Proxes R888R DOT Competition Tire

The Toyo Tires Proxes R888R is a DOT competition tire, representing an evolution of the Proxes R888, specifically engineered to deliver faster lap times and superior dry handling. Its design centers around a new tread pattern and an optimized contact patch that maximizes rubber-to-road contact for enhanced performance. Key features include a high-grip race compound that reaches optimal operating temperatures quickly, ensuring consistent performance and improved grip for aggressive cornering. The optimized contact patch further enhances dry traction for braking, acceleration, and cornering. Large tread blocks on the outer tread area provide maximum lateral grip, while a wide center rib contributes to directional stability and precise steering response. Additionally, a water evacuation channel is incorporated to improve wet traction capabilities. Toyo Tires recommends specific setup guidelines for the Proxes R888R: an operating temperature range of 160°F to 220°F, hot inflation pressures between 32 to 38 psi, a camber setting of -1° to -3°, and as much positive caster as possible. This tire is intended for competition use and may not be suitable for all daily driving conditions.
