Toyo Proxes R888R Tyres

Toyo R888R - Made for the Track day with Street Legal Approval

The semi-slick Toyo R888R is a re-engineered heir of the R888 and is Toyo's Autocross and Racetrack Only tyre for driving enthusiasts partaking in road racing, track days and events of high-performance driver education. Compared to its predecessor, R888R has been improved to perform even better on track. It offers higher dry adhesion and enhanced steering properties.The tyre exceeds the EU tyre labelling regulations. Therefore, it is legal to use as a road tyre, and target customer is the sporty driver who calls for a tyre with extreme dry driving characteristics.

A Whole New Level of Driving

The Toyo R888R tyre takes the dry grip, handling and braking to a new level. With an excellent warm-up behaviour, it provides higher dry adhesion and improved steering properties, which give the driver a clear competitive advantage in dry conditions. Its wide range of sizes (from 13 to 20 inches) makes it suitable for many sports cars.

The Toyo Proxes R888R has an entirely different tyre architecture. If the R888 is a tyre with directional tread, its successor R888R is characterised by an asymmetric tread design. This is a radical change that - according to the theory - should ensure improved directionality of the tyre.

Particularly Recommended

However, the most important changes are not obvious at first glance. Toyo explains that the rubber compound of the R888R has gone through extensive tests on the track, making it even more competitive, thus even faster and even more resilient.

In 2017 Sport Auto UHP and Track Day Test the Toyo R888R was rated as “particularly recommended” for its excellent wet traction, high grip and satisfactory steering in the dry. The same year 2017 Track Day Tyre Test rated it as considerably good regarding short braking distance and its low price.
