The Proxes R888 is Toyo's Racetrack & Autocross Only tire for driving enthusiasts participating in road racing, track days and high-performance driving schools. The Proxes R888's advancements in casing and tread design improve dry performance while maintaining wet traction and control.
While Proxes R888 radials meet DOT requirements, they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions when shaved or worn 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 R888 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 degrees F.
Proxes R888 tires feature a R-Compound Tread that maximizes grip for better competitive handling and performance. This compound is molded into a directional V-shaped tread design featuring increased tread area and limited void to improve dry traction while the V-shaped grooves assist with wet traction. Semi-slick shoulder areas improve grip for better steering response while a continuous center contact increases braking performance and dry traction.
The tire's internal structure features an advanced competition modified radial construction for driving hard through the corners and accelerating quickly onto the straight-aways.
Toyo Tires recommends the following general set-up guidelines for the Proxes R888:

El neumático R888, es la generación nueva de neumáticos Toyo de la categoría: Solo Para Pista y Autocross, para conductores entusiastas que participan en carreras de carreteras, circuitos o escuelas de alto rendimiento. Las ventajas de la carcasa y el diseño de la huella, mejora el rendimiento en seco, al mismo tiempo, de mantener tracción y control sobre superficies mojadas.
A pesar, que los radiales Proxes R888 cumplen con los requisitos DOT, estos no se recomiendan, si están afeitados o desgastados, para su manejo en condiciones mojadas, donde haya agua estancada y exista la posibilidad de patinazo (hydroplaning). Si es así, los conductores deben disminuir la velocidad cautelosamente. Y como todo neumático: Solo Para Pista y Autocross, el Proxes R888, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve. Además, es esencial que cuando sean guardados, la temperatura debe mantenerse por encima de los 15 grados Fahrenheit (9 grados Celsius).
Los neumáticos Proxes R888 poseen un compuesto de caucho conocido como R-Compound, que maximiza el agarre, para obtener una maniobrabilidad y rendimiento más competitivo. Este compuesto es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño direccional tipo V, con más material y menos ranuras, para mejorar la tracción sobre superficies secas. Las ranuras tipo V asisten desalojando agua y manteniendo más tracción sobre superficies mojadas. Áreas en los bordes, casi lisas, mejoran el agarre para obtener una mayor respuesta al girar el volante, mientras que un segmento central continuo, aumenta el rendimiento al frenar y la tracción sobre superficies secas.
La estructura interna del R888 posee una construcción radial de competencia modificada, para conductores que conducen ferozmente, al tomar curvas y aceleran rápidamente hacia las rectas.
