KLEEMANN / TOYO advertisements

TOYO Tires, a technology partner of KLEEMANN worldwide, has launched a series of advertisements featuring KLEEMANN cars. The WRC ML55 ad is appearing in Automibile magazine this month, while the W209 CLK ad will appear in Star, Automobile and European Car through the summer.

Look forward to KLEEMANN articles feturing TOYO tires in Car and Driver, European Car and Truck Trends over the next few months.

Why not Toyo? The T1-S is an awesome tire.

KLEEMANN is a "different" company- always doing things a little bit better and outside the norm (at least I like to think so). Pirelli and Brdigestone are already the darlings of too many others.

TOYO offers outstanding tires for high performance use- why not join with them to promote both brands?

Toyo

Actually i'm not saying anything bad about Toyo. Toyo is a very good tire mfg. Again just curious how Kleemann picked them instead of the others that's all.

Congrats on the new association Brandon. Well, even though I have limited experience with Toyos', at least I'm a proud sponsor of the kick-as* performance products you guys offer!

Best of luck,

Joe

BTW, she is still running great and fast as hell

Agreed.
It's hard to beat the T1-S. The T1-S is what Audi uses on their Speedvision World Challenge GT car and they keep coming in first. Sounds like a good choice to me.

Great Ads and cool partnership, I too have heard great things about the Toyo T1-S. I may get a set. Wish discounters like Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct sold them.

Kleemann has picked up Toyo and Renntech has picked up Nitto.
