Let us delve into a comparison of the Toyo Proxes Comfort (view details) and the Uniroyal RainSport 5 (view details).
Starting with the Toyo Proxes Comfort, manufactured in Japan, it received a favourable rating of 66%. This touring-type, summer tyre boasts great dry handling and braking. It performed well in various tests like Autobild and ADAC, ranking 17th and 14th respectively out of dozens of models tested.
The biggest plus points for the Toyo Proxes Comfort, according to Autobild 2024, were its dynamic wet and dry handling, short braking distances, and low noise. The main letdown seems to be its low mileage.
The Uniroyal RainSport 5, another summer tyre, received a marginally lower rating of 64%. Its extraordinary performance against aquaplaning makes it exceptional in wet conditions. In comparison tests these tyres ranked 19th in Autobild, slightly behind the Toyo Proxes Comfort, but remarkably fell behind in the ADAC test to 31st place.
According to Autobild 2024, the main strength of Uniroyal RainSport 5 is its good performance on wet roads. However, it has notable weaknesses on dry roads and suffers from low mileage and high fuel consumption, reducing its overall suitability for balanced driving conditions.
In conclusion, both tyres have their strengths and suit different driving conditions. Toyo Proxes Comfort excels in dry handling and braking, whereas Uniroyal RainSport 5 is a champion in wet conditions, especially when dealing with aquaplaning. Despite this, both displayed weaknesses in mileage. The choice between these two tyres ultimately comes to specific requirements and preferences of the driver.
