<strong>TOYO</strong> <strong>PROXES</strong> 4<br />
New generation All-season UHP for a wide variety of<br />
contemporary sedans and coupes<br />
<strong>TOYO</strong> <strong>PROXES</strong> 4<br />
Product Concept<br />
Toyo <strong>PROXES</strong> 4, New generation All-season<br />
UHP radial meets the increasing demand of<br />
affordable All-season performance with stylish<br />
and attractive tread and sidewall design.<br />
Covering 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 series with V<br />
and W speed-rate, Proxes4 offers wide<br />
selection in plus-sizing applications for a wide<br />
variety of contemporary sedans and coupes.<br />
In order to achieve excellent dry and wet<br />
handling performance, "T-mode", Toyo's new<br />
advanced tire design technology has been<br />
successfully applied for its development.<br />
Features and Benefits<br />
Improved Dry Performance<br />
Optimized shoulder and mediate block distribution and a stable curving center rib provide excellent cornering<br />
performance and directional stability in dry condition.<br />
Excellent Wet Performance (UTQG TRACTION GRADE : AA)<br />
Unique W-shape tread design with diagonal grooves effectively disperse water on wet surface, while special<br />
tire compound provides firm contact grip resulting in excellent wet performance, without sacrificing the tire<br />
wear.<br />
Low Noise<br />
Five variable pitch pattern and optimized sipe distribution minimize noise generation, contributing to quiet<br />
and comfortable ride.

Multiwave sipe works as follows :<br />
When the force is exerted on the tread blocks in driving or braking, tread blocks<br />
is supported by sipe wall, which reduce deformation of the tread blocks.<br />
