Toyo Proxes Tires

Toyo Tire Corporation is a well-known manufacturer based out of Osaka, Japan. However, the company has created a fully-owned subsidiary named Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas Inc. (TTHA) to handle the North American market. TTHA imports, markets, and distributes tires under the Toyo and Nitto brands throughout North America. Toyo Proxes is a family of competition and high-performance tires that compete with the best while being available at mid-level prices. Buyers can expect all models from the Proxes family to provide great stability and handling at high speeds.

Let’s take a closer look at the Proxes line and find out what all they offer.

Toyo Proxes Sport A/S

Those who love pushing their performance-based cars to the limit and drive aggressively on a regular basis would need UHP all-season tires for year-round stability and handling. The Toyo Proxes Sport A/S would be a natural choice for such an owner as it is designed to fit cars with quick response times. The tire provides maximum control, increases braking efficiency, and enhances cornering grip due to a specialized silica compound, an improved rib design, and a dynamic taper. The Proxes Sport A/S, available with an average SimpleScore of 8.9, gets rid of the water quickly to provide confident wet traction. For vehicle owners who use every inch of rubber, there are Alignment Wear Indicators to see how much tread has been used. Toyo has provided a rim protector to guard the wheels from damage. We would recommend this tire for vehicles like Dodge Challenger, Audi A5, and Lexus RC350.

Toyo Proxes Sport

The Toyo Proxes Sport is the flagship product for the Proxes family, being suitable for high performance on luxury sedans, modern sports cars, passenger cars, electric cars, SUVs, and crossovers. As a UHP summer tire, it is built to deliver maximum performance and traction during the warmer months (temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit). A combination of Toyo’s proprietary Nano Balance technology and unique tread pattern leads to improved traction and great handling on wet and dry roads. Expect confident braking from this tire as it features a Dynamic Taper Design. More rubber on the road leads to better handling and braking performance. Apart from the above, this Y-rated tire also features a 25,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty and can be fitted on vehicles like the Ford Mustang GT, Lexus LC500H, Audi R8, and Porsche 911. We have awarded it with an average SimpleScore of 8.5.

Toyo Proxes R1R

The Toyo Proxes R1R was created with track experience in mind to provide drivers of sports cars with the handling, performance, and stability that their car demands. Its tread pattern enables drivers to turn and accelerate swiftly in a straight line. The tire's center block is made to combat uneven wear and prevent hydroplaning, and its tread features slits that facilitate rapid braking and dry road performance. Expect this autocross tire to perform at its highest level in warm temperatures (temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit). The Toyo Proxes R1R, available with an average SimpleScore of 8.1, is a great fit on vehicles like the Subaru WRX STi, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and BMW 3-Series. With an autocross-inspired casing, it also looks the part.

Toyo Proxes ST III

The Toyo Proxes ST III is an all-season street-and-sport truck tire that offers drivers confident handling, short stopping distances, strong dry handling and wet traction, and more. Available with an average SimpleScore of 8.4, this all-season tire, suitable for light trucks, SUVs, and CUVs, is able to perform well in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. A wider tread and silica-rich compound make this tire brake up to 6 feet shorter on wet surfaces. Similarly, tread grooves that appear like lightning bolts remove water quickly to prevent aquaplaning here. As a V-rated tire, it receives multi-wave sipes for better traction on light snow and to prevent irregular wear. Buyers will be delighted with the 40,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty here and the tire can be fitted on vehicles like the Infiniti QX60, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Range Rover Sport.

Toyo Proxes R

With its well-regarded consistency and longevity, the Toyo Proxes R outperforms its worthy predecessor, the Proxes RR, in terms of speed and predictability. Featuring a 4/32" deep tread, this DOT competition tire is made for high-performance driving experiences (HPDE) and dry road racing. The Proxes R will improve your racing experience and help you cross the finish line thanks to a completely revamped construction and a recently developed tread compound that makes it eligible for an average SimpleScore of 8.0. This W-rated tire has been optimized for precise control and stability, enabling you to maximize the potential of your sports car. Its durable design provides performance and longevity while being optimized to handle the demands of competitive driving. Though predominantly meant for the track, there can be light road use for the Proxes R. BMW Z4, Ferrari 308 GTB, and Porsche Boxster are some of the vehicles that can fit this tire.
