Lighten Your Front End!
Motorheads are always in search of ways for more power or less weight. When it comes to removing weight from your Mustang, taking it off the front end of the car is preferable to removing it from elsewhere.

[01/17/2003] Toyo Tires® Expands Proxes RA-1™ Sizing for the Track

By: -


Toyo Tires® has announced the addition of a variety of new tire sizes to their race-proven line of Proxes RA-1™ radials. Highly popular with roadracing, autocross and touring cars, these DOT-approved competition tires are now available in the following new 17-inch sizes: 205/40ZR17, 235/45ZR17, 255/40ZR17 and 275/40ZR17. Three new 18-inch diameter tires have also been produced for the demands of today’s high-powered machines, a 225/40ZR18, 275/35ZR18 and a 335/30ZR18.

The Proxes RA-1™ features improved cornering stability and transient response. Its superior thermal stability ensures a more consistent, longer-lasting tire for repeated use on the track. As a result, drivers can rely on consistent aggregate times during a race. Chassis setups are much easier as well, thanks to the consistency of the Proxes RA-1™. The tread is molded with an 8/32-inch tread depth for superior wet traction, while it can be shaved to 3/32-inch to generate extreme dry cornering force.

Proxes RA-1™ tires feature “V” or “Z” ratings (depending on size), and are also available in 13-, 14-, 15-,16-, 17- and 18-inch. All Proxes RA-1™ tires are labeled with the following ratings: Tread Wear 40, Traction A and Temperature A. For more information, contact your local Toyo Tires® retailer, or browse the Performance Tire section of the Toyo website at teamtoyo.com.

Toyo manufactures and distributes a complete line of high performance and original equipment replacement tires for passenger car, light truck, commercial truck, bus, off-road and construction applications.
