In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Toyo) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Italy (
Pirelli). Generally,
Pirelli summer tyres are slightly better rated (79%) than
Toyo (68%). In this particular case, the Pirelli Cinturato (C3) has a better rating of 94% 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 Pirelli Cinturato (C3) first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2026 245/45 R19 test, where both the
Proxes Sport 2 and the
Cinturato (C3) were tested.
