Toyo Tyre Sales and Marketing Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Toyo Tires) unveiled the new Proxes Sport 2 recently.
Toyo Proxes Sport 2 for ‘Unmatched Performance’ and ‘Safety’
To celebrate the launch, the company brought tyre dealers and the media to Resorts World Awana, Genting Highlands to experience the product by allowing them to get behind the wheel.
Designed with the latest tyre technology, the new tyre caters to a wide range of driving enthusiasts, ensuring exceptional performance, safety and durability.
According to Toyo Tires, the two ‘excellent’ features that set the new Proxes Sport 2 tyre apart from its predecessor are the precise handling quality and exceptional wet grip. The tyre’s precise handling performance enables drivers to navigate corners with ease while its exceptional wet grip provides ‘superior’ traction on wet roads, ensuring maximum safety and stability even in challenging weather conditions.
Featuring a unique asymmetrical design pattern optimised for wet and dry conditions, the company claimed that the tyre’s advanced asymmetric tread compound ensured precise handling cornering stability and improved wet traction.
“The Proxes Sport 2 is optimised for high torque powertrains to deliver an exciting drive for all sports drivers. With our commitment to innovation and excellence, we are confident that this series of tyres would quickly become a top choice for drivers seeking an ultra-high-performance tyre,” said Tan Song Chye, President/Managing Director of Toyo Tyre Sales and Marketing Malaysia.
In addition to its ground-breaking performance, the Proxes Sport 2 is built with advanced materials that improve performance. The tyres were crafted with a ‘perfect compound’ to provide drivers with a balanced grip for a comfortable and safe driving experience.
To experience the performance of the Proxes Sport 2, three cars – BMW 3 Series sedan, Mercedes-Benz C200 and Lexus IS 300 – were used for the wet performance braking test and a short slalom to highlight the new tyre’s handling and grip capabilities.
Available in 31 sizes, the Proxes Sport 2 accommodates a wide range of vehicles, from the C-segment (including the compact executive segment) to F-segment cars. Malaysian customers could purchase the Proxes Sport 2 at any of the Toyo Centres with prices ranging from RM700 to RM1,300 per tyre.
The media also had the opportunity to check out the performance of the recently-launched Open Country A/T III (OPA/T3) tyre through a short off-road course. This all-terrain tyre features increased lateral grooves for improved off-road traction, even in challenging conditions. This versatile tyre is designed to handle on- and off-road adventures, catering to various driving preferences. Incorporating Toyo‘s proprietary T-Mode technology and Nano Balance technology, the tyre offers a balance between comfort and performance. It is available in 14 sizes with prices ranging from RM500 to RM1,200.
