The Proxes R is Toyo's Racetrack & Autocross Only tire developed for enthusiast drivers competing in track attack and road racing events where the demand for the utmost grip in dry conditions is a requirement.

Proxes R tires feature a next-generation tread compound formulated to create maximum grip 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 symmetric tread design allows them to be mounted on either side of the car, and later be mounted inside out to further extend their life. This race-ready design eliminates the need for tire shaving, however Proxes R 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 dual-layered polyester casing with twin steel belt construction to deliver predictable handling and consistent lap times throughout the tire's life. A high turn-up reinforcement in the sidewalls adds additional strength and immediacy to steering response and cornering stability.

While Proxes R tires meet DOT requirements, they are not appropriate for highway use. Proxes R tires 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. Like all Racetrack & Autocross Only tires, Proxes R are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It's essential these tires be stored indoors at temperatures maintained above 15°F.

CAUTION! The rubber compounds used in this tire have unique properties that, when compared to other tires, can cause them to lose some of their flexibility when used or handled in conditions below 15°F (-9°C). This loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and other damage to the tire.

TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING, CONSUMERS AND INSTALLERS ARE ADVISED TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Do not move or operate the car with these tires in conditions below 15°F (-9°C). ALWAYS INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF CRACKING! NEVER USE TIRES THAT HAVE CRACKED!
  2. Avoid moving these tires in conditions below 15°F (-9°C).
  3. Before mounting or dismounting, store these tires for at least 24 hours in a temperature-controlled environment of 68°F (20°C) or warmer, and ALWAYS INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF CRACKING! NEVER USE TIRES THAT HAVE CRACKED!
  4. Remove these tires from the vehicle and deflate to half the normal air pressure during prolonged periods of non-use or storage.

Note: Please follow the specific mounting and rotation guidelines provided by Toyo for their Proxes R tires as recommended in the following link: Consumer Advisory (toyotires.com)

...Wet traction is great and treadwear is impressive...

I took a chance buying these since there were no reviews available. I liked the aggressive look and am happy I tried them. Wet traction is great and treadwear is impressive.
I recommend these tires and would definitely buy them again.

This has been the best winter tire that I have ran. Comparing to Blizzak, Winterforce, and Michelin X1. The winter traction is almost too good, because this tire is constantly digging for traction, even when I am hoping for some donut action...

This has been the best winter tire that I have ran. Comparing to Blizzak, Winterforce, and Michelin X1. The winter traction is almost too good, because this tire is constantly digging for traction, even when I am hoping for some donut action. Also after 20k can't even tell that they're worn.

...Steering response is about the same, but there is so much more ultimate grip when cornering. The stiff sidewalls don't roll over and howl immediately like the factory tires and it was downright fun on Tail of the Dragon...

My truck is a 4-cylinder 4x4 so I wanted some tough but relatively lightweight all-terrain tires that wouldn't destroy my acceleration or MPG and could be aired down, eventually leading me to these Firestones. They only weigh 39 lbs in an E-rated 245/75-16 and are a little cheaper than the usual suspects. I don't notice any acceleration differences compared to the stock tires , though I did lose ~1 MPG mixed (like from 24-26 MPG on the highway to 23-25 and from 21-22 around town to 20-21ish).

Most of the time I don't notice much of a difference compared to the stock tires. Steering response is about the same, but there is so much more ultimate grip when cornering. The stiff sidewalls don't roll over and howl immediately like the factory tires and it was downright fun on Tail of the Dragon. I have taken it on a lot of steep dirt and gravel roads and on many of the easy/moderate trails and passes in Colorado (Ophir Pass, Medano Pass, etc.) and rarely needed 4WD except for extra low-end power at 10,000 feet (4-cyl gets a little asthmatic at altitude). It was super confidence inspiring.

Hard/panic braking is the only thing that's a little worse. It howls and squirms around a little.

The installers spec'd them with 45 PSI and they do ride more firmly, but it's only really noticeable if you hit a big pothole or something like a recessed sewer lid. I like how on normal bumps the truck kind of just kind of shrugs them off in one motion now instead of reverberating/quivering like it did with the OEM tires. They are a little louder than the OEM tires, but it is a different sound. Whereas the OEM tires kind of had a singing/ringing sound, these kind of make a low shhhhhhh.

I haven't driven on any snow or ice yet but they are excellent in heavy rain compared to the factory tires that slid around and hydroplaned easily. So far, there's no noticeable wear after 7500 miles. Very happy with them and perfect on a stock 4-cylinder Tacoma for easy off-roading.

...On road comfort is on par with the best all terrain tires. They are quiet and comfortable even on the highway...

These tires have performed great for my use case. Most of the time, it is a daily commuter. It is also used for moderate off-road use in the Sonoran Desert and mountainous areas nearby. The tires give great confidence on loose surfaces, rock faces, mud, and sand. The sidewalls are strong enough to absorb impacts and scrapes on sharp rocks. On road comfort is on par with the best all terrain tires. They are quiet and comfortable even on the highway. They appear to be wearing a little faster than my previous set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W's but they are also lighter translating to better fuel economy and acceleration. I expect to get 40k out of these tires before replacement is needed. Overall I would buy again especially for the price.

...I did have "E" rated tires on my half ton GMC and kept tire pressures well above vehicle manufactures recommendations and still experienced a smooth and fairly quiet ride...

This tire exceeded my expectations with regards to tread wear longevity, traction, and comfort. I have taken this vehicle in some off road situations/conditions that I probably shouldn't have. I had more issues with clearance than any tire/traction issues. I did have "E" rated tires on my half ton GMC and kept tire pressures well above vehicle manufactures recommendations and still experienced a smooth and fairly quiet ride. I would purchase these tires again and would highly recommend.
