When it comes to high-performance summer tyres, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 and the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 are both contenders to consider. Each offers its own unique set of advantages that may make it the better choice for your vehicle.
The Toyo Proxes Sport 2, produced by Toyo, has an overall rating of 63% with a strength in wet circle cornering as seen in the AutoBild test. Although it had a lower test position in comparison to the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 in both Autozeitung and AutoBild tests, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 still showed a respectable performance for an Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyre. Its performance is balanced during both wet and dry conditions, offering short braking distances on dry terrain. However, its limitations include a restricted mileage and a higher price, which leads to a reduction in value.
On the other hand, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 from Pirelli earned a remarkable rating of 89%, significantly outperforming the Toyo Proxes Sport 2. As a Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) summer tyre, it claimed a higher position in both Autozeitung and AutoBild tests. The P ZERO PZ4 displayed excellent features such as great handling in both dry and wet conditions, effective wet braking, precision wet circle cornering, and more. Similar to the Toyo tyre, its drawbacks include a restricted mileage and a higher price.
Verdict: Based on the given data, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 is the better overall tyre. It's higher test positions and array of strengths outweigh its limitations, proving it to be a more reliable and efficient choice for a summer tyre. However, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 still proves to be a competent tyre and could be a good alternative depending on individual driving needs and preferences.
Note that both tyres have not been replaced with newer models at this time; any updates will be provided once available.
