Description Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
Released by the famous Japanese manufacturer, the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport passenger summer tire is designed for sports sedans and coupes. The manufacturer refers to this tire as a high-performance tire.
The tire features an asymmetric tread design, the outer part of which provides a larger tire contact patch when cornering, thereby improving traction. The inner part of the tread, which contains longitudinal grooves and rigid ribs, is responsible for a short braking distance, as well as combating aquaplaning. Thanks to the rigid sidewalls, the tire is characterized by prompt and unambiguous reactions to steering wheel turns, which adds confidence when driving. The wide profile of the tire contributes to an increase in the tire's contact patch with the surface, which leads to a more even distribution of load across the contact patch and also improves the tire's grip with the road.
The tread pattern of the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tire features five ribs, which provide high directional stability. The wide shoulder areas of the tread increase the tire's resistance to deformations that occur when cornering, which significantly improves the stability of the tire's behavior in corners, as well as preventing uneven wear. Three wide longitudinal grooves are offset to the outer side of the tread, which is more loaded when cornering, which significantly increases the efficiency of water removal from the contact patch in corners.
Main features of Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
- Asymmetric tread pattern reduces braking distance, effectively combats aquaplaning, improves traction and directional stability on wet roads;
- Increased sidewall stiffness and its rounded profile reduce the response time to steering wheel turns, making them more unambiguous;
- The enlarged profile reduces the braking distance and improves traction when cornering due to a more even distribution of load across the contact patch area.
