Description Toyo Proxes R46A
The Toyo Proxes R46A summer tire is designed for mid-size passenger cars. It belongs to the Ultra High Performance category and demonstrates excellent traction and directional stability at high speeds.
Asymmetric Tread
A distinctive feature of the asymmetric tread of this tire is the presence of two functional zones. One of them is formed by the shoulder area from the outside and the adjacent longitudinal rib of separate blocks. This zone provides stability of the tire during maneuvering and longitudinal acceleration.
In turn, the three remaining longitudinal ribs are solid and have a significant width. These features give them high deformation resistance. On the one hand, this provides the tire with excellent directional stability at high speeds and makes its reactions to the driver's actions fast and accurate, and on the other hand, it reduces rolling resistance.
Low Aquaplaning Risk
A characteristic feature of this tire is the low risk of aquaplaning even at high speeds. This is due to the presence of four longitudinal grooves in the central part and the increased depth of the entire tread pattern as a whole. As a result, these elements have a significant internal volume, which allows the tread to divert almost any amount of water from the contact patch.
Key Features:
- Asymmetric tread with two functional zones is effective at high speeds in any driving mode;
- Reduced risk of aquaplaning due to the large volume of drainage grooves;
- Special semicircular recesses on the sidewalls of blocks and ribs reduce noise.
