Toyo Proxes TQ Tire - P275/45R16

This DOT drag radial was designed to help muscle cars and street machines transfer power to the ground. An optimized tread design coupled with a unique tread compound and strengthened radial construction give superior grip, straight-line performance, and high-speed stability as you blast down the track. The Proxes TQ is also designed to be quiet on the drive home.

• Drag-race construction with special drag-race radial carcass helps tire maintain a large, consistent contact patch for increased traction throughout a drag run
• Semi-slick inner area improves traction on independent rear suspension vehicles, while maintaining consistent grip on straight axle rear suspension vehicles
• Asymmetric tread design with the outside of tire for cornering, center for braking and accelerating, with the inside of tire for stability
• Variable pitch outer area reduces pattern noise when on the street
• Drag radial tread compound maximizes grip at launch

The Toyo Proxes TQ P275/45R16 is a DOT-approved drag radial tire designed for muscle cars, street machines, and performance vehicles that need dependable straight-line traction. Its specialized drag-race radial carcass, high-grip tread compound, and reinforced construction help maintain a broad, consistent contact patch for improved power transfer throughout a drag run. The Proxes TQ also provides high-speed stability and is engineered for a quieter drive home after track use.

• Drag-race construction with a specialized radial carcass helps maintain a large, consistent contact patch for increased traction


• Semi-slick inner tread area improves traction on independent rear suspension vehicles while maintaining consistent grip on straight-axle applications


• Asymmetric tread design positions the outer area for cornering, the center for braking and acceleration, and the inner area for stability


• Variable-pitch outer tread reduces pattern noise during street driving


• Drag radial tread compound maximizes grip during launch and hard acceleration

The tubeless Toyo Proxes TQ features radial construction, a black raised-letter sidewall, and a performance-oriented design suited to street-and-strip applications. Its non-directional tread pattern supports flexible mounting, while the carefully developed tread layout balances launch traction, braking response, cornering support, and highway drivability. This tire is built for drivers who want strong track performance without sacrificing reasonable street manners.
The Toyo Proxes TQ, part number TOY172070, is sized for 16-inch wheels and provides a practical performance upgrade for compatible muscle cars and street machines. Confirm vehicle fitment, wheel compatibility, axle configuration, and local regulations before installation. As a specialized drag radial, it should be used with appropriate driving practices and maintained at the recommended inflation pressure for the vehicle and application.
