The Toyo Proxes C1S receives highly polarized feedback, characterized by excellent initial performance that often degrades significantly over time. While many users praise its comfort and dry-weather handling when new, a substantial portion of the user base reports rapid increases in road noise and a sharp decline in wet-weather traction after the first 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers.
Pros
- High levels of comfort and ride quality when new
- Strong initial dry grip and stability at high speeds
- Effective puncture resistance and reinforced sidewall construction
- Attractive tread design and competitive pricing
Cons
- Significant increase in road noise as the tire wears
- Rapid tread wear and premature degradation
- Noticeable decline in wet-weather performance and aquaplaning resistance
- Occasional quality control issues regarding tire balancing
Observations
- Users driving in hot, humid climates (e.g., Malaysia, Thailand) report mixed results, with some finding them ideal for comfort while others note sidewall deflection under heavy loads.
- Performance-oriented vehicles like the Subaru WRX report satisfaction with grip, whereas owners of standard passenger cars frequently cite disappointment with longevity and noise levels.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
