Tuesday, September 13, 2011 Toyo Launches New Observe GSi5
 Toyo Tire Canada Inc. will release the latest addition to their winter passenger tire lineup this fall. Developed specifically for Canadian winters, the Observe GSi5 was designed to perform in snow, slush and icy conditions, while maintaining excellent wear life. It features Toyo Tires’ latest development in Total Control Sipe Technology (TCST) and was created using a new winter compound made partially of environmentally-friendly material.
One of the objectives when designing the Observe GSi5 was to deliver enhanced traction when stopping, starting and cornering in slick winter driving conditions. The Observe GSi5’s new directional tread design features Toyo Tires’
Spider and Swing sipes, which provide added traction in all directions on both snow and ice. A shallower sipe, called First Edge, also provides extra traction when the tire is new. These sipes work in conjunction to form Total Control Sipe Technology. A feature called the Snow Claw, provides added traction in deep snow while also enhancing block rigidity that improves both wet and ice traction.
The new silica compound of the Observe GSi5 provides excellent flexibility at low temperatures and features naturally derived carbonic bamboo powder and Toyo Tires’ Microbit Technology.
