Customers praise the Toyo Proxes R888R for outstanding dry traction, with many scoring 9s and 10s. Reviewers highlight exceptional grip, predictable cornering, and confidence during track days, autocross, and HPDE events. The tires warm up quickly and maintain consistent performance, though some note rapid tread wear as expected for competition-focused use.

...These Toyos on the Front of the truck just stick like NO OTHER truck tire that I have ever used before. I can safely dive into corners that simply embarrass many cars that should handle better...
I have been using Yokohama Parada Spec X tires on my 2004 Silverado SS since the Year 2010. I first used them in stock 275/55-R20, and then switched to 305/50/R20 on Enkei ST6 20x9.5" wheels (with offset to keep tires in the wheel wells contrary to the jacked up 4WD look) bought from Tire Rack in 2013. My Silverado SS is AWD. They proved to be a smooth riding tire with reasonable grip in wet and dry with an acceptable life. On June 3, 2022, my new tires with less than 1/32nd tire wear obtained an unrepairable sidewall puncture flat on the left rear tire on the inside where a lag bolt somehow flipped up. I called Tire Rack who told me that the 305 tires were backordered for about 5 weeks. I got the same story from Discount Tires Direct. I called every week and was told 5 weeks BO. I searched EBAY, local stores and other mail order stores, ...NOTHING. After 10 weeks, I called Yokohama, who told me that they were still going to make the tire in that size, but they did not know when. To make a long story short, after calling TR & DTD weekly for 3 months and Yoko 5 times, I gave up and ordered 2 Toyo STIII tires in the 305 size to leave the Yokos on the rear and kept the 1 loose Yoko just in case. I am really angry the Yoko simply does NOT want to support their repeat customers. I am DONE with them. It was probably the best thing they could have done, as I am EXTREMELY IMPRESSED WITH THE TOYOS. I am a C6 Corvette Z06 guy who has 3 sets of wheels/tires including Mich Super Sport RunFlats, R-Compound Nittos & Michelin Super Sport nonRFs, who has modified cars for hard cornering for 30 years. I love the capability and safety margins to stop & corner vehicles. These Toyos on the Front of the truck just stick like NO OTHER truck tire that I have ever used before. I can safely dive into corners that simply embarrass many cars that should handle better. I can't wait for the Yokos to wear out so I can permanently ditch the Yokos for the superior Toyos.

...The dry traction is fantastic on these. In 2 wheel drove they hook almost immediately at a 10 mph roll. In all wheel drive they don't spin even from a dead stop full throttle launch...
I've been using this tire on my supercharged 525 HP Tahoe for the last 130,000 miles. Several sets of them. They are awesome tires for wet and dry traction and last a good while. The tread pattern looks cool/mean also. I am now using them on my GMC Yukon Denali which is supercharged and 835 HP. The dry traction is fantastic on these. In 2 wheel drove they hook almost immediately at a 10 mph roll. In all wheel drive they don't spin even from a dead stop full throttle launch. Wet traction is good also. I highly recommend these to anyone with an SUV or truck.
On a side note, I have a 930 HP Shelby GT500. I use the TOYO r888r on it. It has triple the traction that the stock goodyear supercar tire had. And double the traction that I got with Michelin Sport cup 2's that I used before the toyos. I also have a 2019 Corvette ZR1 that came with Michelin pilot supersports. They had literally no traction at all under 75 MPH. I threw them in the garbage and replaced them with the toyo r888r. Now at a 10 or 15 mph roll I get traction at the end of 1st gear on through the gears. The Toyo r888r's transformed both of my cars from tires that were like ice skates/burnout machines, to tires that get amazing traction and plant you in the seat. You feel acceleration G's now. Like a different car now. I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone with a car with substantial Horsepower. And because they are actually a road course tire, they have great handling too which separates them from a drag radial that hopes to get similar straight line traction but can't compete on turns and high speed stability.

...Excellent summer traction, corner like on rails... They still look new with 7k miles on them, so I'm projecting a pretty good tire life.
Was a little apprehensive at first due to the low price, but these are by far the best tires I've had on this car! Excellent summer traction, corner like on rails and decent wet/winter performance from what I've experienced taking them on a few ski trip to Colorado. They also are the quietest tires I've had on the car. Preciously set were the Pirelli Scorpion Zero, which were not bad, but they felt "rubbery" at the cornering limits. These tires do not exhibit this handling characteristic (granted, it's a powerful car). They still look new with 7k miles on them, so I'm projecting a pretty good tire life.

Most reviews scoring 8-10 praise the R888R's treadwear, noting impressive longevity for a track-focused tire, with many achieving 8+ track days or 10,000+ street miles. While some mention rapid wear under aggressive use, users highlight consistent grip through multiple heat cycles and acceptable lifespan when used as intended for competition.
Multiple reviews scoring 6 and below highlight significant concerns with the R888R's wet traction, describing it as slippery and prone to hydroplaning even in light rain. Users report the tires feel unstable, with a tendency to slide around or float on wet roads, making them unsuitable for wet driving despite their track focus.

...They have exceeded my expectations on wear and wet road traction...
I love the look of this tire and they have performed very well for my driving style (I tend to have a lead foot). They have exceeded my expectations on wear and wet road traction. The only downfall is that they are louder than I would prefer. I will definately purchase these again in the future.
