Toyo Tires will bring its Treadpass exhibit back to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nov. 3-6, with 27 custom vehicles making their world debuts. Set between the Central and South Halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the 2026 edition marks the 13th year of the activation, which gives top builders a stage to present their work to show attendees.
The lineup ranges from a race-inspired 1979 Porsche 935 with a 637-horsepower electric powertrain to a 2027 Rolls-Royce Cullinan wearing a custom body kit that makes its North American debut. For the second consecutive year, the Toyo Tires website will carry build highlights for every vehicle on display, including year, make and model, and wheel and tire package.
Over the years, Treadpass has been an incredible way for us to collaborate with top builders and create a one-of-a-kind experience at the SEMA Show. We are thrilled to bring the activation back for its 13th year and deliver another unforgettable experience for attendees, while showcasing the largest culmination of world-debut cars at this year’s show.

Life-size die-cast toy box
Working with Time Capsule, a B2B miniature-merchandise company that makes detailed die-cast models, Toyo will display a life-size die-cast toy box at Treadpass. Inside is a 2014 Scion FRS (Toyota GT86) designed and built by Daniel Song of DRVNmind. The car carries the first Neo86 conversion widebody kit built outside the Japanese demo car shown last year, with styling inspired by the AE86 and a nod to the well-known U.S.-built AE86 called “Run Free.” It also gets a Beams 3SGE swap with full ITBs from Panic Made and custom high-rise headers from Dream Maker Goods, and it rolls on Rays TE37V 18x10 wheels in Dash White with Toyo Proxes Sport R 255/35/18 tires.
Leen Customs pins return
Toyo is again teaming with Leen Customs on limited-edition pins. Ten pins will be made for selected Treadpass display vehicles and handed out at set times during the show. An exclusive 11th pin will be available at the “Artist’s Meet” with Leen Customs founder Hansel Echeverria on Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
