💡 Is the Toyo Proxes TQ 255/50R16 a Good Tire?
The Toyo Proxes TQ 255/50R16 is an all-season drag racing tire designed for mid-size SUVs and crossovers, though primarily used on muscle cars and performance vehicles. It delivers maximum dry traction for acceleration with adequate wet performance thanks to its specialized compound optimized for drag strip launches. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise, as comfort takes a backseat to performance capabilities. Tread life is below average for daily driving use, designed more for weekend racing than high-mileage commuting. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it excels at the drag strip but is not practical for all-weather daily driving due to its performance-focused design. Currently priced from $233.51, it is available through major online tire retailers.
