RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Toyo Tire Canada Inc. announced today the release of their new ultra-high performance summer tires, the Proxes® T1 Sport for sport coupes and sedans, and the Proxes T1 Sport SUV for sport utility vehicles. They are designed for exceptional handling in both wet and dry conditions.

The Proxes T1 Sport and Proxes T1 Sport SUV have an asymmetric tread design for excellent cornering and braking performance. They feature a rib-based pattern for improved braking, with a wide outside rib for responsive steering and enhanced grip levels. To ensure precise handling and stability at higher speeds, the tread design includes a wide centre rib.  Three wide grooves ensure better water evacuation and improved control in wet conditions.

Exceptional handling capabilities are made possible by the construction design, which features a high stiffness belt and rigid rayon ply for better control and high speed stability. A stiff sidewall offers precise steering, while a performance-oriented silica compound provides exceptional steering, braking and cornering performance.

The Proxes T1 Sport will be available in 60 sizes, ranging from 16”-20” fitments in Y and W speed ratings. The Proxes T1 Sport SUV has 13 sizes from 17”-20” fitments with V, W, and Y speed ratings. Both tires have a UTQG racing of 240 AA A, and will be available in the Canadian market starting April 2011.
