Toyo Tires PROXES R888R 215/45ZR17 87W PXR8R TL

High Performance That Never Rests!

The Toyo Tires Proxes R888R D.O.T.* Competition Radial Tires have evolved from their predecessors, the race-winning Proxes R888. The credit for improvements in acceleration, braking, cornering and dry traction over the R888 come from the newly added "R" designation tread compound that reaches optimal operating temperature quickly, in addition to the highly developed contact patch and new tread design that puts more rubber to the surface. The Proxes R888R tires are perfect for performance enthusiasts that participate in road racing, autocross, track days and high-performance driver education classes. The Proxes R888R tires deliver long wear, predictable handling and consistency to produce quick lap times at your next track or autocross event.

The Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)* approval means that these tires
meet the requirements for marking and performance only. Competition radial
tires are not appropriate for use in wet, snow or near freezing weather
conditions, on the highway and should be stored indoors above fifteen degrees.
See "SETUP & CARE" in the chart below to extract the best possible performance
from your Proxes R888R tires.

The Toyo Tires Proxes R888R D.O.T Competition Radial Tires feature an internal structure with a two or three ply Rayon casing (depending on size) that supports two high tensile, wide steel belts. This construction is great for accelerating quickly onto the straightaways and driving hard through the corners. The soft but durable "R" racing compound improves grip for better competitive handling performance and is also tolerant to repeated heat cycles. This compound is molded into an asymmetric, aggressive tread design that features giant outboard shoulder blocks and a wide center rib for improved dry traction while the single water evacuation channel and large scallop voids assist with wet traction. Tread depth indicators allow for more accurate measurement where the tire wears quickest near the shoulders. The 6/32'' of tread depth when new provides competitive wet and dry traction, excellent braking and tread life. For full competition, they can be shaved to reduced tread depths to increase direct contact with the track to further improve dry traction.
