OVERVIEW

The Toyo Proxes R888R is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, summer DOT approved tire manufactured for racing vehicles.

The tire guarantees great summer weather performance. The durable high-grip tire compound and the asymmetric tread design enhance the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. They boost the tires traction in such weather conditions to ensure a secure performing capability. The special water evacuation channel helps prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from below the footprint. The excellent summer traction earned the tire its DOT approval, for it to be allowed to be used on highway terrains.

The model is easily controlled even at high speeds. The tread features a continuous center rib that upgrades the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. The better contact with the road surface improves the high speed steering response time and accuracy to the drivers instruction, while it also stabilizes the structure against the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. The tires high-grip race compound boosts the tires road grip and helps prevent heat build-up forming on the tread area. This eases the driving pressure off the tire and ensures its first-rate high speed performance.

The Proxes R888R promotes a secure maneuvering capability. The asymmetric tread designs optimal road contact area significantly improves the braking ability. It creates friction at the moment of braking between the tire and the road surface, which greatly shortens the braking distance, even during the tires high speed racing performance. The asymmetric patterns wider outer shoulder area provides additional biting edges that grip the road surface at all times. They enhance the grip the tire has on the road surface during its cornering, which upgrades the maneuvering safety.

– Grip is improved for excellent cornering performance
– The optimized contact patch aids dry traction in braking, acceleration, and cornering
– Lateral grip is maximized by large tread blocks on the outside of the tire’s tread to decrease relaxation length on turns for improved cornering
– A wide center rib allows for precise steering response and improved directional stability that’s vital during a race
– In the even that there’s water on the track, a built-in water evacuation channel moves water away from the tire to help with wet traction
– Ideal for racing, the Proxes R888R is commonly used on sporty models such as the BMW 3 and 4 Series, Chevrolet Corvette, and Porsche Cayman and 911
