Which tires are good for you and our planet?
Which tires balance functionality and aesthetics?
Which tires will be best for the vehicles of the future?
We are rethinking the answers to these questions,
to create tires for the current era
through TOYO TIRES technology.
Combining core technologies to shape the future,
THiiiNK is the new intelligent approach underpinning
our tire development.
Amid the accelerated evolution of mobility technologies, including increased uptake of electric vehicles, and advances in autonomous driving and Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) strategies, there is growing demand for more precise and speedy development of automobile tires that satisfy new performance requirements.
Out of a desire to meet these challenges, TOYO TIRES has established a new technological framework, THiiiNK, which integrates our three core technologies of materials, simulation, and design.
Materials technology
“i” for innovating rubber materials through observation, design, and production control at the nano (molecular) level in pursuit of their ideal characteristics.
Simulation technology
“i” for integrating T-MODE, a simulation technology that determines design specifications under diverse operating conditions, with AI technology that uses a wealth of data to achieve high design-process efficiency, targeting the optimal solution for tire design.
Design technology
“i” for inspiring people by integrating functional appeal and visual impact to deliver the joy of driving through intentionality in design as well as in performance.
Nano Balance Technology that caters to next-generation lifestyles
TOYO TIRES proprietary technology enables the observation, design, and production control of rubber materials at the nano (molecular) level, achieving ideal material characteristics.
By integrating the four core areas of analysis, prediction, material design, and processing, this technology achieves a fine balance between two inherently contradictory performance requirements: fuel efficiency and enhanced braking capability.
As a result, it enables the development of tires that combine environmental performance with safety performance.
High performance enabled by T-MODE
In 1987, TOYO TIRES became the first tire manufacturer in Japan to introduce a supercomputer.
Since then, simulation has been positioned at the core of TOYO TIRES technology, driving the company’s proprietary evolution in tire design.
In 2000, TOYO TIRES developed its original design technology, T-mode.
In 2019, this technology evolved into T-MODE, a next-generation simulation technology integrated with AI.
By dramatically enhancing both precision and speed, TOYO TIRES technologies enable tire development that meets the complex and highly advanced demands of next-generation mobility.
Integrating visual impact and performance
Behind the design appeal of tires lies reliable functionality underpinning their capabilities.
TOYO TIRES instills its design intent into each and every tread pattern, combining superior driving performance with refined aesthetics.
By stimulating a visual response and delivering the joy of driving, TOYO TIRES design technology pursues the ideal of functional appeal.
TOYO TIRES has established a new technological framework, THiiiNK,
by integrating three core technologies—materials, simulation, and design
—through the fusion of AI and other advanced technologies with proprietary ideas.
By combining vreative thinking with proprietary technologies,
TOYO TIRES is opening the future of mobility.
