"Built for many of the most powerful cars in the world," it has been declared as the 'new flagship' for the entire Proxes line, company executives report.

They say it is Toyo's "most technologically advanced tire, developed with a focus on high-speed performance, cornering and braking."

Using advanced TruForm technology, the result is better uniformity and improved handling thanks to a high-rigidity belt package that reduces tread deformation, according to the company.

A Silent Wall in the tread decreases noise while computer simulation applied during development optimizes the tire’s ride on varying road surfaces.

Six of 10 sizes feature a multi-compound tread engineered for high-speed handling, cornering and braking, while four sizes designed for rear wheel applications (width of 285 and greater) have a compound and design focused on vehicle balance and improved cornering power, the company says.

Additional features include interlocking tread blocks that improve directional stability in straight-away driving and slanted grooves that close during cornering for increased stability.

A multi-function taper is also applied to the inside of specific tread blocks to obtain uniform contact pressure during cornering and to provide a wider channel along the circumferential groove to resist hydroplaning.

It fits 18- and 19-inch wheels on select models of Audi, BMW M cars, Corvette, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, and Porsche.
