In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Toyo) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
Firestone). Generally,
Toyo summer tyres are slightly better rated (69%) than
Firestone (68%). In this particular case, the Toyo Proxes Comfort has a better rating of 74% compared to 73% of the Firestone Firehawk Sport. The first tyre test of Toyo Proxes Comfort was done in 2021, compared to 2023 when was the Firestone Firehawk Sport first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the
Proxes Comfort and the
Firehawk Sport were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
Proxes Comfort is made in Japan and
Firehawk Sport is made in Italy.
