Toyo Tires - Proxes Tires

Toyo Tires is one of the leading tire manufacturers in the world. Based in Japan, the company is known for producing high-end tires with impeccable traction and excellent fuel efficiency. Beloved by off-road enthusiasts and winter-weather drivers, Toyo Tires offers a diverse range of tire offerings, from all-season high-performance passenger car tires to summer sports car tires and off-road rugged terrain truck tires. Within the Toyo Tires brand, there are several sub-brands, and one of their most popular sub-brands is the Toyo Proxes line. Proxes tires are marketed as performance tires suitable for any vehicle. They are highly-rated, especially when it comes to wet and dry traction (one of Toyo Tires’ specialties). The Toyo Proxes range consists of tires suitable for sports cars, SUVs and sport trucks, and even competition vehicles. Some have summer capabilities, others all-season, and some are meant to be driven on the highway while others are meant for performance and racing. No matter which you choose or where you drive, if you’ve got a set of Toyo Proxes tires on your vehicle, you’ll feel like a professional racing driver. Below, we’re delving into some of the top Toyo Proxes tires, including the Toyo Proxes T1R, the Toyo Proxes 4, and the Toyo Proxes ST III.

Toyo Proxes T1R

The Toyo Proxes T1R is a summer ultra-high-performance passenger car tire. This tire was specifically designed with luxury coupes and sedans in mind and is known for its truly outstanding grip in both wet and dry conditions. Features of this Toyo tire include straight line acceleration, hard braking, and aggressive handling traction, all made possible thanks to the silica-enhanced, high-grip compound and refined unidirectional tread design. The Toyo Proxes T1R also has V-shaped main grooves, rigid shoulder rib bands, and parallel shoulder slits for better stability and water excavation, as well as an advanced silica compound to give the tires extra grip, whether roads are wet and cold or dry and warm. Ultra-high-performance tires such as these are typically less smooth than touring tires and if driven aggressively have a shorter tread life than touring tires as well. However, what the Toyo Proxes T1R lacks in tread life and ride comfort it more than makes up for in wet and dry traction, handling, and cornering.

Toyo Proxes 4

The Toyo Proxes 4 is another model in the Toyo Tires Proxes line, however, this time it is an all-season ultra-high-performance passenger sports car tire. Unlike the Proxes T1R, the Proxes 4 has year-round driving capabilities. Designed with sport compact cars, coupes, and sedans in mind, the Toyo Proxes 4 is known for delivering excellent traction, handling, and cornering stability. Features of this luxury tire include a Generation S silica-reinforced, high-grip tread compound, a W-shaped tread pattern, high angle tread grooves, multi-wave sipes, and a curved centre rib. Together, the silica tread compound and unique W-shaped tread pattern offer consistent grip in both wet and dry conditions while the tire’s angled tread grooves work to excavate water from the contact patch and reduce the chances of hydroplaning. Further, the curved centre rib makes for a more stable and responsive driving experience and the multi-wave sipes reduce road noise and minimize tread wear. Overall, if you're looking for a tire that offers innovative all-season traction, ride comfort, and excellent cornering capabilities, the Toyo Proxes 4 might just be for you.

Toyo Proxes ST III

LFinally, the Toyo Proxes ST III is another of the brand’s all-season ultra-high-performance tires, however, this one is intended for light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. This high-end light truck tire consists of directional shoulder blocks, lightning grooves, multi-wave sipes, arrowhead tapers, and a directional tread design. The grooves and rigid shoulder blocks are designed to dispel water from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The Toyo Proxes ST III was also engineered to boost capabilities under a heavy load and offer exceptional handling and a smooth, quiet ride. This Toyo tire also uses a multi-weather compound to ensure it can perform in cold or wet weather, including mud and snow. Finally, thanks to the strong sidewall construction and heavy internal construction, the Proxes ST III has a long tread life and high load carrying capacity. At the end of the day, strong year-round performance and a quiet, comfortable ride are what you get with the Toyo Proxes ST III.
