Toyo Tires launches new Proxes CF2
Toyo Tires has launched a new tyre promising the highest levels of safety, grip and wet-weather performance in an attractive case design that comes in many sizes and fitments. The new Proxes CF2 offers outstanding all-round ability and excellent value for money.
Ideal for medium and high-powered cars, the CF2 utilises the very latest materials and production methods, drawing heavily from Toyo’s UHP and Motorsport ranges to create a tyre that offers exceptionally high levels of safety, durability, and comfort.
Safety was high on the wishlists of Toyo’s engineer’s during the design phase, and this is evident in the tread compound and optimised pattern stiffness. As a result, the Proxes CF2 offers improved water evacuation capability, and 15 per cent better wet-weather grip than its predecessor.
An optimised tread pattern ensures maximum braking performance in all conditions and situations, combined with reassuring and communicative handling. Wet or dry, the Proxes CF2 is a tyre that telegraphs information back to the driver for an involving and rewarding driving experience.
Although the Proxes CF2 has clearly been designed to be highly capable in all conditions, Toyo has been equally stringent in its design demands for comfort and efficiency. Low noise and excellent high-speed stability ensure a smooth and comfortable ride, while the clever blending of Super Active, Grip and Wear Resistant polymers offer drivers improved fuel economy and 25 per cent less rolling resistance than the outgoing Proxes CF1. The tyre itself is also said to be capable of up to 41 per cent longer life than the previous model.
The tread features four longitudinal grooves to move standing, while the jointless cap ply and polyester casing promise durability, response and stability. Ribbed shoulder blocks are said to offer low noise at motorway speeds and the lightweight construction is designed to ensure low rolling resistance and noise – only 70dB under the new EU labelling programme.
To begin with, some 45 different fitments will be available upon UK launch, ranging from 175/65/R15 through to 235/45/R17.
