Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has launched the new Toyo Proxes Sport A/S+ ultra-high performance all-season tire, ideal for sports cars, CUVs, and SUVs. This next-generation tire offers improved wet traction while maintaining superior dry traction, thanks to an enhanced tread compound that also boosts fuel efficiency and extends tread life. The Proxes Sport A/S+ introduces a High Load (HL) capacity option for select sizes, catering specifically to heavier vehicles such as EVs, hybrids, and large SUVs.
Key features of the Toyo Proxes Sport A/S+ include an optimized asymmetric tread design with a high stiffness outer rib for enhanced cornering, higher sipe density inner ribs for better wet and dry braking, and light snow traction. The tire's ultra-high performance casing construction features stiff sidewalls, high tensile steel belts, and high hardness bead filler, ensuring improved handling and even contact pressure. The dynamic taper design enhances traction and handling, while multi-wave sipes reduce irregular wear for a quieter ride. Available in 80 sizes with 17- to 22-inch diameters, the Proxes Sport A/S+ will be available starting July 2024, with additional sizes and HL capacity options releasing later in 2024 and early 2025.
