Comparison: Toyo Proxes Sport 2 vs. Yokohama Advan Sport V107

On this tyre tests website, we're comparing two highly sought-after summer tyres: the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 and the Yokohama Advan Sport V107. These tyres represent the significant oeuvres of their manufacturers, Toyo and Yokohama, respectively.

Starting with the Toyo Proxes Sport 2, this tyre is classified under the UHP subType and has an impressive rating of 72%. It displays balanced handling on both wet and dry surfaces and provides short dry braking distances. However, it is criticized for its limited mileage and higher price in the Autobild 2018 and Autobild 2023 tests. Despite these drawbacks, in the mutual test positions, the Proxes Sport 2 ranked 11/18 in the ADAC test and 10/50 in Autobild's studies. This convinces us of its consistent performance in multiple tests and its great value for summer drives.

This brings us to the Yokohama Advan Sport V107. It received a rating of 42% from our site. The Advan Sport V107 is praised for its excellent dry road properties, good wet road attributes, and lower fuel consumption in the Autobild 2018 analysis. The car's dynamic dry handling and short wet and dry braking distances were highlighted in the Autobild 2023 review. Nevertheless, slight weaknesses in aquaplaning behavior, satisfactory predicted mileage, higher wear, and weight were noted. It secured the 6th position out of 18 in the ADAC test and an impressive 4th position among 50 tyres tested by Autobild, defying its low rating and showcasing its potential.

Pulling together all the information from these tests, Toyo Proxes Sport 2 prevails in the ratings with an excellent 72% against Yokohama Advan Sport V107's 42%. Although Toyo boasts a higher rating, the Yokohama managed to outperform in the mutual test positions, claiming superior ranks. The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 provides balanced handling and great dry performance but may disappoint with its higher price and limited mileage. However, the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 triumphs with its dynamic dry handling and lower fuel consumption but needs improvement in its aquaplaning behavior and wear.

As a brief overview, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses and their selection would largely depend on the driving and budget requirements of the user. However, taken as whole, the Toyo with its consistent robust performance and the Yokohama with its lower fuel consumption and high rank in mutual tests, can be considered exceptional options for a smooth summer ride.
