The all-season tire Toyo Open Country A32 is part of the factory equipment of the Mitsubishi Pajero 2016 model year. From the original version, this model differs in size range, as well as minor changes in design and composition of the rubber compound. All of them are aimed at adapting the operational properties of the tire to the technical characteristics of this Japanese SUV.
Rounded shoulder areas
Not least, the choice of the Japanese car manufacturer in favor of this tire is due to the design of the tread pattern. It features an asymmetric and non-directional design, which includes many non-trivial solutions. One of them is the rounded shape of the shoulder areas of the tread. Their profile is selected in such a way as to provide smooth reactions to steering wheel turns without compromising other operational properties, and at the same time reduce the level of noise and vibrations during movement.
Multiple lamellas
Among other features of the tread of this model, it is worth noting the small size of the blocks. And almost every one of them has lamellas cut in. These miniature elements, when in contact with the road surface, form numerous edges. They help the tread to grip the slippery surface much better, which improves the tire's performance in difficult weather conditions.
Frame adapted to Mitsubishi Pajero
When developing this model, some design features of the Mitsubishi Pajero were taken into account. First of all, it is the significant weight of the SUV, due to which the Japanese tire manufacturers had to significantly increase the carrying capacity of the tire. It is provided by the reinforced design of the frame and breaker, which received an additional cord. Since in both cases it is made of synthetic materials, such reinforcement of the design did not practically affect the weight of the tire and, as a consequence, its driving properties.
A.T.O.M. technology
In the process of creating the tire, the A.T.O.M. technology was applied. This software and hardware complex for the development of tire products allows you to select the optimal combination of design elements, which provides the best balance of operational properties. As an example of its presence, it is worth citing the level of acoustic comfort. With a very large number of individual elements, the tread generates an unusually small amount of noise and vibrations, which favorably distinguishes this tire from most direct competitors.
Performance on any surface
This model belongs to the All Terrain category, which means it can be used on asphalt and any type of unpaved surface, regardless of weather conditions. Universality is provided by the design of the tread pattern and the characteristics of the rubber compound. The tread contains many blocks, with the most massive ones located in the shoulder areas, and the smallest ones in the central part. In turn, the compound is characterized by its ability to maintain elasticity at low temperatures, while providing the tread with resistance to wear in warm weather.
Main features of the Toyo Open Country A32 tire
