+ Excellent steering response

Proxes Sport 2 characteristics:

Asymmetric tread pattern. It is already known that each tread element must perform its function during movement, depending on its position. This is very pronounced at high speeds. For this reason, the developers preferred a tread with an asymmetric arrangement of the tread elements, which automatically allows for several variations in tread design. The central elements are positioned at an acute angle to ensure maximum braking performance. In addition, this positioning helps prevent aquaplaning and protects against uneven wear. The outer tread sections are designed to improve grip and handling when manoeuvring and cornering.

This design significantly increases the contact patch area, which further improves the tyre's driving characteristics. Some of these include manoeuvring grip, braking, resistance to uneven wear and fuel economy.

The central tread section of the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 is based on a series of longitudinal ribs. The ribs are solid, or continuous, in design, which makes the tyre stiff and improves the effectiveness of the blocks in the shoulder area. This design reduces the length of the braking distance and, when manoeuvring, evenly distributes the pressure due to the weight of the car between the tread and the road surface. A very important feature of the centre section is the two distinctive wide water outlets. Their size makes them fully sufficient to cope with any aquaplaning threat.
