In the ever competitive world of tyres, the Petlas Imperium PT515 and the Toyo Proxes Comfort have been pitted against each other in multiple tests. To help you make an informed decision about which one might be the best for you, we have summarized and compared the test results below.
The Petlas Imperium PT515, made in Turkey, is a summer tyre that has confirmed its longevity and durability in tests. However, its performances on both wet and dry surfaces have shown to be lacking balance, with significant weaknesses being marked (Autobild 2024 test). Moreover, it came in 35th and 30th place respectively in the Autobild and ADAC tests, showing that it falls behind in overall performances compared to a total of 53 and 50 tyres respectively. Despite its shortcomings, the Petlas PT515 is known for its high mileage and low wear, suggesting potential cost savings in the long run. However, notable weaknesses in sustainability indicate the need for improvements from its manufacturer.
On the other hand, the Toyo Proxes Comfort, made in Japan, outperformed the Petlas PT515 by securing 17th and 14th place in the Autobild and ADAC tests respectively. The strengths of this summer tyre lie in its dynamic handling in both wet and dry conditions, and its particularly short braking distances. Users have also noted its quiet running noise, which greatly enhances the overall driving comfort. However, its lifespan falls on the lower end of the scale, which might imply more frequent replacement and additional costs. Manufactured by Toyo, this tyre thrives in delivering comfortable and stable rides, but may need to focus on improving tyre longevity in the future.
In conclusion, based on our ratings, the Toyo Proxes Comfort (66%) outperforms the Petlas Imperium PT515 (48%). It offers better handling, braking, and noise levels. But, if longevity and wear resistance are your priorities, you might still want to consider the Petlas tyre. However, overall, the data implies that the Toyo Proxes Comfort provides a better balance of benefits, making it the superior tyre in these mutual tests.
