Alright guys, Toyo just came out with a new tire called the Proxes R888, we just recieved a set for a Porsche and I'd have to admit, they're rather impressive. Traction on these are rated at AA and treadwear is rated at 100, so its definently a track tire unless youre ballin and can buy a new set every couple months lol. Heres some pics, we're still getting pricing together for the different sizes out there. If you have any questions gives a call or shoot me a pm. Thanks

*drool* I wish I could have 295 :).
Tread looks awesome, whats the rating for rain/water; or are these strictly trackers?

Very nice.. And if I'm not mistaken, you don't have to shave these down like RA-1's.

Yup mike you are correct..these are mount,balance,and drive tires. No shaving needed.
They are a street/track tire so to speak. However with a 100 treadwear I would rock em on a spare set of rims not the daily driven ones...unless someone has money burning a hole in their pocket and wants crazy traction on the streets.

hahahahaha..I admit I have been guilty of using the clover leaf on/off ramps as a playground and doing multiple laps on them without even gettin on the freeway.
Then I had to go to a twisty road to even out the tire wear on my left tires..:tup:

These are pretty much track tires but they could be driven on the street if you have money burning a hole in ur pocket. They are 100 treadwear. They are however supposed to be able to handle a little rain but I would be careful for sure...enough water and they will def hydroplane.

ill bet at full tread they would be fine in the rain
but once they half worn, id stay away from the wet
