Our tyre tests and reviews provide an in-depth comparison of two Ultra High Performance (UHP) summer tyres, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 made by Toyo and the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 produced by Maxxis. Based on comprehensive evaluation, our team has rated Toyo Proxes Sport 2 at 72%, slightly higher than the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 which received a 69% rating.
Moving on to the Autobild test, among the 50 tyre models analysed, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 clinched 9th position whereas the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 was a close 10th. Both tyres showcased remarkable "Wet circle cornering" performance, making them viable options for rainy climates.
The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 exhibits a balanced driving behaviour on both wet and dry tracks, noted particularly for its short dry-braking distance. The limitations of this tyre include restricted tread life and a slightly higher price, affecting its overall evaluation.
On the other hand, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 offers exceptional safety reserves in aquaplaning conditions and secure dynamic wet handling. The weaknesses, however, come in the form of average tread life and a noticeably delayed steering response.
To conclude, despite some minor flaws, both tyres prove to be solid choices in the UHP tyre sector, with good performance in critical conditions like wet circle cornering. If you prioritise balanced performance across different weather conditions and can afford to splurge a little, Toyo Proxes Sport 2 is the way to go. However, if the price point and wet handling are your major considerations, Maxxis Victra Sport 5 could be the better choice for you.
Whether you choose the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 or Maxxis Victra Sport 5, it's crucial to find a tyre that best matches your driving style and conditions. Make sure to check out the detailed reviews and individual tyre ratings on our website before making your final decision.
