The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 245/45R18 is an ultra high performance summer tire, designed for sports car, luxury vehicle, and high-performance sedan drivers who prioritize exceptional dry and wet traction and precise handling in warm weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design combines two specialized high-grip summer compounds, with increased flexibility on the inboard half for road adhesion and greater rigidity on 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 to improve braking, acceleration, and handling performance. Based on 4 driver evaluations, the tire delivers the focused performance expected from this category, though specific ratings for wet, dry, comfort, and treadwear characteristics are still being compiled.
Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance and handling precision over year-round versatility, requiring storage and use only in temperatures well above freezing. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance-oriented vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in warm, dry and wet conditions.
