Toyo Proxes 4 Plus Tire Review & Rating

The Proxes 4 Plus from Toyo is quickly making its presence felt. Designed for drivers of sport coupes and sedans, this high performance all-season tire is built to deliver impressive traction and cornering to go along with a quiet and comfortable ride as well.

A silica-enhanced high-performance tread compound and asymmetric tread pattern is developed to provide enhanced dry and wet traction and handling, while also increasing treadlife. A closed shoulder and wider ribs increase cornering grip and create more responsive steering, which is something this tire does very well.

Four circumferential grooves and high density siping around the tread increase handling and braking performance on wet road surfaces, while reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The multi-wave sipes further provide biting edges for added grip on light snow covered streets and highways, as well as give the tire a more quiet ride quality.

Inside the tire you will find two steel belts that are nylon wrapped for added reinforcement. This provides more strength and durability throughout the speed range. A polyester cord body further enhances ride comfort and promotes more even treadwear. Toyo offers sizes ranging from 16-20 inches, and you’ll find up to a 50,000 mile tread guarantee on this tire depending on the speed rating.

Pros

• Excellent dry and wet traction
• Braking, acceleration and cornering grip are outstanding
• Tires are very quiet
• Long lasting treadlife and very good warranty

Cons

• Takes a few miles to get used to driving on them
• Winter handling

Overall Thoughts

Toyo has a winner with this model. Expect to find excellent traction for an HP all-season tire. Cornering grip is comparable to nearly any Summer high performance tire you want to match it up to. The tire may take a few miles to get used to in the corners for more spirited drivers due to the sidewall, but once you get used to it you’ll find it to be fun to drive. To no ones surprise really, traction on snow and ice is nothing to write home about. Unless you only drive in light snow, you’ll likely encounter difficulty.

The one area we were very surprised to find was in how quiet this tire is. For this type of tire it rides almost like a grand touring tire. Tread life is very good on this model, and it is backed up with a nice tread warranty.

Overall, this is one of Toyo’s better tires that provides some of the best performance in its class.
