Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.

The Toyo Proxes R1R tires receive overwhelmingly positive reviews for their performance in various driving conditions, particularly for high-performance and motorsport applications.

The Toyo Proxes R1R tires are highly regarded for their exceptional performance in dry and wet conditions, making them a popular choice for enthusiasts and racers. While they may wear faster than some all-season tires, users find the trade-off worthwhile for the superior grip and handling characteristics. These tires are particularly well-suited for autocross, track days, and spirited street driving.

Positive highlights

Excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. Great handling and cornering ability. Impressive performance in autocross and track racing. Good balance between street and track use. Smooth transition at the limits of adhesion. Robust construction, holding up well to aggressive driving. Relatively quiet for a high-performance tire. Good value for the price.

Negative highlights

Some users reported faster tread wear, especially with aggressive driving. Can overheat during intense track use, requiring cool-down periods. Limited winter traction (as expected for a performance summer tire).

Very sticky, I run these on my v8 e30 (225/45/16) and only after being in the cold for half a year have they started to lose their stick! These grip great and look the part, haven't pushed them in the rain, but dry they're very functional, drive great, no noise noticed aside from usual e30. Mine have work quickly, but that's on lowered suspension with camber wear

Love, love, LOVE; These tires. These are my first set of tires wider than 205. I very happy with how the car corners and accelerates, both in the dry and the wet.

I purchased the Toyo R1R's for my 2001 Mazda Miata that I use for autocross (STR Class), and during the first run with the new tires, I shaved off 3 seconds off my time on that very first run of the new season. A great handling tire I.M.H.O., but for the record, I do not run these tires outside of autocross racing, so as of now, I cannot comment on wet conditions, and certainly not winter conditions. The folks as Simple Tire are really nice and professional, and I know I will go back and gladly do business with confidence and with them again, not only for performance tires, but also for my other "daily drivers", as well. Thanks, Simple Tire!

Ran 2 7.5hour races at Laguna Seca Raceway. Finish 3rd in class on Saturday and 1st in class on Sunday. Still have tread left. Dry weather grip and wear were very good.

These are great tires for Autocross. This is our second set and we love them!!! We don't use them in the winter so I can't really rate winter traction.
