Toyo Tires Observe Studless Winter Tire

The Toyo Observe GSi-6 is a studless performance winter tire. It is built for traction, cornering and braking in snow, ice, slush and cold wet or dry pavement. It is designed for passenger cars, sport coupes, sedans, and some CUVs and SUVs. Use it as a dedicated winter tire or snow tire.

Key Features:

• High-grip silica tread compound: Gives traction on snow and ice. It also improves wet grip and braking in low temperatures.
• Microbit Technology: Ground walnut shells in the compound dig and bite into snow and ice for extra traction. The material is natural and environmentally friendly.
• Absorbent carbonic powder: This bamboo-derived powder helps absorb the thin film of moisture on icy roads. That improves contact and grip.
• Aggressive tread design: Large paired inner tread blocks improve traction and braking. A serrated stability rib improves snow traction and adds stability.
• Advanced sipe technology: Adds biting edges that improve snow and ice traction, ice braking, cornering and stability.
• Directional tread pattern: Staggered tread blocks help maximize traction and handling. They also help reduce road noise for a more comfortable ride.

The GSi-6 builds on the ice and snow traction of the Observe GSi-5 and Observe Garit KX. It adds improved wet performance and stability. It is a studless design, so it does not use metal studs. Toyo designed it for winter conditions, not for year-round use.
