The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 245/35R18 is an ultra high performance summer tire, designed for sports car, luxury vehicle, and high-performance sedan drivers who prioritize exceptional dry traction and precise handling in warm weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design combines dual high-grip summer compounds with strategic flexibility distribution—more pliable inboard sections for road adhesion and rigid outboard areas for stable cornering.
The tire features Toyo's Dynamic Taper Design that reduces block edge deformation for better contact patch consistency, while the specialized casing construction helps balance pressure distribution under load for improved braking, acceleration, and handling response. The dual-compound approach and asymmetric pattern work together to optimize both wet and dry performance while promoting more even wear patterns. With 4 driver evaluations providing real-world feedback, users can expect focused performance characteristics typical of the ultra high performance summer category.
