Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Proxes Sport

Pros

  • Significantly more affordable than premium tier summer tires while offering around 80-90% of the performance
  • Commendable grip and handling in dry conditions with a progressive, predictable breakaway
  • Low road noise and generally high ride comfort compared to factory run-flats or older performance tires

Cons

  • Faster-than-expected tread wear, with multiple users reporting replacement necessary between 6,000 and 12,000 miles
  • Inconsistent or slippery wet-weather traction and occasional tendency to hydroplane in heavy standing water
  • Stiff sidewalls on certain sizes leading to a harsher ride quality or increased noise for some drivers

Tire B Proxes ST

Tire A

Toyo Proxes Sport

Positive

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.

How do we compare tires?

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.
