💡 Is the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 285/35R21 a Good Tire?
The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 285/35R21 is a summer performance tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers strong dry grip and solid wet performance thanks to its silica-enhanced compound and directional tread pattern with wide circumferential grooves. Ride comfort is firm but controlled, prioritizing handling precision over low road noise typical of performance-oriented designs. Tread life is moderate for its category, as the soft compound trades longevity for grip. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath editorial review, it excels in warm weather performance but is not winter-rated and may wear faster than touring alternatives. Currently priced from $401.64, it is available through major online tire retailers.

The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 285/35R21 is an ultra high performance summer tire, designed for sports car, luxury vehicle, and high-performance sedan drivers who prioritize exceptional dry handling and wet traction in warm weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design combines two specialized compounds to balance flexibility for road adhesion on the inboard side with rigidity for stable dry handling on the outboard side.
The tire features Toyo's Dynamic Taper Design that reduces block edge deformation for improved contact with the road surface, while the casing construction helps distribute pressure evenly under load to enhance braking, acceleration, and handling performance. This engineering approach also promotes more even treadwear across the tire's surface. With 4 driver evaluations providing real-world feedback, users can expect focused performance characteristics suited to demanding driving conditions.
Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum grip and handling precision in warm weather over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in dry and wet summer conditions.
