CYPRESS, Calif. (Sept. 4, 2009)—Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has added two 20-inch sizes to its Proxes R888 R-compound tire line designed specifically for fitment on the Nissan GT-R supercar.
The GT-R is a limited production vehicle boasting 485 all-wheel-drive horsepower. Toyo's Proxes R888 competition tire, available for the GT-R in 285/35ZR20 100Y front and 315/30ZR20 101Y rear fitments, helps to further enhance track capabilities of the vehicle, Toyo said.
