Performance Analysis

Across 8 summer tests, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 shows a clear performance-leaning character: consistently strong in dry grip/track-style metrics (especially dry handling) and generally solid in dry braking. However, its wet performance is more mixed-typically mid-pack in wet braking/handling with recurring weaknesses in aquaplaning (particularly curved aquaplaning), preventing it from challenging the class leaders overall.

The most persistent drawbacks are in ownership-focused areas: wear/longevity and value/price-per-distance regularly rank near the bottom, and rolling resistance tends to be below the best in class. Net result: a capable sporty tyre with standout dry dynamics, but compromised by durability/value and inconsistent high-water stability.
