Toyo Tires Unveils New Proxes Sport 2

2024-10-30T16:09:34+00:00

Toyo Tires’ new Proxes Sport 2 is designed to bring enhanced handling and traction to modern sports cars, CUVs, and SUVs across gas, hybrid, and electric platforms. This updated Max Performance summer tire focuses on improved control and response, featuring a re-engineered tread compound and casing that offers better wet and dry grip, shorter braking distances, and improved stability over the previous Proxes Sport model.

The Proxes Sport 2’s dual-silica tread compounds play a central role in this update, with an inner compound that adjusts to various road surfaces for consistent grip and an outer compound that resists deformation to support cornering. The asymmetric tread design helps maintain consistent road contact, which improves traction during acceleration, braking, and turns, while also contributing to a quieter, smoother ride for daily driving.

With over 75 sizes between 17 and 22 inches, the Proxes Sport 2 is set to be released in February 2025. The lineup includes fitments for models like the Audi SQ5, BMW M Models, Tesla Model X, and Toyota Supra GR. Offering a 25,000-mile treadwear warranty and a 45-day trial, Toyo aims to meet the needs of drivers seeking precision and versatility in a tire built for a wide range of performance vehicles.

Eaton’s Mobility Group is rolling out two new aftermarket differentials for diesel-powered GM trucks and Jeep off-road builds, designed to deliver serious traction upgrades. The new Detroit Truetrac 31-spline differential fits GM’s 11.5-inch rear axle on 2020+ 2500HD Silverado and Sierra models, bringing extra stability and grip for heavy-duty towing or demanding terrain. For Jeep fans, the 35-spline ELocker offers enhanced durability and torque control, a perfect match for 2018 and older Jeep models with Dana 44 axles, including Wrangler JK, TJ, LJ, and CJ variants.

These new differentials will debut at SEMA 2024, giving enthusiasts a first look at Eaton’s latest innovations. The Detroit Truetrac delivers smooth, automatic, limited-slip functionality using helical gears, staying out of the way during normal driving but seamlessly locking up when the traction challenge ramps up. For those looking for on-the-fly control, the ELocker shifts from open to fully locked with a dash switch, ensuring drivers get instant grip for tough climbs and technical obstacles.

Backed by years of refining their differential portfolio, Eaton’s new additions showcase the brand’s commitment to performance-driven upgrades for popular North American vehicles. Both units will be available from Eaton’s U.S. distribution centers starting late Q1 2025, ready to elevate traction and durability for work and adventure alike.

With reinforced sidewall armor, the G003 SxS not only looks aggressive but is built to withstand sidewall damage from rocks and rough terrain, keeping your rig protected.

Optimized Traction Design:
A balanced void-to-lug ratio delivers consistent grip across loose dirt, mud, and gravel, while mud and stone ejectors clear debris for uninterrupted traction.

Long-Lasting Compound:
A high-density compound reduces the likelihood of cuts and chips, ensuring long tread life for more time out on the trails.

The GEOLANDAR M/T G003 SxS is built to meet the demands of today’s off-road enthusiasts, bringing Yokohama’s renowned off-road durability and trail-ready toughness to the SxS world.

KW Suspensions Releases V5 Coilovers for 2012-2017 SRT Viper

2024-10-16T22:19:07+00:00

KW Suspensions has launched the four-way adjustable V5 coilover system for the SRT Viper, offering next-level handling and performance customization. Utilizing KW's Solid Piston technology, drawn from their motorsports expertise, the V5 dampers separate high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments, allowing for precise tuning. Unlike traditional dampers, the V5 design moves the hydraulic fluid into a separate valve body, resulting in higher damping forces, more grip, and enhanced feedback on the road. Drivers can achieve stepless lowering from 10 to 20 millimeters up front and 5 to 20 millimeters at the rear, maintaining ride comfort without compromising the Viper's raw performance.

Florian Johann, KW Brand Manager, highlights the system’s advanced design: “With our solid-piston suspensions, we can work with much lower spring rates on road suspensions than with other systems thanks to the higher force range of the dampers.” The KW V5 offers fine-tuning through ergonomic adjustment wheels and is available with an optional hydraulic lift system to raise the car by 45 millimeters when needed. Pricing starts at $11,999, with the lift system pushing the MSRP to $15,599.
