The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 225/45R17 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 specialized high-grip summer compounds, focusing 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 design helps balance pressure distribution under load for improved braking, acceleration, and handling performance. With only 4 driver evaluations available, comprehensive performance data is still developing, though the tire's construction suggests it targets drivers seeking technology-focused performance capabilities.
Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather grip 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 warm, dry and wet conditions where freezing temperatures, snow, and ice are not concerns.
