Toyo Tires Introduces New Toyo Proxes Sport 2 Max Performance Summer Tire
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA – Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. (Toyo Tires®) introduces the new Toyo® Proxes® Sport 2, a max performance summer tire designed for gas, hybrid, and electric sports cars, CUVs, and SUVs. This next-generation tire is engineered for excitement and spirited driving, offering precise handling and exceptional grip. With innovative tread compounds, a refined tread design, and advanced casing construction, it maximizes wet and dry traction, while improving cornering stability and reducing stopping distance compared to its predecessor, the Proxes® Sport.
The new Proxes Sport 2 incorporates a redesigned profile shape to enhance cornering traction. New dual silica tread compounds on the inside and outside of the tire work harmoniously: the flexible inner compound adapts to varying road surfaces for optimal grip, while the more rigid outer compound resists deformation, boosting cornering performance. The asymmetric tread pattern combined with the dynamic taper design element ensures consistent contact with the road to maximize acceleration, braking, and cornering performance. When not pushed to the limits, these max performance summer tires also behave in a civil manner by offering a quiet ride while also reducing rolling resistance to limit impact on your vehicles fuel or range.
“The Proxes Sport 2 boasts a 15% shorter stopping distance in wet conditions and 10% shorter on dry surfaces along with improved handling performance over its predecessor, the Proxes Sport,” said Kevin Arima, senior manager, consumer products, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. “These improvements enhance the driver’s experience rain or shine on twisty canyon roads or around town.”
The new Proxes Sport 2 tire will be produced in over 75 sizes with 17- to 22-inch wheel diameters in Y and (Y) speed ratings while carrying a 25,000-mile treadwear warranty and a 45-Day/500-Mile Trial Offer. The Proxes Sport 2 will be available starting in February 2025. From staggered fitments to tire and wheel upgrades, the wide array of Proxes Sport 2 sizes in 18” rim diameters and larger represent over 80% of the market and offer options for many vehicles. Popular fitments include the Audi SQ5, BMW M Models, Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Tesla Model X, and Toyota Supra GR.
