TOYO TIRES
Toyo Tires has experienced remarkable growth in the U.S. market, with GearShift's principals playing a pivotal role in developing advertising strategies that significantly contributed to this success. Over a span of seven years, Toyo transformed from a $400 million niche tire brand into a $1 billion high-performance powerhouse, solidifying its position as a major industry player. This growth was driven by an integrated marketing approach that leveraged our team's deep expertise in the automotive and motorsports sectors. Our efforts encompassed digital and broadcast advertising, print campaigns, and collateral development, covering Toyo Tires' entire product range. This includes tires for passenger cars and minivans, light trucks and SUVs, crossovers, sports cars, luxury sedans, competition vehicles, and commercial trucks. Each category required a tailored strategy to ensure that Toyo's messaging resonated with the target audience, effectively communicating the brand's commitment to performance, durability, and reliability.



At the heart of Toyo Tires' brand identity is a dedication to serious driving enthusiasts who demand high-performance tires that offer superior handling, control, and longevity. GearShift's extensive experience in motorsports and the automotive industry was instrumental in crafting messages that connected with Toyo's target audience, reinforcing the brand's reputation as the preferred choice for discerning drivers. As the demand for high-performance tires in the U.S. continues to rise, particularly in the replacement market, Toyo is strategically positioned for sustained success. Notably, tires rated H and higher now account for 38.2% of aftermarket tire shipments, reflecting a growing consumer preference for premium performance products.

The partnership between Toyo Tires and GearShift remains strong, and we are excited to continue collaborating on innovative marketing initiatives that drive brand awareness, foster consumer loyalty, and promote further business growth. As Toyo Tires evolves and broadens its reach, we are committed to leveraging our strategic expertise to help the brand maintain its competitive edge and connect with an even wider audience of passionate drivers. With a promising future ahead, Toyo Tires is well-positioned to build on its success and further establish itself as a leader in the high-performance tire industry.


Today, Toyo Tires stands as North America's sixth-largest tire manufacturer in terms of new tire sales, achieving over $1.5 billion in revenue and securing a 4% market share. This impressive accomplishment underscores the brand's ability to adapt, innovate, and continually engage with its customer base. GearShift is proud to have been part of Toyo's journey, contributing to the brand's expansion and increasing market presence.
