The Toyo Proxes R30 summer tire is included in the factory equipment of the Toyota Prius car. A distinctive feature is the combination of low rolling resistance with good traction and handling on dry and wet surfaces. Ensuring a balance between such operating properties was made possible through the use of modern technologies and materials in the development of the tire.
DSOC-T
The tire was created using the DSOC-T technology. The Japanese company's own development is nothing but computer modeling of the real operation of the tire. With its help, it was possible to select such a combination of carcass characteristics, design features of the tread, and physico-chemical properties of the rubber compound, under which the tire demonstrates an ideal balance of operational qualities.
Shoulder block bridges
In addition to the massive dimensions, the shoulder blocks are distinguished by the presence of connecting bridges. They limit the mobility of these elements, thereby improving the stability of the traction properties in several driving modes - maneuvering, braking, and acceleration. They are also reinforced with narrow slits that form sharp edges when contacting the road.
Acoustic comfort
On road surfaces of any quality, the tire demonstrates a high level of acoustic comfort. The reduction of noise is ensured by several factors. First of all, it is the tread design with a multi-step arrangement of elements. In addition, the threads of the carcass and breaker are located inside the rubber shell, which prevents the occurrence of noise and vibration.
Main features of the Toyo Proxes R30 tire
- balanced characteristics thanks to the use of DSOC-T technology;
- shoulder blocks with bridges between them provide stability to the traction properties;
- low noise level is ensured by the arrangement of tread elements with an offset relative to each other and the optimized design of the carcass.
