Toyo Proxes R1R ??
Does anyone have any experience w/ the Toyo Proxes R1R? I know it's a new tire, but I can't find much info. The Toyo sites lists a 255/35/18. This is what I currently run on all 4 corners, but I know that some tires can be wider than others. Does anyone know if this will fit on the front of an e90 for sure?
I'm also interested in pricing. I can't find anything anywhere. I'm trying to decide on track tires for the upcoming season and these are the only ones that I can't find any info on. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks! |

I tried it on an STI and it's the best tire I've ever used. The traction is amazing as the limit is far beyond anything I have used before.
I plan to use these on my own car. This is a brand new tire and I don't believe prices in the US have been released yet. |

googled a lil around the net. I found some really positive responses, mostly from drifters, like higher cornering speed, good control etc., but I dunno if a drifter is the best reference for tires...
anyway, the tires are really new, I think they are going to be released feb21 in UK, so I'm curious about some tire tests/comparisons made after. If U happen to have something usefull, post it. thx

You should be able to fit the 255s on all four corners without a problem (if you stay near the stock wheel offset). I've used the Toyo R888s on 18x8.5 SSR Type Cs in 255/35 18 with no rubbing.
