Strengths & weaknesses

Toyo Proxes Sport 2 — Strengths: balanced behaviour on dry and wet surfaces, short dry braking distances, good wet handling traits in some tests (aquaplaning cross, wet circle). Weaknesses: limited predicted mileage, slightly higher wear and weight, and some compromises in ride comfort and aquaplaning vs top competitors. Autobild notes a reduced kilometer performance and higher price as reasons for downgrading.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 — Strengths: exemplary handling on both dry and wet surfaces, precise turn-in, short braking distances, low rolling resistance, low wear and very good predicted mileage. Tests describe it as a “Testsieger” with sportily dynamic handling and excellent all-around balance. Weaknesses: reviewers report no significant flaws; its main downside can be its premium segment price — though many tests still rate its price/performance positively.

Verdict — which tyre is better overall?

If you prioritise outright dynamic performance, braking, long-term wear and low rolling resistance, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is clearly the better choice: it outperforms the Toyo across multiple independent tests and earns a much higher overall score (91% vs 65%). The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 remains a competent option if you want a balanced sporty tyre with good wet/dry behaviour, but it lags behind in longevity and top-level handling metrics.

Final recommendation: choose Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for best-in-class performance and efficiency; consider Toyo Proxes Sport 2 only if budget or specific ride characteristics make it a better match for your needs.
