Toyo bought over Silverstone factory. The factory in the picture is another one which is nearby. Was driving to Simpang, waze took me through Industrial area then saw this factory. As far as I know they are producing for export also. T1-R if not mistaken is produced here already.

I wonder what factor caused the frequent rain... Maybe because of the mountain areas and the ground level...

Which means there are two Toyo factories?

I don't see a lot of Toyo tyres on the road neither do I see many Toyo shops. But somehow, factory got two and so close with each other. Hope they at least make R1-R so next time can buy it at cheaper price.

Found this. New Factory is their largest outside of Japan....
Toyo Tyre Malaysia Sdn Bhd was established in Taiping, Malaysia on April 12, 2011 following the acquisition of Silverstone Berhad.

On May 8, 2013, Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd. Chairman, Mr Kenji Nakakura officiated the Toyo Tyre Malaysia Factory Completion Ceremony – a traditionally important event to mark a major accomplishment before commencement of operations.

The state-of-the-art tyre facility costing RM800 million sited on a 148-acre site in Kawasan Perindustrian Kamunting Raya, Kamunting, Taiping produces world-class performance and high quality tyres for passenger car, MPV and SUV / 4 x 4 tyres. It is equipped with the latest manufacturing equipment and uses Toyo Tires’ most advanced technologies – T-Mode and Advanced Tyre Operation Module (A.T.O.M) a highly flexible and automated production system that maintains consistency of product quality at all times, during the manufacturing process.

Toyo Tyre Malaysia’s flagship manufacturing facility is headed by its managing director, Mr Kanji Kasai and is primed to be the largest outside Japan for Toyo Tires, when it reaches full capacity. The factory will produce 2.5 million tyres that will double to 5 million tyres in 2015 and exported to Southeast Asian countries, Middle East, Europe and the US.

The Malaysian tyre facility is strategic in Toyo Tires’ global expansion plan and is an integral component of Toyo Tires’ Mid-Term Business Plan where a global optimal supply system based on its three-region world of Japan, North America and Asia will produce and supply 45 million tyres in 2015.

Too bad no mention of what tyre model is manufactured here. But surely the entry and mid range level will be made there.

 

[vr2turbo]

I know their NanoEnergy3, C1-S and T1-R are now manufactured here already....

I thought it was something like PS3 from its thread patterns.

Nope, look closely they have very fine pattern. The one like PS3 is the T-1 Sports

 

[lsm1991]

haha very likely going lah, was gona ask you, mana tempat makan ke menarik or what to do in ipoh

Now that I compared between them, I see the differences already. However if T-1 Sports and PS3, then they are very similar.

Family trip of you come by your own? Nowadays, Ipoh is not like few years ago. Got traffic jam already on city area especially Ipoh old town area where the famous street art is located and those other famous eating places. Normal weekend also slightly jam, if public holiday, will be worse but still better than KL.

What you want to eat? If want to drink original old town white coffee, go to Nam Heong at old town. Not the fancy looking franchise but the original shop. If you want to eat the famous taugeh ayam (nga choi kai), then go to Onn Kee which is beside Lou Wong.

As for what to do in Ipoh, there is basically nothing special to do. Most people come to Ipoh to look at street arts, go to caves, eat, relax. Recently, a famous tourist spot would be Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village. It is like a park with various traditional items to see. I'll attach a pic of that place here.
