Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 633 owner reviews found online.

The Toyo Proxes Comfort receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from users, who frequently praise its exceptional wet-weather performance, low noise levels, and high value for money. While the majority of drivers note a smooth, quiet ride and dependable grip, a small minority report firmer ride qualities or reduced feedback during aggressive cornering.

Pros

  • Excellent wet weather grip and handling
  • Low road noise and quiet operation
  • Strong value for money and affordable pricing
  • Good straight-line stability and smooth highway cruising
  • Balanced overall performance for daily driving

Cons

  • Limited feedback and slight understeer when pushed hard
  • Some drivers experienced a firmer or less comfortable ride over bumps
  • Faster wear reported compared to premium long-lasting alternatives like Michelin

Worth knowing

  • Users driving smaller hatchbacks and daily commuters found them ideal for city and motorway speeds.
  • Drivers noted good compatibility with vehicles where Toyo is often specified as original equipment (such as Mazda models).
