The Toyo Proxes R888R DOT competition tire is an evolution of the race-winning Proxes R888, engineered to deliver faster lap times and confident dry handling. Its high-grip race compound reaches optimal operating temperature quickly, helping drivers access consistent performance during track sessions and competition events. The 265/35ZR18 fitment features a radial, tubeless construction with a black sidewall and a 97Y load and speed rating combination.
The improved contact patch places more rubber on the track to enhance traction during braking, acceleration, and cornering. Large outside tread blocks maximize lateral grip, while the wide center rib supports directional stability and precise steering response. These design elements work together to provide predictable handling and controlled feedback for performance-focused driving.
A water evacuation channel assists with wet traction, but the Proxes R888R is purpose-built as a DOT competition tire with an emphasis on dry-track performance. The Toyo Proxes R888R, part number TOY104570, is suited to drivers and racers seeking dependable response, rapid warm-up, and strong cornering capability from a dedicated performance tire.
