The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 215/45R17 is an ultra high performance summer tire, designed for sports car, luxury vehicle, and high-performance sedan drivers who prioritize excellent dry and wet traction and precise handling in warm weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design combines two high-grip summer compounds, focusing more flexibility along the inboard half for road adhesion and greater rigidity toward the outboard for stable dry handling.
The tire features Toyo's Dynamic Taper Design that reduces block edge deformation for better contact with the road surface, while the casing is engineered to balance pressure distribution under load for improved braking, acceleration, and handling characteristics. The dual-compound construction and asymmetric pattern work together to deliver the grip and responsiveness that performance-oriented drivers expect from a dedicated summer tire.
Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance and handling precision over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in temperatures above freezing.
