Toyo Proxes TR1 is an asymmetric Ultra High Performance tire, designed to ensure maximum driving safety for the owners of sports sedans and coupes in the summertime. According to its manufacturer, this tire is characterized by superior handling response and reliable grip throughout the entire service life, as well as by a smooth and noiseless ride. The world premiere of the Toyo Proxes TR1 sports tire took place at Essen Motor Show 2019. In order for this tire to be rightfully called a flagship model, the Japanese manufacturer used the latest developments and innovative technologies in it, which are aimed at increasing the product’s attractiveness in the eyes of the customers.

One zigzagging and two straight circumferential grooves, aided by broad slanted sipes of a curved conical shape in the central section of the tread, ensure quick evacuation of water from the contact area, thus increasing the Proxes TR1 hydroplaning resistance, and boosting its overall stability in wet conditions. The asymmetric tread pattern of this model improves traction in any summer weather, increases stability, provides excellent handling performance at high speeds, as well as quick and efficient braking. In addition, it provides a smooth and noiseless ride.

The wide shoulder areas ensure good traction and stability in corners. The optimum longitudinal rigidity of the Toyo Proxes TR1 tread contributes to reducing wet and dry braking distance, cutting down rolling resistance, and extending expected mileage.

The improved rubber compound with the inclusion of special polymers increases wear resistance, reduces rolling resistance, and boosts the Toyo Proxes TR 1 dry and wet grip.

The innovative tread wear indicators of the Proxes TR1 make it possible to prevent uneven wear and accurately detect the time for replacing the old tires. We will note that one of the things that the Toyo Proxes TR1 inherited from the predecessor model Toyo Proxes T1R are the long slanted grooves in the central section of the tread.
