Toyo Tires to Host Vehicle Debuts, Celebrity Signings at 2018 SEMA Show

Take a sneak peek at what Toyo Tires will display and the events it is sponsoring at the 2018 SEMA Show.

Toyo Tires has plenty to see at next week’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas, both in its display located at the South Hall entrance (Booth #62122) and at the Toyo Tires Treadpass located between the Central and South Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The 2018 SEMA Show, which takes place in Las Vegas from Oct. 30-Nov. 2, will be where Toyo will show off the show’s top vehicle builds up-close, meet celebrities and have a chance to collect limited-edition pins.

Every day at the top of each hour, Toyo will give away limited-edition pins in their booth outside the entrance to the South Hall and in the Toyo Tires Treadpass. There are 10 pins in all, each one representing a custom vehicle on display with Toyo Tires at the show.

Ken Block, known for his award-winning viral video franchise of Gymkhana films, will make an appearance on Tuesday, Oct. 30 from 11 a.m. to noon, and Wednesday, Oct. 31 from 3–4 p.m. at Toyo’s booth. Block will sign a special, limited-edition piece featuring a vehicle from Gymkhana Ten and meet fans. TV star Courtney Hansen, host of the History Channel’s upcoming show “The Ride that Got Away,” will meet fans and sign autographs from 1:30–2:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the Toyo Tires Treadpass area.

Winners of the Toyo Tires SEMA Top Build will be announced on Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the Toyo Tires Treadpass. Vehicles will be on display throughout the 2018 SEMA Show equipped with Toyo tires. Two prizes will be awarded: a Best Toyo Tires SEMA Car Build and a Best Toyo Tires SEMA Truck/SUV Build. Each winner will receive $5,000, a Toyo Tires trophy and will be featured on Toyo Tires’ social channels.

In addition to displaying the full line of Toyo Tires products, the tiremaker’s exhibits will also have the world debuts for many top vehicles in the show, including a fully custom Chevy Bel Air, a full-tilt McLaren 720S, and a vehicle project, which will be announced on Oct 24.
