Last Spring, I announced that I was once again teaming up with Toyo Tires for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Together, we have been working together to prepare for the upcoming 102nd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb which will take place on June 23rd.
What I haven’t shared yet (although some may have guessed) is that I have been quietly helping to develop & test a brand new DOT Competition race tire with Toyo for the past 11 months, and I am stoked to finally be able to talk about it!
The all new Toyo “Proxes R” is a completely redesigned tire that replaces the long-standing “RR” and it is finally public now. It will be available for purchase starting in April of 2024.
I will also have the honor of racing to the clouds on the “Proxes R” and I am beyond humbled by the opportunity and the support from Karl, Cameron, Dionne, Stan, DK, Steve, and many others from Toyo. Together, we’ll be running a 295/30/18 tire up front and a 315/30/18 tire in the rear of my Trackspec Autosports built Pikes Peak carbon widebody E46 BMW M3.
In the meantime, please visit the Toyo website to learn more about the “Proxes R” and check out this awesome video below which was filmed in December of 2023 at Willow Springs International Raceway. It features yours truly, along with the homies Tazio Otis and Marcus Fry.
