The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

The table on this site ranked the Toyo Proxes ST yres well above the Bridgestone Duellers for wet grip....total rubbish. From experience I can add that the Toyo's have much less wet grip and steering response....particularly in wet conditions but also in dry conditions.

Given 100% while driving a Mercedes Benz (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 14 average miles
On 2004 Mercedes Ml350. Very heavy full time 4x4 but Proxes STII's grip extremely well even fast cornering on wet country roads. Do not aquaplane when water is across road. That is important as I live in rural area and roads often have water on them in winter. Could not get tyre to slip. Feels very safe. Can't hear any noise when windows down except wind. Driven on long highway trips as well as poor country roads. Done 14,000 kms and hardly worn. Will replace with same.

Very quiet. Seem to be lasting well. Good grip in all conditions except deep snow, but not too bad. I would deffinitly buy again for RR TDV8. Good all round tyre, I don't drive flat out all the time but when I want to I have total confidence in these tyres

After using the premium brands, Conti, Bridge, Pir, I tried Toyo Proxes ST, WOW managed approx. 12500miles on front set and 15000miles on rears normally get between 8-10k on others, always even tyre wear and good rim protector on Toyo Proxes ST . Yes spirited driving some times, not always, due to tyre and fuel prices. Would buy again.

Given 91% while driving a Volkswagen Touareg (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 60,000 spirited miles
05 V8. Drive fast; want grip, comfort, and quiet. The original equip Conti performed but sadly lasted only 17k! ( I thought this was a fluke until reading this blog. ) The dealer was no help so I went to a local tire store instead (why don't dealers wake up?!) The store convinced me to try the Toyo Proxes - I was reluctant to chance losing the quiet and grip of the Conti- but the store guaranteed The Toyos would perform these tasks as well as the Contis and further, that I would get 35-40k. The Proxes ST delivered. The ride was even smoother, stickier, and quieter. That set went 40k with even wear (regular rotation). I am ready for a new set and will be going back to Toyo and the newest Proxes. I should give credit to the store - Les Schwab Tires - an oasis of old fashioned service and value.

These tires are amazing. After six years and more than 85000kms they still behave very well on dry and wet. Actually their performance on wet or even flooded roads is exceptional. I've done several kms on mountain roads, driving on sharp stones without any problems. On the other hand they have little grip on snow. If you are looking for summer high performance tires this is a good and recommended choice.

Given 94% while driving a BMW X5 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 100 spirited miles
I do not know how the folks at Toyo are going to better this .... Was on Michelin daimaRis before this... On sedans I've always liked michelin...they're quiet and responsive... On the X5...it's a nightmare... I thought I was Driving on go-karts...because of that, the x5 felt nervous on high speeds and corners... It felt the car was at 180km/hr when I was driving 140km\hr....

The Toyo Proxes ST2...are just like my michelins on my sedan...quiet, low rolling resistance, a good balance of soft and firm ride on the road... And it feels steady on high speeds..and corners...

I don't know how the folks at Toyo are going to top this with their ST3.... 😃

Meantime I'm loving it...

I just took my Touareg for a service having done 9000 miles since I put four Toyo on. The garage recorded that I had 7mm on the fronts and 8mm on the back. A great tyre that suits the car well.

10,000 miles under my belt on these tyres which are excellent in all departments.

Only downside is that they are becoming expensive for their grouping.

Changed the run flats on my 2008 BMW x5 to toyo proxy st front and rear partly due to price (half the cost) and firm ride. Very pleased with improved ride quality and no loss in grip wet or dry. Over 7000 miles later and minimal wear showing. Should easily get over 20000 miles all 4 tyres. A friend got over 30000 miles from these tyres on his vw touraeg.

If you want a tyre that performs as well as it looks at a reasonable price then the Toyo Proxes ST is a great choice. With these on my Range Rover the car felt amazingly sharp and controlled and they were completely silent. Grip in the dry is great and super in the wet. They even work in light snow. Its really hard to fault this tyre.
