This tire is difficult to judge on comfort as I ran lowering springs, but I wouldn't say they were in comfortable. When I first purchased some alloy wheels, a had 4 different tires, tread depths you name it. They were poor. Footing a set of proxes t1r's literally transformed the car. Dry grip was unbelievable, car cornered like a house fly. I later fitted some to a Mégane and that was the same, gave me so much confidence to through a car into a bend and it would hold. Really stable at high speeds as well from the stiffer side walls.

5 stars

My size is very odd in Malaysia so theres little to no performance tires. I have been on almost 3 sets of ATR Sport. THose things are terrible at wet but great at dry, before 50% used at least. TR1 is great at wet, previously with the same wet road I would just glide lol. TR1 managed to grip and slow me down, impressive. They are both a few bucks different only. I drive a Proton, nothing in the list haha

Grip in the dry is phenomenal. Eagle F1 levels of dry grip and for such an affordable price too. Bang average in the wet, but it's a UHP summer tire!! Absolutely nothing else can beat it at this price point.

I ran two of these on one end and michelin PS5s on the other end. Night and day difference. The toyos would fold quite easily under 30psi, i ran mine at around 33psi, they wouldnt grip the same as the PS5s. I experimented putting the toyos on the front and the car understeered. I put them on the back and the car oversteered. So i learnt my lesson not to cheap out on tires. In conclusion, these tires and okay but not for your spirited drivers. Hope this helps

This was my second summer with this tire (20,000km/12.500 miles) and I am just trying to wear them out, so I can replace them. It was a dry summer, atypical for Hungary, so the inadequacies in the wet were not exposed too often. However, even a damp road causes embarrassing wheel-spin (only 72kW/98BHP) at traffic lights and squealing tires on familiar sharp corners, taken enthusiastically. No such problem with my all-season Hankook 4S2 tires, which are used only for winter.

I bought a set of TR1s for my Corolla T-Sport to see if they could wake the car up, and boy did the car come alive. Not only is the tread pattern pleasing to the eye, it does very well in both wet and dry conditions. For a near 200 bhp FWD car, these tires are perfect. They don't break the bank compared to Pilot Sports or P-Zeroes and they do a really good job in fast driving. Even in the wet these tires are fantastic. They don't struggle to put the power down that badly and with the TR1s on the car, not once has the car aquaplaned through puddles or trails of water on the motorway. They also provide a good ride when cruising, which is surprising but also very nice, as you'd expect. I can't blame the wear as I have been driving hard - I recently rotated the fronts to the rear as they are near the legal limit. I recently bought a set of MX5 alloys to go onto the car, and once they are refurbished, I'll be getting another set of TR1s with a 45 profile to keep the Corolla's new found underdog handling.

TL;DR - Very good performance tire for less than Pilot Sports or P-Zeroes

buy this tire unplanned & without survey. noisy tire and very soft wall.
been around malaysia with this tire from KL to Kedah & KL to Johor with noisy level that cant be handle. not recommended for other to buy this tire.

Before putting on this tire I had Fuldas fitted on my car, and they were pretty old and worn out, probably had around 4,5mm of tread on them...to my surprise, they handled better on dry pavement, then these new Toyo proxes TR1. I drove on Toyo's for about 5000km, and sold them...I was not happy with the performace on dry roads in summer time.

I have had these tires on my Civic. They look great, handle great but are so prone to cupping I threw them away after 15000km!
And half those miles were noisy to the point it was no longer a smooth drive. NOTE my daily car is perfectly aligned, has good shocks and I have a proper driving style with over 30000km annually.

Never again for a daily, I now only buy Toyo semi slicks for my track car.

I have been using these tires on a BMW E30 320i.I drive it just for pure pleasure during dry days. The tires behave exceptionally well. In fact I did not expect it.The price range they are at is very reasonable vs. the performance. Comfort is more than decent. Can't say much about the durability as I have not used them for long time. I would definitely buy Toyo again, this time for my Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce.

I bought my car on June of 2004 with a different brand of tires (Michelen Pilot sport).
After 3 years, for first time, I put Toyo and I still wear Toyo.
It's my second set of Proxes tr1 and when the time come to change it (I have a lot of miles for this moment, during the lockdown I didn't move the car) I will buy the same or the newest tire of Toyo

the best tires at a decent price. together with pirelli they are the best tires I have had. the adhesion is excellent. a little noisy.

These tires really over-performed my expectations, its truly a reason why these tires are the official rain or wet tires for GT circuit racing in Norway.
These tires has both been used on street driving and now 3 track days and I can say it does very well on both occasions!
The most impressive feature of this tire when driving on the track is that you can feel the limits of grip slowly going away as you're pushing the limit, meaning there's no sudden snap between grip and no grip. This makes it easier for me to learn the limits of my car and my tires since it gives me confidence to push the limits.
Only minus I really have is that the tires after 3 track days has gotten heat damage and has become louder after track use, though I suspect this would be the case for most tires after hard use.
Its one of the cheaper sports tires that are actually good and worth the money! Perfect tire before moving towards semi-slicks for sure!

One of best tires for sporty tires. Makes a whole difference. Control and drives perfectly in dry and well ine wet. You have full control in any weather conditions. I usually run in tight corners and man these tires grip to the road like nothing before.
The only drawback is of course the comfort which is compromise.
