Toyo Proxes RA1 Tire - 255/50ZR16

The Toyo Proxes RA1 is a DOT-marked competition tire for road racing. It uses a softer, durable rubber compound aimed at grip and competitive handling, and it comes with 8/32" of tread, which Toyo says helps wet traction. Toyo notes that once the tread is shaved down to 4/32", dry traction improves.

The stepped tread has more tread area and limited voids, with a groove layout meant to support both dry and wet grip. Staggered, directional tread blocks are designed to improve handling and reduce road noise, and tread-depth indicators near the shoulders let you measure wear. Toyo names race-prepared cars such as the BMW E30, Mazda Miata, Honda CRX, Honda Civic and Honda S2000 as typical applications.
