The Proxes RR is Toyo's Racetrack & Autocross Only tire developed for driving enthusiasts who compete in road racing and track attack events where high levels of grip in dry conditions is required.

While Proxes RR radials meet DOT requirements, they are not appropriate for highway use. Proxes RR radials are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. And like all Racetrack & Autocross Only tires, Proxes RR radials are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It's also essential these tires be stored indoors at temperatures maintained above 15°F.

Proxes RR tires feature a high-grip tread compound molded into a semi-slick tread design including just two 4/32" deep symmetric circumferential tread grooves and multiple wear inspection holes in the slick areas. This race-ready design eliminates the need for tire shaving, however Proxes RR tires will benefit from heat cycling before competition to enhance wear and provide more consistent performance, as well as scuff-in during their first laps.

The tire's internal structure features a symmetric rayon casing construction to deliver predictable handling and consistent lap times throughout the tire's life while reinforced sidewalls deliver enhanced steering response and cornering stability. A marking area integrated into the sidewall design allows racers to easily label and manage their tires.

Additionally, their symmetric tread design and internal construction allows them to be mounted on either side of the car (and later be mounted inside out to further extend their life).

Toyo Tires recommends the following general set-up guidelines for the Proxes RR:

  • Operating Temperature: 160°F to 220°F
  • Hot Inflation Pressures: 32 to 38 (psi)
  • Camber: -1° to -3°
  • Caster: As much positive as possible

Note: Please follow the specific mounting and rotation guidelines provided by Toyo for their Proxes RR tires as recommended in the link below.

Toyo Reviews

Customers say the Toyo Proxes RR delivers excellent dry traction with predictable grip and responsive handling, making it a top choice for track days, autocross, and HPDE events. While some report decent wet performance in light rain, standing water significantly reduces traction. The tire's treadwear stands out, with many users achieving 20-30 heat cycles and multiple track weekends before noticeable drop-off. Though slightly less grippy than higher-end race tires, its durability and consistent performance across sessions make it a cost-effective option for drivers prioritizing longevity over peak lap times.

  • 86 positive
  • 8 negative

Customers praise the Toyo Proxes RR's outstanding dry traction, with many scoring 9s and 10s for exceptional grip in acceleration, braking, and cornering during track days, autocross, and HPDE events. Reviewers highlight predictable handling at the limit and consistent performance once heated, though some note longer warm-up times. Durability through multiple heat cycles and excellent value solidify its reputation as a top-tier track tire.

...The tires had great grip on acceleration along with holding grip in the corners. As with most slicks they don't talk much but the RR did give some audible feedback when approaching the limit...

My V is 650whp and weighs 3800#. I used these tires at COTA and ran (8) 30 min sessions. The tires had great grip on acceleration along with holding grip in the corners. As with most slicks they don’t talk much but the RR did give some audible feedback when approaching the limit. They seemed to like 40psi HOT for my setup with minimal rollover on the front tires at -3.0 camber, next time I’ll try -3.2. I can probably get 2 more full track days out of these. If your car is lighter or less powerful I would assume even more out of them. Highly recommend for the price point!!!

Amazing Grip. These tires are perfect for track events, drag racing, autocross and basically driving at the very edge of performance. They did a massive improvement on my 2016 Infiniti Q50S Red Sport RWD. If you are looking for an affordable racing slick tire this is it.

Customers praise the Toyo Proxes RR's treadwear, with many scoring 8s and 9s for its durability through 20-30 heat cycles and multiple track events. Reviews highlight consistent grip even as cords show, with some noting impressive longevity for a competition tire. A few mention earlier drop-off in heavier cars, but most find wear exceeds expectations for aggressive track use.

I don't know how a 40 treadwear tire can last this long but nothing else comes close regarding grip and longevity.

49 reviews mention "Wet Traction"

  • 6 positive
  • 43 negative

Users report mediocre wet traction, noting a tendency to hydroplane in standing water and slippery handling during rain. While acceptable in dry track conditions, wet performance draws criticism for being unpredictable, requiring cautious driving to maintain control. Some describe rapid loss of grip in wet scenarios, highlighting poor wet-weather capability for this track-focused tire.

SCCA ITS race car. Usually have run Hoosiers, tried a set of Toyo for practice days (to save a few $$), ended up running them in one race in wet / dry conditions.
Car feel. is good, not much different to Hoosiers, other than the somewhat decreased ultimate grip. About 1.5 seconds /lap slower (estimate ).
Tires held up well during a run, not giving up much in the late laps.
Wear: seems at least as durable as Hoosier .

Conclusion: they work, are fun to drive, cost less, but (as expected )do not have the grip/speed of Hoosier.

..."For the Toyo Proxes RR, I could not find any consecutive sentences specifically discussing wet traction performance. The reviews focus on track use, tire cracking issues, and mounting requirements, but do not mention wet weather performance or grip in wet conditions." Note: Since there are no specific phrases related to wet traction performance in this text, nothing should be bolded according to the given criteria...

I use these tires only for HDPE days, I have tried BFG R1, Hoosiers and Hankook C51 track tires before, and thought I would try the Toyos. I have Toyo 888s on my Factory Five Cobra that I use for street and track and have been very satisfied with the grip and wear so figured the RR will be a chip off the old shoulder.

Drive them at Laguna Seca in the "D" group with HOD, race prepped cars, mine isn't exactly race prepped, but has Perf Friction Brakes, race suspension, chipped engine with headers and can run 1:43 at Laguna which lets it keep up with some of the older race cars that show up at these events. I go in the D group because the drivers are safer and better and you can pass anywhere on the track, don't have to be the fastest, just safe.

Finished the day, swapping to my street wheels and tires for the drive home and notice two of the tires have a crack half way across the tread. HUH....wierd. Call Tire Rack the next day and they ask if I mounted them properly, I said What?? In the blue files in the website there is an installation guide I hadn't looked at. You have to have the DOT label facing a certain way on the front and rear, and it depends on whether you car is front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. Crap...now you can't rotate the tires for even wear, all you can do is have them flipped on the rims each time you want to move them..double crap.

Tire Rack was good enough to fight Toyo for a warranty claim, one tire was mounted correctly, the other was not. The other two tires were mounted correctly. So they shipped two new ones, but I had to pay shipping and heat cycling on the new tires....arrrgghhh.

Second Track Day - Inspect as installing street tires for ride home and 2 more are cracking....one of the new ones which is mounted correctly and one of the old ones. Crap again. The M3 may be too heavy for this tire if you drive hard and have performance brakes. Run Away!!!
