“Quote: Originally Posted by Brian Goodwin I own both the Falken and Toyo Proxes Sport, both in 235/40-17. The Toyo rides better, the Falken goes faster through the turns, and turn-in response is much quicker. I have not bothered to take the Toyo to the track because around our fun canyon roads it is clearly slower and with less grip than the Falken. The Falken feels like a race tire, complete with stiff sidewall support for crisp turn-in, used those for track and autocross over the last few months, including two wins in class at autocross. The Toyo feels like a street tire, much like the Continental ECS, complete with much lower weight because sidewalls are comparatively soft and squishy next to the Falken. If you want a soft daily driver 235/40 and you accept it is a few clicks slower than the Falken, the Toyo is great as a daily driver. But if you expect that Toyo to keep up with the Falken on track days, you will be disappointed. Great feedback, thanks Brian. Wish there were more options in this size! May just stick with the RT660s, especially now with the HKS GT2 on the car”

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community sentiment for the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is predominantly positive, with drivers praising its dry and wet grip, responsive handling, and substantial upgrade over stock tires. However, several users report drawbacks including mediocre deep snow performance, noticeable road noise or ride stiffness compared to competitors like the Continental DWS 06 Plus, and an efficiency or range penalty on electric vehicles.
“I got 30k miles out of the pilot sport 4s and pilot sport all season 4. The cost difference was not too bad and the all season 4 grip almost as well and are rated to 11f vs 40f for the pilot sport 4s. And they all wore evenly. Upsizing definitely made it feel more planted 245 275.”
“If you drive the car as a weekend driver, as I do, then I think the Firestone summer tires are the best bet. Maximum performance, best feel, etc. I will put only 1000 to 2000 miles a year on my car. However, if I were to use the car more, I would choose a Michelin max performance all season tire. These are nearly as good as the Firestones will be, in the dry, but will be quieter, smoother riding, and last twice as many miles. Michelin makes the world's best tires and no other company even comes close. I would have bought Michelin but they don't make a summer tire in our size. But they do make this and it would be my choice if I drove the car more. They're only a bit more money than the Firestones: MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON 4 Ultra High Performance All-Season Size: 205/45ZR17 88Y XL”
“I daily drive a BMW 328i, which is rear wheel drive. I have the AS4s, and they are great for most conditions. I previously had dedicated summer tires, which just didn't cut it for the number of "in between" weather days we have here. I do have dedicated snow tires, and will always suggest those whenever possible, because I did test the AS4s in light snow and they were just adequate. Traction was predictable, but being a RWD car the difference with actual dedicated snow tires is night and day.”

Community sentiment toward the Toyo Proxes Sport family is generally positive, with drivers praising its ride comfort, good value for money, and competent daily street grip. Many owners appreciate unique size options like 345/25-20 for high-performance cars, though enthusiasts note that dedicated track tires offer superior turn-in sharpness and ultimate traction. A common topic of discussion is the scarcity of extensive real-world reviews, particularly regarding newer variants.
“Had the older version on an SRT8. Grip & performance were great. But wear was not. 10K miles(2 rotations) is all I got.”
“Toyo Proxes Sport 2 Really enjoyed these Proxes Sport 2s on my Alpina over the last year - in fact they’re so good I’ve put them on the B3 too! Great value for money. Read more”
“I have real world experience with the Toyo Proxes Sport AS+. This may be the best all around tire on the planet IMO. I'm old and so I've tried multiple tires in real world conditions as a daily driver with performance in mind. I know every Michelin and Pirelli. I've become an expert on available tires in the USA.. What you will find with This tire: * They are immediately quiet *Resist hydroplaning in big water * Higher than expected dry performance in super hot weather for an AS * Maintain tread pattern to the death and remain quiet. These tires are next level.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
