Toyo Proxes Sport 2 Tests & Review

Toyo delivers strong dry braking and handling, along with excellent wet lateral stability and low noise. However, it struggles with wet braking, has high rolling resistance, and very limited wear resistance. This makes it a tire with clear strengths for dry performance but notable drawbacks in durability and fuel efficiency.
