Features |
| Competitive Handling and
Improved Performance |
- Advanced casing and V-shaped tread design
- Stiffer construction and wider tread width enable the
R888 to generate more cornering force, with less heat
degradation
- Spiral wound cap ply (construction may vary by size)
|
| Steering Response |
- Semi-slick shoulder area improves steering response
- Steel wire reinforced sidewalls (construction may vary
by size)
|
| Braking Performance and
Dry Traction |
- Continuous center contact increases braking performance
and feel as compared to the Proxes RA1™
- Tread depth can be shaved to maximize dry traction
|
| Wet Traction and Control |
- The V-shaped tread design also enhances wet traction
and control
|
General Proxes R888 setup guidelines:
|
140°
to 220°F
Higher
than 220°F the tire performance will start
to go off, although temperatures as high as 300°F
have been seen before blistering takes place.
Note: These
tires should not be stored below 0° Celsius
to prevent tread compound from craking.
Do not store inflated.
