Performance Analysis

Toyo Proxes Comfort delivers balanced touring performance with standout dry handling and competitive braking/value in larger test fields. Across 17 summer tests it frequently scores top-tier results in dry handling and often places upper-mid in dry braking and noise, with occasional strong value and rolling resistance showings. Wet capability is acceptable but inconsistent, and aquaplaning resistance tends to be mid-to-lower tier, which drags overall rankings. SUV/motorhome sizes amplify this variability, especially in wet braking.
Overall, the tyre suits drivers prioritizing stable dry-road manners, comfort/noise, and sensible pricing, but those in very wet climates or seeking top aquaplaning margins should note recurring mid-pack to weak wet metrics.
