The new Toyota Hilux Travo is equipped with Dunlop tires

Sumitomo Rubber Industries has announced that its Thai subsidiary, Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd., has begun supplying tires for the original equipment of the updated Toyota Hilux pickup truck, which is offered in Thailand under the name Hilux Travo, as the previous version of the vehicle is still available in the country, released as Hilux Revo. 

For the Hilux Travo, the off-road tires Dunlop Grandtrek A/T31 have been approved, which, according to the manufacturer, have a shape, design, and tread pattern optimized for the various uses of the pickup truck, and the developers also aimed to improve the balance between off-road capability, reliability, and comfort. 

A new rubber compound and design have been created for effective performance both off-road and on asphalt, while the variable tread pitch has helped improve acoustic comfort. Additionally, the tires are also designed to improve fuel efficiency and enhance traction on wet roads, adds Sumitomo. 

The tires are supplied in sizes 265/65 R17 and 265/60 R18.
