Toyo tyres for passenger cars

1. Winter. The presence of natural abrasive particles in the rubber mix ensures reliable grip on ice and snow covered road. The bamboo charcoal powder added to the rubber improves adsorbing properties of the material and reduces the risk of hydroplaning. The elaborated combination of sipes of various configurations reduces the braking distance and protects the car from skidding on slippery surfaces. Scalloped edges of tread blocks are effective on snow-covered roads. Wide water-removing grooves instantly remove water and dirt from the contact patch with the road. The shoulder areas have special protrusions that act as additional grip edges on snow-covered terrain. The most popular Toyo winter car tyres include:
   • Observe GSi-5;
   • Snowprox S954
   • Observe G3-ICE.
2. Summer. According to the classification of the manufacturer, Toyo summer tires for auto may be divided into the following categories:
   • High speed:
     • For a wide range of passenger cars: from middle to executive class. The walls of the grooves have special configuration, and contribute to efficient absorption of acoustic vibrations. The wide center rib with special holes ensures good roadholding ability and steerability of the vehicle. Rounded shoulder zones reduce noise of the car tires. Specifically directed grooves ensure efficient protection from hydroplaning. Rigid shoulder zones increase vehicle stability during maneuvering at high speed. In this category, the following types of tyres are most popular:
       • Proxes C1S;
       • Proxes T1-R;
       • Proxes CF2.
     • For sports cars. Wide longitudinal grooves of these tyres effectively remove water from the contact patch. Large shoulder blocks of the tread improve vehicle steerability when cornering. High content of silicon dioxide ensures secure grip on wet roads. A well-developed system of drainage grooves significantly reduces the possibility of hydroplaning. The latest Toyo developments are:
       • Proxes T1 Sport;
       • Proxes T1R;
       • DRB;
       • Proxes R1R.
     • For racing cars. They are intended for use mainly on racing tracks, but are also suitable for public roads. They feature excellent steerability and instant response to steering commands. They are made of soft rubber having high heat conductivity. The wide grooves located at considerable distances from each other ensure vehicle stability during cornering, and excellent lateral grip at high speed. This category is represented by the following names:
       • Proxes R888
       • Proxes R888R.
   • For driving at medium speeds. These tires are suitable for installation on medium and small class cars. They have been designed for those who value fuel efficiency of the vehicle. They feature low rolling resistance, durability, resistance to hydroplaning, and well-balanced performance both on dry and wet roads. This category includes NanoEnergy 3 tyres.
