Toyota Celica Tires

Toyota’s Celica sports coupe was introduced in the early 70s and has gone through a lot of changes over the years. Over its seven generations, the Celica made its way from being a fairly pedestrian economy coupe to becoming much more sporty, stylish, and performance-oriented, racking up a fairly notable motorsports track record along the way. Later iterations of the Celica were loaded with Toyota’s latest tech advances, and powered by a high-output 192 horsepower 1.8L 4-cylinder. The Celica’s last generation model debuted in 1999 and featured extensive weight savings and performance upgrades, with Toyota’s TRD division offering a package that included lower ride height, suspension tuning, aerodynamics, exhaust mods, and an engine with 14 more hp, but the writing was on the wall for the Celica in a declining sports-coupe market. The Celica was discontinued in 2006; its last generation was available in GT, ST, GTS, and Supra trim levels.

Toyo’s innovative design for the Extensa A-S II includes tread ribs that are optimized to even out stress and pressure across the tire’s tread face for more uniform wear along with improved cornering and braking performance. Wet-weather traction is enhanced with wide circumferenti
