What Toyo Tire makes

Toyo Tire Corporation produces tires and automotive rubber parts across two reported business segments. The tire segment, which accounts for the majority of revenue, covers passenger vehicle, light truck, and truck-and-bus tires sold under two global brands: Toyo Tires and Nitto Tire. The automotive parts segment produces anti-vibration rubber, including mounts, isolators, and dampers, primarily through a manufacturing subsidiary in Guangzhou, China.

The Toyo brand is organized around distinct performance families. The Open Country line covers light truck and SUV applications: the M/T and R/T for off-road use, the A/T III and a dedicated A/T III EV variant for all-terrain work on electric vehicles, and the H/T II and Q/T for on-highway duty. The Proxes line addresses performance and sports applications, including the Proxes Sport, Proxes Sport A/S+, and Proxes ST III, plus the Celsius Sport for year-round performance in cold climates. Nitto Tire, a wholly owned brand within the group, runs a parallel line-up across terrain, sport, and commercial segments targeting the US aftermarket in particular.

The company also supplies tires to automotive OEMs as original equipment, placing tires on new vehicles at the assembly stage. The US plant in White, Georgia operates as a dedicated manufacturing entity, Toyo Tire North America Manufacturing, Inc., and handles production for the North American market.

Financial performance

Toyo Tire reported net sales of approximately 594.9 billion yen for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, a record high, up roughly 5.2% in yen terms from the prior year. Per the Berylls by AlixPartners automotive sector study, EUR-denominated revenue was approximately EUR 3.5 billion for FY2025, a 2.1% increase from the EUR 3.45 billion reported for FY2024, with the difference between yen and euro growth rates reflecting yen/euro movement over the period. Operating income reached 97.4 billion yen, also a record, producing an operating income margin of approximately 16.4%. The FY2024 operating income margin, per the company's own integrated report materials, was approximately 16.6%.

The company employed 10,702 people on a consolidated basis, including temporary employees, as of December 31, 2025, per its own published corporate data. Toyo Tire is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under the ticker 5105 and has been public since 1969. The board of directors includes five outside directors and three outside auditors.

In August 2026, Toyo Tire cut its full-year operating income forecast after weak tire markets, higher costs, and a computer system disruption reduced first-half operating income. Management stated it expected recovery in the second half.
