Owners most consistently praise the Toyo Proxes TR1 for dry grip, with wet grip also receiving more praise than criticism but a less uniform response. Dry handling, comfort and value are further positives for many drivers. Noise is the clearest complaint, appearing in around one in four reviews. Roughly one in eight mentions overly soft sidewalls, while longer-term wear experiences vary and about one in seven reviews criticise tire life. Two returning reviewers became less positive over time, but their scores do not establish one common cause. The stronger consensus is on dry grip rather than steering precision, quietness or lasting performance.

Had these replaced the Dunlop Enasave EC300+ on my Mazda 2. Tremendous improvement over dry grip, handling and feedback. Wet grip is pretty decent, as I didn't encounter any major slip during a rainy and wet back road run. Seems to complements the characteristics of the car very well as it allows one to lift off over steer and scandi flick with utmost confidence. Has a very distinctive screeching sound which progresses as you push harder over the limits.
The downside is the road noise and comfort. Terrible humming, thought it was my bearings but took the car into 2 tires shop and the usuasl service center only for them to conclude it's the tires.
Dry grip is acceptable for the price point of the tire, wet grip is acceptable as well but can easily break loose with a bit more throttle on my gt86. The comfort is good. But the wear rate is bad and it easily breaks

I got these as a trial against rainsport 3s. indo 50miles a day but sometimes track the car so rainsports were my go to tire. I used to love the early t1r but they seemed to get worse a few years later, maybe a change of production compound? or facility? Any way I love the TR1, budget priced but high midrange performance, grip is awesome in the dry and I have no problems in the wet or standing water, obviously I'm driving within the limits but they do inspire a bit of confidence in the wet, they also look similar to rainsports..... I ran these for a full day at blyton also, no issues on a dry track there, kept the pressure in check and suffered no delaminating or extreme wear. Kept up with everything fine and handled really well. I will buy more of these for sure. The only thing I'd actually swap them out for would be some super sticky road slicks tbh. Car is a light tuned twingo with about 150bhp and 150lbft.

I replaced my Hankook ventus prime 3 with these Toyo tires. Dry performance is much better, less understeering, more direct handling, maybe a bit better braking. However, the wet performance is worse, especially during aquaplaning, when the car felt more unstable, compared to the Hankook.
