Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community discussions regarding the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 are relatively limited due to it being a newly released tire, with many users asking for comparisons against established premium options. Owners generally report positive impressions regarding value for money and performance, though some express concerns over faster-than-expected treadwear. Additionally, frequent naming confusion occurs across automotive forums where 'PS2' references the legacy Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 rather than the Toyo Proxes Sport 2.
“I have Toyo proxes sport 2 on a mustang gt. Very happy with them. The kumho ecstasy sport s is supposed to be better in every way though. Continental extreme contact sport 2 is one of the best ultra high performance/summer performance available right now but a but more expensive.. Michelin makes excellent tires, but competition is getting tight for them. Hard to justify the price now adays”
“Had conti 2's on my audi s4 and they were downright terrible. Traction was good for about a month and then they just got loud and sloppy. Went to the ps2's after about 15k miles and abosultely loved them. Dry traction was improved greatly as was ride comfort and noise. They only lasted 20,000 miles but well worth the investment. I've never had a good experience with any continental tire so I can't imagine the sc3's being worth a gamble as they are not cheap.”

Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02, 73 vs 55 on our treadwear score.
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.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
