Toyo Proxes A20 195/60 R15 87H

Like other models in the lineup, the Toyo Proxes A20 tire is designed for everyday use on passenger cars and crossovers, offering a combination of confident handling and comfort, regardless of road conditions. The model is used as original equipment on models such as the Nissan Murano, Toyota Prius v, and Lexus HS 250h.

Design and Handling Features

The tread is designed in a characteristic symmetrical pattern for the entire lineup, with S-shaped transverse edges formed by the elements in the contact patch. This provides uniform pressure distribution across the contact patch and balanced driving properties on dry and wet surfaces. The central longitudinal rib, in turn, increases the vehicle's straight-line stability and makes steering reactions more predictable. The longitudinal grooves form an effective drainage system, draining water from the contact zone and reducing the risk of aquaplaning on wet asphalt. The tread blocks are optimized to reduce rolling resistance, which has a positive impact on fuel efficiency and acoustic comfort.

Carcass and Operational Characteristics

Since the model is designed, among other things, for crossovers, its design uses a carcass with increased load-carrying capacity, designed for a wider range of loads than classic "passenger" tires. This allows the tire to maintain its shape when maneuvering and driving at high speeds, slowing down the process of abrasive wear of the tread. The compound is characterized by a combination of wear resistance and elasticity, adding to the resource increased grip on wet surfaces.

Comfort and Acoustics

Particular attention was paid to the smoothness of the ride and noise reduction during design. The symmetrical pattern and block configuration reduce vibrations, creating a comfortable atmosphere in the cabin when driving in the city and on the highway. This makes the model suitable for daily use, providing calm and safe driving.

Key Features of Toyo Proxes A20:

- improved traction on wet surfaces due to the increased number of blocks and sipes;
- tread pattern with S-shaped arrangement of transverse edges improves traction and braking properties, reduces rolling resistance and wear, and improves acoustic comfort;
- effective system of longitudinal grooves for water drainage and aquaplaning prevention;
- reinforced design, designed for a wide range of loads.
