Amazing tires, last long and sticks like glue even in the rain!

You can always tell fake reviews like the one below by the "BMW M240i" driver, they completely go against general feedback and come across as extremely negative. Well I'm glad they made it so easy for others to identify.

Here's my review. I like the Proxes Sport as a cheaper tire that isn't the best in all categories, but performs well enough to earn its Sport name. I do both longer drives and quick blasts too, and after almost 2000 miles I feel they are a good tire for both... if you can put up with the less supple nature of them. They aren't comfort tires and that's why I marked them lower in that category. Any tire that is better feedback will sacrifice comfort. Road noise however is excellent for the money, I'd say they are quieter than the Proxes T1s I had previously. Grip is fine in dry and wet, with its wet performance an improvement on the old Proxes.

I'd definitely buy them again assuming there weren't any better options out there for the money. 7.5/10.

All I have to say is do not buy these tires. They lasted 3 months. 3 MONTHS! 8000 miles ! Mostly on motorways. It’s absolutely shocking how tires likes these are even allowed to be sold as its not safe at all. They were okay for the first month and a half, grip was good enough, then started slipping in the wet, then in the dry even. 3 months and there is literally no thread left.

All is well until it rains and then I loose the back end of my Honda S2000 on a roundabout at 25mph. I wasn't even pushing it and it sacred me to death. It then did it again in the same trip. Not heavy rain. I've immediately replaced them for a much better rated tire.

Put these on to replace the toyo r888rs I had on, with 440bhp and limited spirited driving, they lasted 6000kms. Have travelled 5000kms on these and wow, out perform the r888rs by a country mile and with a ton of tread left. Treadwear is actually very surprising to say the least. Definitely a quality budget performance tire option.

First off, ignore the optimistic reviews on here. They are obvious and sound like Yanks on crack with their excess positivity. Proxes are fine for the money, but pretty hopeless in some situations such as the wet, or over a cattle grid. Nearly lost control on hitting a cattle grid recently at relatively slow speed. I've had Proxes twice and wasn't all that impressed on either occasion in the wet.

A very good value tire with fairly decent grip in the dry, and good wear after 3000+ miles. I generally drive near the limit of these tires when possible but they feel best suited to cruising with the occasional spirited blast on a b-road. Wet performance is not as good as anticipated, it’s acceptable but braking distance is around the same as the Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 HN tires factory fitted to my car, a softer compound with more dry grip than the Toyo’s but very high wear when used in less than ideal temperatures. If I was on a budget I’d consider these tires again but I will likely get Continental/Goodyear tires next time, or Michelin PS5’s if a deal is available.

25000miles on Mitsubishi Outlander, still some tread left when it went back to the lease company, grip was amazing especially when coupled with the 4wd, really well suited to this car for road use but not so good on grass or snow and really the car would have benefitted from all season mud an snow tires to exploit the 4wd, but for dry or wet tarmac you won't get better for the money (these were fitted as standard)

due to budget, replace this with the worn PS4S. PS4S still the better than this in overall, but with the price point of this Proxes Sport, i am happy with it. dry grip can handle the mild driving at the wavy road. while wet grip is good enough for slightly beyond speed limit on motorway. the Proxes Sport is soft, and even handling part also as soft as you can't really feel any thing. so far approx 5000 miles (8000km), the wear looking good, still have plenty of tread there. overall comfort, i am satisfied with the performance considered the price point.

I've had set of these tires fitted a my MOT a week ago and so far this is my worst experience with tires. I've had TR1 in my previous car and there was a problem with wet grip but it was manageable. These unfortunately are so bad on wet road that I have decided to take them off after only around 100 miles. I terribly regret my decision to buy these. I feel like I thrown my money in the mud.

I have an E36 I drove on the front tires, there is no doubt that the tire is good in the summer when outside is over 25 degrees and dry to drift but when the road is wet do not recommend

These tires were fantastic for the first 3000-4000 miles, however they very quickly started to deteriorate. The performance started to lack after the initial 3000-4000 and I've recently checked the wear at 7000 miles and they are pretty much done, there is less than 3mm left on the tire which I was shocked at. Definitely will not be buying these again due to the awful wear for the price of the tire.

These tires are very different from anything I’ve had put on before... The dry grip is good but not amazing and is VERY predictable, no sudden losses of traction, it’s very progressive. Handling is good but because of the slightly thinner side wall, you can feel the car moving on the tires slightly, it doesn’t change how well it sticks to the road though! Wet grip is absolutely astounding and that’s why I bought these. Round corners, there’s nearly as much grip in the wet as there is in the dry!! Straight line grip isn’t a strong point with these tires in general, but even in the wet its nearly as good as the dry grip! In wet weather I haven’t found a grippier tire, I am yet to find a tire I can go round hairpin turns at 40+ mph with terential rain, haha! Despite the positives of these tires, they wear out quickly, the rubber is very soft and I would probably say that’s why they are so good, but my set lasted me 8000 miles on the front of my R56 Mini Cooper S. I did loads of burnouts and I hooned it about on a daily basis so I’m not the best example of realistic wear on these tires, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them last 20’000+ miles if used properly

I fitted a pair to the front of my Peugeot ZCZ HDi at the end of February just before my MOT was due. The improvement over the Avon’s that were on there was amazing. The biggest improvement though was to the ride quality. It no longer crashed over small potholes & ridges in the road. Well not at the front anyway. Because of lockdown, I didn’t rush to change the worn rears, as per MOT advisory. However, yesterday morning I had a new pair fitted to the rear. Total transformation to the ride quality, yet it still maintained its grip. Even brand new on damp roads. It can only get better. Highly recommended tire!

I have drove a lot last year and in many different conditions with these tires. On daily commutes, on the motorway, on the track, in drag racing events and of course quite a bit of spirited driving.
Initially I liked my set of Proxes Sport as they were very affordable. The amount of grip was very acceptable, although the tires felt quite soft at longer turns and the steering was not as precise as I wanted it to be.
In the wet I had no issues with their performance whatsoever (although I never tracked them in the wet).
Regarding wear. I expected to get a bit more out of them, but after more than 20k mi in just 1 summer season, the rears are totally destroyed and need replacing, while the fronts are at about 50%.
Overall, I think it is a good tire for a lower budget.
