Comparison: Laufenn S Fit EQ+ LK01 vs. Toyo Proxes Comfort

When comparing two tyre options, the Laufenn S Fit EQ+ LK01 and the Toyo Proxes Comfort, some clear differences in performance and test ratings come to light.

The Toyo Proxes Comfort, a touring summer tyre made in Japan, wins out in our personal rating system at 74%. Signature features of this tyre highlighted in tests include its low rolling resistance and excellent dry braking capabilities. The tyre has also performed commendably well in tests by Autobild and ADAC where it was placed 9th out of 51 tyres and 14th out of 50 tyres respectively.

Strengths of the Toyo Proxes Comfort tyre include balanced driving behaviour on wet and dry roads, short dry braking distances, and good rolling comfort as per Autobild's 2022 test. Weaknesses are slight; it has little safety reserves for curve aquaplaning and average tire mileage.

On the other side of the coin, the Laufenn S Fit EQ+ LK01 doesn't fare as well in comparison. Since it is an older model, and has been replaced by a newer version, one would expect it not to perform as well as more modern variants. However, specific strengths of this tyre couldn't be categorized according to test results because of the lack of data. When it comes to positions in the tyre tests, it generally ranks lower; it was placed 21st in the Autobild test involving 51 tyres and 39th in the ADAC test involving 50 tyres.

When it comes to final verdict, based on the test data available, the Toyo Proxes Comfort comes out on top due to better overall performance and consumer ratings. For basic everyday use, durability, and well-rounded features, Toyo is the preferred brand here. However, remember that actual experience can differ based on various conditions like specific vehicle model, driving conditions, or personal preferences.
