From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Firestone Multihawk 2 is generally regarded as a budget-friendly, dry-weather performer that offers good comfort and low noise levels. However, it receives significant criticism for its performance in wet conditions, with multiple users reporting dangerous levels of traction loss and unpredictable handling during rain.
Pros
- Strong dry-weather grip and handling
- High levels of ride comfort
- Low road noise
- Competitive price point
Cons
- Poor wet-weather traction and braking performance
- Unpredictable handling and tendency to slide on wet surfaces
- Lack of audible feedback when reaching the limit of grip
- Concerns regarding tread wear longevity
Observations
- Users noted that the tire's performance characteristics are highly dependent on climate, with dry-weather satisfaction being high in arid regions.
- Drivers reported significant rear-end instability when the tires were fitted to the rear axle in wet conditions.
The Toyo Proxes Comfort is generally regarded as a high-value, reliable touring tire that excels in daily driving conditions. While most users praise its wet and dry grip, quiet operation, and competitive price point, a minority of drivers report inconsistent performance, particularly regarding ride harshness and handling feedback during spirited maneuvers.
Pros
- Excellent value for money compared to premium brands
- Strong wet and dry traction for daily commuting
- Low road noise and high levels of comfort
- Predictable handling and steering responsiveness
- Good tread longevity for high-mileage users
Cons

- Occasional instances of early understeer
- Inconsistent wet weather performance reported by a small subset of users
Observations
- Users with FWD hatchbacks, such as the Honda Civic and Citroen C4, reported high satisfaction with grip and responsiveness.

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.
