In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Toyo) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Toyo summer tyres are slightly better rated (68%) than
Kumho (59%). In this particular case, the Kumho Ecsta Sport (PS72) has a better rating of 87% compared to 65% of the Toyo Proxes Sport 2. The first tyre test of Toyo Proxes Sport 2 was done in 2023, compared to 2025 when was the Kumho Ecsta Sport (PS72) first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2026 245/45 R19 test, where both the
Proxes Sport 2 and the
Ecsta Sport (PS72) were tested.
