Toyo Proxes R1r's


Recommended Posts

AS the title says wat r ur opinions on these tyres as im goin 2 be getting sum new rims soon and am looking at these tyres but would like other peoples opinions. I know the top level drifters use them but wondering what they would be like on the street and the ocasional track day and supersprints. http://www.toyo.com.au/Proxes%20R1R.htm.

Or would i b better off with the proxes t1r's or the proxes4. Thanks for ur time

to be honest they are a bit pricey if u want to waste them on the roads, proxes4 would be a good option for road and even on track, they a really sticky tyres, the r1r's are awsome tyres, you just need to ahve a look at the top drifters and you can see how grippy they are, i do recommend toyo's because they have always worked the best for me, but check out the tyre thread as said above

Have T1Rs. I reckon there's better out there for the money. What exactly, I'm not sure yet though.

Adrenalins possibly?

I have T1R'S they've been great but you can feel they lose a lot of grip towards the end of their life. Thats probably to be expected with any tyre though.

I love to see a comparison or if someone has compared the following: Adrenalins vs T1R's vs R1R's.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
