The Toyo Proxes 1 presents a polarizing profile, offering high-performance dry and wet grip that often exceeds standard factory-fitted tires. However, this performance comes at the cost of inconsistent tread longevity and poor rolling resistance, making it a divisive choice for daily drivers concerned with long-term value.

What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

Pros

Exceptional dry and wet weather grip
Improved steering feedback and handling characteristics
Competitive price point
Noticeable reduction in road noise compared to some OEM alternatives

Cons

Extremely rapid tread wear, particularly under high-torque conditions
Poor rolling resistance
Uneven tread wear patterns, specifically premature shoulder degradation
Short overall service life

Worth knowing

Users with high-torque diesel vehicles reported significantly accelerated tread wear, with some experiencing as little as 7,500 miles of service.
The 205/50/17 size is noted for offering high value-for-money performance despite the longevity drawbacks.
