TOYO PROXES Comfort rated "Good" again

12 March 2024

The current AUTO BILD summer tyre test 2024, which was published in the first week of March on their homepage.

In total, 55 summer tyres from various manufacturers took part in this test. These were reduced after testing to a shortlist of just 20 of the best performing products. Proxes Comfort qualified for this final round, ultimately receiving an overall rating of "GOOD". The handling on wet and dry surfaces as well as the comfort were evaluated. In testing, the tyre impressed with short braking distances and dynamic wet and dry handling. Proxes Comfort also demonstrated very quiet rolling noise as well as being available at a moderate price level. 

The dimension 205/55 R16 94V was tested. This size is the most commonly used in europe, being fitted on a wide range of cars including VW Golf, AUDI A3, OPEL Astra and SEAT Leon.

In 2022, the tyre was tested by AUTO BILD Allrad in the SUV dimension 235/55 R18 100V and was also awarded the rating “Good“. Proxes Comfort has a modern tread compound and construction, offers good braking behaviour and high driving stability, even when cornering.

Toyo Tires not only have the best tyres but the best team and support on and off track. Always striving to improve on perfection and with this allowed us to win the Formula Drift Japan Championship with the Proxes R888R Drift.
I use Open Country M/T on my everyday Mazda BT50 that is kitted out for lots of fun plus used to haul the race cars from track to track.

Pikes Peak was an incredible experience for mine and my team TCP-Magic, and we were also able to break 2 world records with Fastest Mazda and Fastest Rotary Powered Vehicle in the 101yrs history of Pikes Peak. TOYO TIRES constructed us 2 amazing tyre options for the challenging conditions the mountain threw at us with the wild weather. I still can't believe the amount of traction we had and how the tyre lasted the massive climb to the top with 156 corners up to 14,000 feet in elevation not to mention fitted on our crazy 2023 Mazda 3 with a 1400h 4 rotor Twin Turbo and RWD conversion running NO traction control, ABS or any type of assists.

Toyo Tires has been my top choice long before we became partners. I have tried and tested many other brands in the past, but none of them met my needs like Toyo did.

Claiming over 100 podium finishes and winning championships every single year in various motorsport disciplines for over 10 years demonstrates the versatility of the Proxes compounds, which performed exceptionally on any track and in any conditions. With Toyo R888R, I can anticipate and predict the next manoeuvre with clarity, maintaining full control in extreme racing conditions from start to finish, regardless of driving style or racing type.

I have been participating in the Dakar Rally, one of the most challenging Cross-Country Rallies in the world and American off-road races with Open Country M/T-R since 2021.
Open Country has impressive performance in all kinds of off-road terrain with a variety of specs to meet each need. With Open Country, I am confident even when attacking unknown places.
I also sympathize with the way Toyo Tires continues to be a challenger, always aims for better and higher performance for the future.
Aiming for the best driving with Open Country is one of my purposes in life.
