Tires are one of the most important factors in how a vehicle feels on the road. They connect power to pavement, dictate braking performance, and influence everything from steering response to ride comfort. Toyo Tires knows this, and with the release of the Proxes Sport 2, they’ve taken their max performance summer tire lineup to the next level.
Designed for a broad range of performance vehicles, including gas, hybrid, and electric models, this tire blends new tread compounds, an evolved tread pattern, and an improved casing to enhance wet and dry traction. The goal is more precise handling, better cornering stability, and shorter stopping distances compared to the previous Proxes Sport. It's a true sequel.
A key update is the redesigned profile, which helps the tire maintain contact with the road under hard cornering. Dual silica tread compounds play a crucial role here - softer on the inside for adaptability to changing road surfaces, while firmer on the outside to resist deformation and maintain stability when loading up a corner. The asymmetric tread pattern and dynamic taper design ensure consistent traction whether accelerating, braking, or threading a line through a bend.
Beyond performance, the Proxes Sport 2 also prioritizes efficiency and ride quality. Rolling resistance is kept in check, which translates to better fuel economy. While max performance summer tires often come with trade-offs in comfort, Toyo has tuned this one for a smoother, quieter ride when not being pushed to the limit.
With sizes ranging from 17 to 22 inches and speed ratings in the Y and (Y) categories, the Proxes Sport 2 is available in over 80 fitments, covering a wide array of performance cars, crossovers, and SUVs. From staggered setups to aftermarket wheel upgrades, it’s meant to cater to enthusiasts looking for a balance of capability and refinement. Fitments include everything from the Audi SQ5 and BMW M models to the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Tesla Model X, and Toyota Supra GR.
The Proxes Sport 2 will be hitting the market in March 2025, backed by a 40,000-kilometer treadwear warranty and a 30-day trial offer. Whether you’re looking to enhance your daily drive or sharpen your weekend track toy, this latest offering from Toyo looks set to deliver where it counts.
