Tire B Toyo Proxes T1 Sport plus

The Toyo Proxes T1 Sport is generally regarded as a high-value, performance-oriented summer tire that excels in dry grip and affordability. While many users praise its handling characteristics and competitive pricing compared to premium alternatives, the consensus is heavily divided regarding its longevity and susceptibility to rapid tread wear.

Pros

  • Strong dry pavement grip and cornering stability
  • High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium brands
  • Generally quiet and comfortable ride quality
  • Effective wet weather performance for a summer compound

Cons

  • Rapid tread wear and short service life
  • Inconsistent performance in heavy rain or standing water
  • Susceptibility to flat-spotting after sitting
  • Soft compound requires precise vehicle alignment to prevent uneven wear

Observations

  • High-horsepower vehicles (e.g., 300whp+ setups) experience significantly accelerated tread wear, often reaching the end of life within 12,000 miles.
  • Users note that the soft compound is sensitive to suspension geometry, with improper toe or camber settings leading to premature inner tread bubbling or shredding.

Tire A

Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS

Positive

Community opinion on the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus is overwhelmingly positive, with drivers praising its excellent dry and wet grip, comfortable and quiet ride, and superior value compared to competitors like Michelin. Users frequently note improvements in launch traction, cornering, and everyday drive quality when switching from stock summer or OEM tires. While most find it to be a stellar high-performance all-season tire, minor questions remain regarding heavy winter performance and occasional reports of tread wear or tread squirm.

“235s Factory Michelin Pilot Sport PS4s —> 245s Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06 Plus Just a quick first impression after changing from stock Summer tires 235/40/18 dimensions to 245/40/18 all season tires. I chose to take a chance and up the tire size/change the compound hoping to not sacrifice too much driving feel. As many are already aware, this 245 tire size is standard for the Morizo Edition*. Overall, I do not regret changing the tire size. Drive 9/10. Looks 10/10. A very small amount of steering feel was lost, but not enough to take away from the experience. If the car was a “track” setup I would stick with stickier performance tires or stock Michelins… but for a daily driver, the Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06 Plus tires in the 245/35/18 dimensions suits the GR Corolla MUCH better in my opinion. The drive is smoother just cruising (does not feel as bouncy over bumps) and tire noise is virtually non existent. The slightly larger sidewall also gives a little more peace of mind on crappy NY roads, pot holes etc. (I have had to plug the stock Michelins 4 times in the last 15 months). Will add more impressions later on if I can give more feedback. **Have not confirmed if speedo accuracy improved or got worse**”

“2.0T + Cont Extremecontact = win Replaced my stock tires at just shy of 35k miles with Continental Extremecontact DWS06 plus tires....my oh MY what a difference! Even when brand-new, the stock michelin all-seasons would spin out every time I'd try to launch...no longer an issue/these feel like a dream. I feel like I'm driving a completely different car now. Far better corner handling/lane changing as well, and they honestly seem to have less road noise as well. To anyone who feels they don't have enough grip/handling on their 2.0T, these are the answer. Haven't had the chance to test in heavy rain yet (or snow come winter), but I'm sure they'll handle well. 10/10 after about a hundred miles or so (likely not even "broken in" yet) Read more”

“Purchased Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus and driving experience has gone way better now Purchased these yesterday and noticed a difference in manoeuvring and braking. It made a significant difference while cruising down and bumps feel better, coming from OEM equipped TOYO from SE 2018”

“New Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus on 2023 MYP (pics + first impressions) After a summer of traveling to visit family and kids on AAU travel teams it was time for some new rubber. Looked down at my rears a few days ago and saw the threads on the inside of the right tire. I used the Tesla community here on Reddit and locked in on the DWS. PepBoys was able to get them in less than 24 hours and even offered a 10% discount. I definitely noticed a smoother ride so far and I would argue a bit more traction. I’ve only had them on for a day so I’ll have to see how much range loss I’ll experience and if they perform better or worse when pushed. I think for $1,500 dollars installed I didn’t do too bad. Plus I believe I have a quality replacement from the OEM that my MYP came with. Anyone else running the DWS06 Plus on their MYP? How’s your long-term wear or efficiency? Read more”

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.
