Comparison: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71


When it comes to comparing summer tyres, the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport and the Kumho Ecsta PS71 provide interesting comparative data. Both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, but one delivers a more comprehensive performance according to tests.


The Toyo Proxes T1 Sport, manufactured in Japan, is a summer tyre that we rated at 37%. In the Autobild and ADAC tyre tests, it placed 19th out of 53 tyres and 13th out of 16 tyres respectively. Its standout feature was its low exterior noise, which was noted in both tests. This implies that the T1 Sport tyre provides a quieter and more comfortable ride than many of its competitors. However, its lower overall rating and test positions suggest that it may struggle in other areas, such as handling or wet performance.


On the other hand, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 boasts a stronger rating of 77%. It held its own in the same tests, achieving 18th position out of 53 in Autobild, and 10th out of 16 in the ADAC test. The PS71 was commended for its aquaplaning performance, both cross and longitudinal, a feature that will prove useful in heavy rain conditions. This higher overall rating and superior test positions indicate that it provides a more balanced performance across various conditions.


Given this data, although the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport is noted for its quiet operation (Toyo manufacturer link), it seems the Kumho Ecsta PS71 (check Kumho manufacturer link) provides a more rounded performance in summer driving conditions, making it the favorable choice.


At this time, neither tyre has been replaced with a newer model. Check back for updates, as manufacturers often release new variations in line with evolving technology and feedback!
