Toyo Tires Debuts Proxes Comfort, Redefining Luxury Comfort for Passenger Cars and SUVs

• Designed to deliver refined luxury comfort, stability, and assured grip
• Features Dynamic Taper Design, optimised profile, and advanced tread compound for safer, smoother driving

Kuala Lumpur, 6th February 2026 – As demand for modern mobility vehicles continues to rise, Malaysian drivers are placing greater emphasis on safety, efficiency, and everyday comfort. According to the data from Car Fuel Type Summary (2000-2025)¹, adoption of electrified vehicles has grown by more than 300% over the past four years, reflecting a clear shift in driving needs and expectations.

Responding to this evolution, Mr Tan Song Chye, President and Managing Director of Toyo Tyre Sales And Marketing Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., said: “Toyo Tires will introduce three new tyre models under its Proxes series over the next three years, each developed to support the performance demands of modern mobility. Proxes Comfort is the first model launched under this strategy, marking a key milestone in Toyo Tires’ product roadmap in Malaysia.”

The All-New Proxes Comfort

The all-new Proxes Comfort represents the next generation of Toyo’s luxury comfort tyre lineup. Developed in Japan, Proxes Comfort is engineered for modern mobility, combining advanced design with proven technologies to deliver a safe, comfortable, and confident driving experience on Malaysia’s diverse roads and in varying conditions.

Engineered to deliver the three qualities essential for Malaysian drivers: strong wet grip to handle frequent rain, stable handling through corners, and a comfortable ride for extended journeys, Proxes Comfort achieves these through a combination of advanced tread design, optimised contact pressure, and a refined tyre structure.

Key features and benefits

At the core of Proxes Comfort is a combination of an advanced tread compound, reinforced internal structure, and optimised tread pattern. Together, these elements provide enhanced speed stability and superior braking performance in both wet and dry conditions.

Enhanced speed stability: An optimised tyre profile reduces strain on the bead and belt edges, ensuring consistent ground contact at high speeds and during cornering. This contributes to greater stability during lane changes, tight turns, and sustained highway journeys, particularly under varying load conditions.

Superior wet and dry handling & traction: Conventional groove designs can lead to uneven contact pressure and reduced braking stability. Proxes Comfort addresses this through Toyo Tires’ Dynamic Taper Design, which helps the grooves maintain more consistent contact with the road surface. This improves pressure distribution, enhances block stiffness, and supports stable braking and handling in both wet and dry conditions, including during sudden stops, heavy rain, and stop-and-go traffic.

Compared with its predecessor, the Proxes CF 2, the Proxes Comfort achieves an 8% shorter dry braking distance and a 13% shorter wet braking distance, reinforcing its focus on safety across varying road conditions.

Proxes Comfort passenger car and SUV tyres are currently available in 14 sizes, with rim diameters ranging from 16 to 19 inches, with more sizes coming soon to meet diverse driving needs. Most variants feature Extra Load (XL) ratings, supporting the higher weight requirements of BEVs, HEVs, and PHEVs. Among the available sizes, 11 are EV-ready, with ride comfort and noise reduction rated 5/5, including EV-optimised noise performance. Designed primarily for B, C, and E segment vehicles, Proxes Comfort is suited for drivers who frequently travel long distances and spend extended time on highways. Recommended retail prices range from RM279 to RM698, depending on the size.
