Toyo's new Proxes T1 Sport premium ultra-high
performance summer tire is now available
throughout the U.S.
“State-of-the-art construction and design make
this tire a perfect fit for sports sedans and
coupes,” says COO Marty Furman.
“Improvements over the Toyo Proxes T1R include
better high speed stability, precise steering
response, improved braking performance and high
cornering power at high speed,” he reports. The
T1R is still available in 15 sizes ranging from
15- to 22-inch rim diameters.
Track tested on the Nürburgring in Germany, the
T1 Sport “delivers increased control and
precision for true balance in both wet and dry
handling,” according to Furman.
Optimum cornering performance and straight line
stability are a result of a new high stiffness
compound that is combined with an asymmetric,
non-directional tread, he says. Wide outer
tread blocks deliver responsive steering and
high grip, and wide tread grooves help channel
water for improved resistance to
aquaplaning.
Available in 42 sizes, it also qualifies for
the company’s 45-day/500-mile Trial Offer and
comes with a 20,000-mile warranty.
The tire is original equipment on the 2011 Audi
TT, TTS and TT RS.
