Toyo Proxes R888R Reviews
Customers think the Toyo Proxes R888R delivers exceptional dry traction and predictable grip, making it a top choice for track days, autocross, and HPDE events. Enthusiasts praise its quick warm-up time and consistent performance during extended sessions, though some note reduced longevity compared to the original R888. Wet traction receives cautious feedback, with many reporting hydroplaning risks and limited confidence in rain-best reserved for dry conditions. Treadwear is viewed positively for a 100TW tire, offering decent durability through multiple heat cycles when used primarily on track, though street-driven sets may wear rapidly. Ideal for drivers prioritizing peak dry performance over all-weather versatility.

Customers praise the Toyo Proxes R888R's exceptional dry traction, with many scoring 9s and 10s for its "sticky" grip, predictable cornering, and confidence-inspiring performance in track, autocross, and HPDE scenarios. Reviewers highlight rapid heat buildup, consistent lap times, and strong acceleration/braking, even on high-horsepower cars. While some note sensitivity to pressure/temp management during extended sessions, most emphasize outstanding dry-weather handling as a top-tier track-focused tire.

Since the o.e. Tires wore out I've used R888R on my big turbo daily. No other tires have ever delivered the confidence and performance that this tire has. Dry cornering is unlike any tire I've ever had, straight line traction is also phenomenal. Yes they are no good if the road is wet however they are somewhat steerable when hydroplaned. I can't say enough good things about them. Sure they can be loud but they've never let me down. Most tires pop after a pothole but not these they are resilient. That's why they are my tire of choice

Great tire, very sticky. Treadwear rating of 100 makes it illegal for SCCA Autocross which requires a 200 minimum for competition. I don't care about trophies, so I like this sticky tire.

Excellent tires for the type of spirited driving I do. Dry traction is exceptional and wet isn't too far off. They feel very confident in the wet, under acceleration, corners and braking. The only exception which is always the case for this type of tread ware is be very aware of hydroplaning under standing water conditions. The one and only time my wife road with me was under these conditions, although I enjoyed throttle over-steering, she didn't so much.

Customers praise the R888R's treadwear, with many scoring 9s and 10s for durability through multiple track days and heat cycles. Reviews highlight consistent grip over extended sessions, longer-than-expected lifespan for a 100TW tire, and reliable performance even as tread depth diminishes. Some note accelerated wear under heavy track use, but acknowledge this as expected for a competition-focused compound.

Tires do amazing when dry and hot very sticky very responsive, excellent traction. Decent in wet conditions, bad tendency to hydroplane. Really only drawback is excessive road noise at all speeds.
