From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Nexen ArrowSpeed Performance UHP receives highly critical feedback, with users reporting significant deficiencies in handling, traction, and structural integrity. The consensus suggests that the tire fails to meet the performance expectations of an Ultra High Performance category, leading to a poor driving experience and safety concerns.
Cons
- Severe lack of traction and grip
- Excessive road noise
- Poor structural integrity and sidewall stability
- Unpredictable handling and excessive understeer
Observations
- Users reported significant instability and swaying during direction changes when the tires were mounted on the rear axle.
- The tire's soft construction was noted to cause handling issues even at moderate speeds, requiring electronic stability control intervention.
The Toyo Proxes T1 Sport SUV is generally regarded as a high-value performance tire that offers impressive dry grip and handling characteristics at a competitive price point. While many users praise its responsiveness and comfort, the consensus is heavily divided regarding tread longevity, with a significant number of owners reporting rapid wear and sensitivity to alignment settings.
Pros
- Excellent dry weather grip and cornering stability
- High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium competitors
- Generally quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Responsive handling for spirited driving
Cons
- Rapid tread wear and short overall lifespan
- Inconsistent wet weather performance and hydroplaning resistance
- Sensitivity to vehicle alignment, leading to premature inner-edge wear
- Occasional reports of flat-spotting after sitting
Observations
- Users with high-performance SUVs and heavy vehicles report improved handling dynamics compared to budget alternatives, though tread life remains a concern.
- Drivers of performance sedans note that the tire's soft compound requires precise alignment to prevent uneven wear, particularly on the inner tread.

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.
