Tire for SUVs and crossovers Toyo Open Country A43 belongs to the High Terrain category. It is characterized by improved traction properties on slippery roads. The manufacturer recommends it for use throughout the year. In motion, it demonstrates comfortable handling, quiet and smooth ride, and good fuel economy for such products.
The tread pattern is non-directional with a symmetrical arrangement of elements. The blocks are distributed along the longitudinal rows and are connected by special "bridges". This significantly reduces rolling resistance and uneven wear, increases handling precision and directional stability at high speeds. Long narrow slits are present on all blocks. They additionally enhance traction properties and resistance to aquaplaning on wet roads.
The blocks located on the edges of the tread are enlarged in size and have a trapezoidal shape in the lateral projection. This increases their resistance to deformation, which improves the stability of traction properties during maneuvering and braking. Here, it is necessary to note the optimized profile of the entire tread area. Regardless of the driving mode, it allows maintaining the maximum possible contact patch size. This significantly enhances traction and improves vehicle handling convenience.
Key features of Toyo Open Country A43
- rigid fixation of blocks with "bridges" and their distribution along the longitudinal rows reduces rolling resistance and wear, increases directional stability and handling precision;
- improved traction properties on wet roads due to numerous lamellas with elongated edges;
- enlarged blocks on the edges of the tread increase stability during maneuvering, reduce braking distance, and increase acceleration intensity on slippery surfaces.
