Toyo Proxes T1 Sport

These tyres came on my factory new 2017 Mazda6 wagon. They performed quite well, with moderate road noise. Rotated every 10,000kms regularly. Achieved 50,000 KMs (30,000 miles). Probably would have got a bit more distance if I'd had a couple of wheel alignments. Replaced recently with Continental MC6's.

I'm using Toyo Proxes T1 Sport in my Mazda 6. They are excellent in every sense. I've done 54,000 kms on them and they still look new (low wear level). Their noise level is also low and car run is very smooth. One of the best tyres I've used.

I am really disappointed by the sensitivity to bumps and "channels" on the road. As soon as they enter the "channel" (usually left by frequent trucks' passes) the tyres become uncontrolable... At first I thought it had something to do with the car, but this stopped happening once I mounted the winter Kleber tyres. So evidently, it has something to do with this specific tyre. Hard breaking also often leads close to strong deviation to either side... Nothing that I would expect from Toyo. I will not buy them again

I love these tyres I used to buy run flats Bridgestone huellers but wanted to try these, I previous had some toyos on my evo and wanted to try them on my X6 and I was pleasantly surprised, they grip so well especially accelerating and cornering but a big heavy suv. So much quieter then my previous ones and smother on a run. Highly recommend these on a big car

Replaced my Pirrelli P Zero's on my Mk2 Audi TT Quattro Black Edition after getting annoyed with the noise of the Zero's and quick wear at 12000 miles. Very impressed with the 71db and markedly quieter in the cabin with the Toyos Sport . Wear wise these again outdo the Zero with minimum 17000 a set before i change them out. At £120 a tyre fitted on Black Circles these are cheap. A good mid range tyre that ive happily had on my car several times and would do again happily.

Very good tyre!
My Merc had Goodyears, bud went all over the road.
Just fitted new Toyos. Now it handles sharp in the corners, and the steer wheel is "standing" now.

No idea of the wear out yet, 0 kms driven.

Driven my Audi A6 on a set of michelins for less than a couple of years but wore fairly quick & was amazed to see they were cracking on outside walls! Replaced with Toyo Proxes tyres after a friends recommendation... Full set for £310. But budget tyres were £260 alone, so not much more. He was spot on in the last month I have had them drive is miles better the grip is great impressed so far!

the 3rd time tha i put it to my car Track day car and daily car no comments amzing tyre

I drive all year round in all types of weather. Long and short distances. Throughout all terains. I had these tyres on my Audi TT from new. I have used other tyres and go back to Toyo every time.. Great prices and quality, I will continue to be a loyal customer. Quotes vary from £345 per tyre to £102.00....Definitely shop around.

This tires is not good for high performances car especially if drive fast. The treadwear very fast wore out especially outside. Not more than 10k km i've to change tires already. This tire kinda noisy after 1500 to 2000km run. If you plan to race or hill speeding, I wouldn't suggest this model.

I bought a full set to replace a still (just) road legal set of Falken branded tyres that I inherited on a second hand four year old average mileage Volvo V60 1.6 D2. As luck would have it, the car had just received a 4 wheel alignment as part of warranty work, so I knew my four new tyres stood the best chance of even wear.

First impressions were positive overall, especially ride quality compared to the Falkens which were a bit 'crashy'. The Toyo's offered good grip in the dry (if a little soft on turn in) and decent enough in the wet on a mixture of roads and speeds. My only slight criticism was a 'grabby' feeling from the front end with the tyres keen to tramline a little, especially at lower speeds on urban roads, but other than this, I was very pleased for the money with excellent comfort when cruising on the motorway.

As mileage progressed the handling and ride stayed consistent, with no vibration or wheel wobble developing right up until they were replaced, so this shows the construction is very good. However my major criticism of these tyres would be the very high wear rate. Bearing in mind mine were fitted to a low power 115bhp 1.6 diesel (and they were used through the winter months) the fronts were pretty much done for in only 16K. The grabby nature had also worsened on the front, and was becoming a liability.

I fully realise many will hold the view 'you get what you pay for...' however the Proxes are a known brand, were not a price based purchase, and were only a little cheaper than equivalent Yokohama or Goodyear, so the savings were not huge, and in retrospect, any small incidental 'saving' made was lost with the high wear rate.

My summary of the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport would be a well constructed tyre with decent enough levels of grip and comfort in all conditions for the average motorist, however higher mileage drivers should look elsewhere.

Good grippy tyres but would not buy again as the wear rate is ridiculous

In straight line these tyres grip as good as P-Zeros, Michelin Supersport/Pilot Sports 2/3. A little softer in the side wall and therefore feels different in the corners but where the others tyres let go suddenly, you can predict more with the squirm/feedback from these. Wear is good for a tyre of this performance, I dont understand how some people can complain about the wear besides the price is brilliant. Over 8,000 kms and there is still a lot of tread. Cant comment on rain driving as I dont drive this car,(450 HP R32 GTR) in the rain but I see nothing different on a wet surface.

I own a BMW 318ci Convertible, so we are not talking about a car that is breaking any land speed records. After owning these tyres for 4 months and driving at tops 5,000 miles, the rears are ripped to shreds, I am very disappointed with the life of this tyre. However, the handling/braking in both wet and dry has been fine and they have been very comfortable tyres. Due to the short life of these tyres I will definitely be looking elsewhere next time.
