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.
By owner reviews
80/100From 252 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
71/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 is widely praised by drivers for delivering exceptional dry and wet grip that rivals top-tier premium competitors at a more accessible price point. While overall handling, cornering confidence, and value receive high marks, a notable minority of users report faster-than-expected treadwear and occasional road noise.
Pros
- Exceptional grip in both dry and wet conditions
- High value for money compared to premium competitors like Michelin and Continental
- Precise steering response and predictable handling
- Noticeable improvement in comfort and compliance over factory run-flat tires
Cons
- Faster than average treadwear or short mileage lifespan reported by some drivers
- Higher road noise levels noted on certain wider sizes or as the tire wears
- Slightly reduced traction in cold or heavy standing water once the tread wears down
Worth knowing
- Users fitting wider sizes (such as 265 and 295 widths) occasionally noted higher-than-expected road noise.
- Drivers transitioning from stiff run-flat tires on sports sedans like the Alfa Romeo Giulia reported a massive improvement in ride comfort.
- Heavy vehicles, such as high-torque diesel hatchbacks and SUVs, experienced varied longevity, with some noting rapid front-axle wear under aggressive driving.

What owners are saying
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of the scores above.
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.
