Performance Analysis

Drawn from 23 tests. Updated September 15, 2025.

Across 23 summer tests, the Toyo Proxes Sport consistently trails class leaders, averaging 9.3rd overall with multiple bottom-three finishes, especially in dry and wet braking and objective handling. It shows recurrent deficits of 7-14% vs. best in dry braking and 10-20% in wet braking across several years and sizes. However, it repeatedly excels in straight-line aquaplaning and often delivers decent subjective comfort/noise and value in some tests. Overall, it's a mid-to-lower tier UHP option prioritized for aquaplaning security rather than ultimate grip or efficiency.

Key strengths are strong aquaplaning resistance (frequent 1st-4th places) and occasional good subjective comfort/noise. Key weaknesses are braking performance (dry and wet), objective handling pace, and rolling resistance/wear, which depress overall rankings and recommendations.
