Ballistic BJ Baldwin discusses what happens to the Toyo Tires he uses in his spectacular Recoil series of hit films. https://t.co/z4AQgcbrSX via @toyotires_eu
Proxes R888 was developed to deliver maximum dry handling and quick lap times for racing and track days.
With continuous centre tread and wide shoulders, Proxes R888 offers enhanced track driving.
Proxes R888 is an original equipment option for Renault Megane R26.R
A new version with improved cornering, consistent performance characteristics and longer life becomes available in 2015. Please visit the Proxes R888R page to see the tire.

Unidirectional V-Shaped Tread Design
Increased tread area and limited void improves dry traction V-shaped grooves assist with wet traction.
CAUTION! The rubber compounds used in these tires have unique properties that can cause them to lose some of their flexibilty when used or handled in temperatures below -9°C. This loss in flexibility can lead to potential cracking and other damage to the tire. The example on the right illustrates the potential damage. |

To minimise the chances of this happening, consumers and installers are advised to follow the instructions below:
1. Do not move or operate a vehicle fitted with these tires in temperatures below -9°C.
2. Avoid moving these tires in temperatures below -9°C
3. Before mounting or dismounting, store these tires for at least 24 hours in a temperature controlled environment of 200C or warmer and always inspect for signs of cracking before mounting. Never use tires that have cracked.
4. Remove the wheels from the vehicle and deflate the tires to half the normal air pressure during prolonged periods of inactivity or for storage.
Proxes R888 has a stiff race construction and a race tread compound. The optimum tread temperature range is between 71C and 105C measured using a probe type pyrometer, and ideally a maximum difference across the tread of 15C. The maximum hot pressure should not exceed 40psi.
