Protoura Sport impresses Kuruma News

27th February 2023

Japanese motoring journalist and racing driver Youhei Hashimoto put our Protoura Sport tyres to the test on a Toyota GR86, pushing them to the limit on city and highway roads and on the circuit.

Not only was he impressed by the overall appearance, the performance didn’t disappoint either. Comparing the arrangement of the grooves on the tread to a technique that is ‘seen in the first-class sports tyres’, Hashimoto praised the technical elements of the tyre’s composition and its general quality.

When taking to the road, he tested the tyre on its steering capabilities and stability, with positive results.
