The Toyo Observe GSi5 winter tire handles snow, slush, ice, or just slippery roads. A variety of sizes are available to fit passenger, light truck, van, or SUV vehicles. Features include:
- Unidirectional Tread Pattern to optimize traction for both braking and acceleration
- "Microbit Technology" consisting of crushed walnut shells embedded in the tire tread compound that dig and bite into the ice surface for improved ice traction.
- Absorbant carbonic power to absorb moisture on the road allowing the tire to better contact the road surface for increased performance.
- "Spider Sipe Technology", which is an advanced multi-directional sipe to ensure maximum grip when you are cornering, accelerating or braking.
- Increased levels of silica and dispersion improvement allows better block flexibility at lower temperatures enhancing wet grip and braking, while maintaining traction in low temperatures.
- Large tread blocks with saw-toothed edges for improved traction in snow and slush when braking or accelerating.
- Wide lateral groves help evacuate slush for better road grip
- Continuous centre rib with swing sipe ensures improved straight line stability while a "wave sipe technology" increases ice traction in all directions.
- "First Edge sipe technology" helps enhance initial traction when tire is new.
- "Arrow Lift technology" helps propel the vehicle through slushy or snowy rutted roads.
