Toyo Open Country WLT1 Light Truck Tire
Toyo's Open Country WLT1 light truck and minivan winter tires have improved winter grip characteristics. They are presented in a wide range of standard sizes, are distinguished by a relatively low price, durability and adaptability to Russian roads of dubious quality.
The block tread design consists of a wide center section and shoulders separated by two longitudinal drainage grooves. The central part consists of blocks of complex polygonal shape, it is responsible for directional stability. The shoulder areas with an open profile are responsible for stability when cornering. The overall tread design provides ample contact area between the rubber and the road, which in turn has a positive effect on the level of grip.
A system of drainage grooves is responsible for water drainage, including longitudinal channels and transverse grooves between blocks. The original shape of some of the grooves with the protrusions prevents small stones from getting stuck in the tread and also improves the performance of the projector on wet and snowy roads. If you look closely at the blocks, you can see small slots on them, located in the transverse direction. These are three-dimensional sipes that improve the grip of rubber on slippery surfaces: rolled snow, ice.
Deep channels not only drain water but also trap snow. Loose snow in the tread grooves improves traction through snow-plus-snow contact. Commercial vehicle tires are subject to severe daily stress. In order for their acquisition to pay off, they must last at least several seasons. The Open Country WLT1 tires have good abrasion resistance so they last longer. Reinforced carcass and special rubber compound extend the life of your tires, making them even more profitable to buy. The relatively inexpensive and high-quality Open Country WLT1 model is a good choice for road transport business owners
Like other Toyos, these tires can handle snow and ice well and at the same time behave quite civilized on asphalt. True, the noise on the highway will be high, but the Toyo has impressive durability.
