Toyo introduces the newest SUV tyre to the line of luxury tyres, the all-season Versado CUV. The Versado CUV is designed specifically for the crossover vehicle category, and is equipped with features that enhance handling, stability and fuel efficiency. It’s available in 13 sizes to fit 17-inch through 20-inch diameter wheels.

The Versado CUV features Toyo’s proprietary Silent Wall™ technology, which utilises thousands of vertical serrations along the walls of the circumferential tread grooves to significantly reduce “pipe resonance”. It also features an asymmetric, non-directional tread with multi-wave sipes. Combined, these features provide a smooth, comfortable and quiet ride throughout the life of the tyre.

Wear resistance and effective all-season performance make the Versado CUV an ideal fit for the crossover vehicle category. It features a new rolling-resistant compound making it a fuel-efficient tyre. Computer-optimised casing, and a large block and rib design improve the distribution of tread pressure to the road surface, for enhanced handling and stability. In wet driving conditions, four wide circumferential grooves evacuate water while open lateral slits, and multi-slant grooves improve drainage.

The Versado CUV will be available in January 2011
