Toyo Tire Proxes R888R, 235 /40 R18 95Y XL BSW
Toyo Proxes R888R
Faster lap times and better performance are yours for the taking with the Toyo Proxes R888R.
Toyo Proxes R888R DOT Competition Tires Features
Built on the winning legacy of the Proxes R888, the R888R lays down all-out traction and highly responsive steering inputs. If your number-one goal is to be #1, one of the best upgrades you can make is outfitting your ride with the Toyo R888R. But don’t be surprised if your competition makes the swap just keep up.
With its DOT-approved tread pattern, the Proxes R888R is the perfect tire to get you to the track and back, especially so you don’t have to spend time and money on equipment or trailers.
Featuring Toyo’s aggressive R-compound, a proprietary high-grip racing rubber compound, the Toyo R888R rapidly reaches and maintains optimal operating temperatures for consistent and excellent performance at speed. For those curious, Toyo recommends an operating heat range of 160 – 220-degrees fahrenheit for optimal performance.
Not only does the R-compound of the Proxes R888R help you quickly put heat into it (thus minimizing unnecessary wear), it also creates serious lateral grip for extreme cornering performance. And its asymmetric tread pattern and race-focused contact patch put more rubber on its outside shoulder for the snappy and predictable steering input you need when you’re door-to-door.
Other performance features of the Proxes R888R include:
A wide center rib that enhances straight-line stability and overall steering response for excellent dry performance.
Massive outside tread blocks generate powerful lateral grip for responsive cornering.
Competent control in wet conditions provided by its water evacuation channel, which enhances wet traction and mitigates hydroplaning.
A nylon reinforcement ply ensures stability at high speeds for consistent control at passing speed.
Toyo Proxes R888R Treadwear and Warranty
With its optimized tread design and soft tread compound, you can rely on the Toyo R888R for predictable handling and thrilling performance at the track. And because it’s DOT-approved, you can also count on your new Toyo tires for reliable transportation to and from the track so that you’re always ready to rock.
But if you want protection that performs to the standard of your R888R tires, consider our exclusive Certificates. They’ll cover your new competition tires from our store to the track and anywhere in between.
And we’ll set you up with a brand new replacement if your R888R tires are damaged in any way we can’t repair.
(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a professional racecar driver, you're sure to get faster lap times and better dry handling when your vehicle rolls on a set of Toyo Proxes R888R tires.

Proxes R888R Customer Reviews
Great looking tire. Really sets the car off. Very pleased.
Very nice tires for the 85 corvette.
Corvette
These are not meant for Wet driving, we purchased a second set of wheels, and will be purchasing more tires for wet conditions.
Miata
This tread design is ancient. They work okay until they get hot and then they are very unpredictable. They break traction with no warning, and before you can catch it, you are spinning out. Not a good track tire at all, but they might be okay for street use.
