The Proxes R1R from Toyo is an extreme performance summer tire developed for driving enthusiasts who seek capabilities beyond the normal limits of street tires. Based on Toyo’s years of proven experience on the racetrack, Proxes R1R tires are designed to enhance performance on both wet and dry roads.
- Road tires compared by experts to competition level tires
- Proxes R1R offers extreme performance on the road
- Unidirectional tread pattern provides balanced wet and dry performance
Racing-inspired technology has been taken to the streets. After years of testing tires in extreme conditions on the track, Toyo produced much of the technology found in the Proxes R1R.
Enjoy all the benefits of track traction on the street. The intense cornering and handling performance make it an ideal tire for sport coupes and high-performance sedans.
The Proxes R1R incorporates a high-grip, silica-reinforced tread compound in a directional tread design with an aggressive 8/32″ to 9/32″ deep arrowhead design with an extra-wide footprint to combine handling and performance in dynamic dry driving with optimal wet traction.
To negotiate tight, fast corners and accelerate in a straight line, Toyo engineers incorporated multiple lateral grooves into the Proxes R1R that control stability and increase dry performance by preserving block stiffness during aggressive braking.
Advanced racing-inspired materials were used inside the tire. By reinforcing the tire, deformations that can occur during aggressive cornering are avoided.
That said, like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, these tires are not designed to be maintained, stored or driven in near or below freezing temperatures, snow or ice.
Bottom Line
Enthusiasts looking for tires with the best possible performance should consider the impressive performance dynamics that the Proxes R1R can. The use of advanced internal construction to maintain the tire’s shape during aggressive cornering to keep as much rubber in contact with the road as possible is a highlight to consider.
Unique silica-reinforced rubber compounds, combined with an aggressive arrow tread design, provide excellent handling in wet and dry conditions.
The race-proven technology can bring drivers closer to the level of tires used in competition on the nation’s roads.
Toyo’s Proxes R1R lets you go hard in the corners and accelerate fast in the straights. Buy it at PMCtire.com.
