Default C6 TOYO R888 TRACK TIRES - Nearly New SAVE 30%

Are you ready to take your C6 to the next level? These Proxes R888s are Toyo's Racetrack & Autocross tire for road racing, track days and high-performance driving schools. R888 radials meet DOT requirements. Proxes R888 tires feature a R-Compound Tread that maximizes grip for better competitive handling and performance. This compound is molded into a directional V-shaped tread design featuring increased tread area and limited void to improve dry traction while the V-shaped grooves assist with wet traction. Semi-slick shoulder areas improve grip for better steering response while a continuous center contact increases braking performance and dry traction.
The tire's internal structure features an advanced competition modified radial construction for driving hard through the corners and accelerating quickly onto the straight-aways.

These Tires stick great, took seconds off my lap times and have only been used for a single track weekend! They are 265/35-18 front and 305/30-19 rear. They fit rims 9-10.5 inches front and 11-12.5 inches rear. This set cost $1200 new, I am asking $800 plus shipping. Reach out to johna.armstrong@att.net





Wheel not included.



Full Set, Only used one weekend.

I purchased the year before last. They were properly heat cycled and stored one winter at 73 degrees in the basement. They are in great condition.

These tires fit quite a range of wheel widths. I am sure there are plenty of suppliers of wheelsets suitable for the C6 within this range.

Yes, rims that are 18x9.5 (53mm) and 19x11 (73mm) will fit these tires and the C6 perfectly!
