The Toyo Proxes TQ is widely regarded as a high-performance drag radial that excels in straight-line traction for high-horsepower vehicles. While users praise its ability to put significant power to the pavement, the tire's specialized design necessitates caution in adverse weather conditions and compromises in lateral stability.
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.
By owner reviews
32/100From 11 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Toyo Proxes TQ is widely regarded as a high-performance drag radial that excels in straight-line traction for high-horsepower vehicles. While users praise its ability to put significant power to the pavement, the tire's specialized design necessitates caution in adverse weather conditions and compromises in lateral stability.
Pros
- Exceptional straight-line traction and launch capability for high-horsepower applications
- Competitive pricing compared to other drag radial alternatives
- Surprisingly quiet operation during normal street driving
- Predictable grip characteristics once the tire reaches operating temperature
Cons
- Dangerous handling characteristics in heavy rain or standing water
- Noticeable sidewall flex during aggressive cornering or rapid steering inputs
- Requires proper heat cycling/warming to achieve maximum performance
- Limited suitability for daily driving due to wet-weather instability
Worth knowing
- High-horsepower platforms like the C5 Corvette, Viper GTS, and Cobra report excellent launch performance with these tires.
- Users noted that the tire's soft sidewall construction can lead to a 'rolling' sensation during quick lane changes or cornering maneuvers.
