Comparison: Uniroyal RainSport 5 vs. Toyo Proxes Comfort

2 mutual test(s) with detailed data

On this tyre tests review site, we compare two summer tyres: The Uniroyal RainSport 5 and the Toyo Proxes Comfort.


The Uniroyal RainSport 5 is a UHP (Ultra high performance) summer tyre.
On our scale, it scored a rating of 62%. From the test data, it's clear that the RainSport 5 has excellent aquaplaning performance. However, it's found to suffer from fairly significant weaknesses on dry roads, as well as issues with environmental sustainability, lifespan, and fuel consumption. With a 19th place finish out of 53 tyres in the Autobild test and 31st out of 50 in the ADAC test, the tyre's less-than-desirable dry performance seems to be a determining factor. So, if you're seeking a tyre with a balanced performance between wet and dry conditions, the RainSport 5 may not be your top pick, particularly if you prefer high sustainability and fuel efficiency.


In contrast, the Toyo Proxes Comfort, with a rating of 74% on our scale, outperforms the RainSport 5 in several respects. This summer touring tyre shows strengths in areas such as rolling resistance, dry handling, and dry braking. The Proxes Comfort secured a more commendable ranking of 14th out of 50 in the ADAC test and 17th out of 53 in the Autobild test. Despite certain critique points concerning the tyre's lifespan and limited safety reserves during curve aquaplaning, the Proxes Comfort does impress with its dynamic handling on both wet and dry roads, short braking distances, low tire noise, and a moderate price. For those wanting a longer-lasting tyre with a more consistent performance across various conditions, the Toyo Proxes Comfort does seem to outshine the RainSport 5.


Ultimately, your tyre choice should depend on your specific needs and priorities. For excellent wet performance, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 stands out, but for better all-around performance, consider going for the Toyo Proxes Comfort. Neither of the tyres has had a newer model replace them yet - we'll keep you updated.
