strong points on asphalt roads, and thanks to the use of modern technologies, it has a decent performance on unpaved surfaces. In addition, it is worth noting the possibility of using the tire in winter.
Productive in any weather conditions tread pattern
When developing the tire, much attention was paid to ensuring maximum performance in any weather conditions. That's why it was equipped with a tread with a non-directional symmetric pattern. The classic solution used for decades has been improved with modern technologies. One of the main changes was a significant increase in the number of gripping edges. This was achieved by reducing the size of the tread elements. In addition, the surfaces formed by them are arranged in different directions, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the tread, especially on surfaces with a low coefficient of friction.
Comfortable handling and low noise
On the move, the tire demonstrates comfortable handling and a soft quiet ride. These features are provided by the design of the shoulder areas. Their profile has a rounded shape, which reduces the speed of transmission of transverse accelerations to the power elements of the frame, as well as significantly dampens the vibrations that occur when driving over small irregularities.
Increased efficiency on unpaved surfaces
Another feature of the tire's tread is the design of the blocks in the shoulder areas. Their outer side, facing the sidewall, contains a rectangular protrusion. When moving on unpaved and snowy surfaces with low bearing capacity, they enhance grip with them, forming a multitude of additional edges.
Sipe system
In each tread block, at least one sipe is cut, but most have two such elements. Each of them forms a gripping edge that allows the tire to better grip the slippery surface. At the same time, all sipes have a wavy shape. It limits the transverse mobility of the blocks, which has a positive effect on handling, and also gives the reactions to steering wheel turns additional speed and accuracy.
Reinforced breaker
Another distinctive feature of the tire's design is the breaker's design. It has been reinforced with an additional cord. This element is a nylon mesh that occupies the entire surface just under the tread. Such a "substrate" has excellent resistance to deformation, which improves a number of important operational properties. These include stability and directional stability at high speeds, fuel efficiency, and resistance to uneven wear.
