Toyo Tires Proxes Sport - New max summer performance tires
Picked up a new set of Toyo Proxes Sport in 245/40R17. They recently launched these tires and they have been amazing so far. Very comfortable ride and great grip at a price that won't break the bank! I was debating on these or the MPSS/MPS4S but those were way more expensive for almost the same performance level. The Proxes Sport is a 240AA tire with a 25,000 mile warranty

240 tread wear and 25k miles just doesn't sound real. But I'm curious about how they do under hard driving. Will you get them to the track? I've been curious about these and the fairly new 240 TW offering from Bridgestone lately.

i have only ran the OEM tires on this car prior to the Proxes Sport.... comparing to stock, these tires are much stickier.. it's actually quieter than stock for whatever reason...
no autox or track days yet, but planning to do so sometime this year... one test i do daily is an S-curve on the way to work.. on stocks, my exit speed was around 47 mph.. on the Proxes Sport, it was around 51 mph with higher speeds throughout the curve... my friend's frs is on Federal SS-595 and he hates them.. too loud and grip is not as good as the proxes sport (according to my friend after he test drove my car) as for the 240AA and mileage warranty, it's probably pro-rated and at the discrepancy of the manufacturer.. it's the same for all tire warranties out there.. at least a warranty is offered |
