Toyo Open Country A19A

The passenger tire for SUVs and crossovers Toyo Open Country A19A is an all-season tire with a number of reservations regarding climatic conditions. It is most suitable for operation in winter time only in the southern regions of our country. North of them, it demonstrates all its numerous advantages only until the first snow. Another feature of this model, which somewhat limits its application, is that it was developed taking into account the specifics of operating modern crossovers, most of which rarely leave paved roads.

Increased number of tread edges

The tread pattern of this model has a fairly open design, containing many separate elements. A significant part of them is located in the central part, where three longitudinal ribs are formed from them. For better directional stability, handling and fuel efficiency, all blocks are located very close to each other in parallel with the direction of movement. That's why they demonstrate the greatest efficiency on wet asphalt, on which the tire has excellent traction properties.

Wide shoulder areas of Toyo Open Country A19A

In contrast to the central part of the tread, the shoulder areas of the Toyo Open Country A19A have a closed design, thanks to rigid bridges connecting the numerous blocks into a single structural element. This minor solution has allowed to significantly improve several very important operational properties at once. One of them is the optimization of the distribution of external pressure on the contact patch. It, in turn, has a practically square shape due to the small radius of the tread profile. As a result, the tire demonstrates stable traction in any conditions on the one hand, and increased resistance to uneven wear on the other. Another advantage of such a shoulder area design is excellent maneuverability and a shortened braking distance. It is provided by numerous transverse tread edges formed by blocks, as well as their rigidity, which was achieved thanks to the above-mentioned bridges between them.

Main features:

- small blocks in the central part of the Toyo Open Country A19A improve longitudinal traction properties on wet roads;
- wide blocks of shoulder areas connected by rigid bridges provide increased maneuverability, stable traction properties when braking, as well as prevent uneven wear;
- low noise level, due to the multi-step arrangement of tread blocks, as well as the closed design of the shoulder areas.
