This year's TOYO TIRES exhibition booth will showcase products including a cross-section model of PROXES CF1 TOYO RUN FLAT tire which can continue to perform even after a puncture, PROXES R1R, the genuine sports radial, scheduled for a full-scale roll-out across Europe from now on, and OPEN COUNTRY M/T, the immensely popular off-road tire. Toyo Tire & Rubber intends to pursue its distinctive branding strategy for the enhancement of its market recognition and brand image not only in the Benelux region but also throughout Europe through this event.
