The Toyo Proxes Sport is a performance summer tyre suited to cars, SUVs and CUVs. Its asymmetric tread design aims to deliver solid handling, cornering, braking and acceleration in wet and dry conditions. Toyo includes a 25,000-mile tread warranty. It's not suitable when temperatures consistently drop below 45°F, so it's not a year-round option for New Zealand's colder regions.

Performance tyre with asymmetric tread for cornering, braking
A good fit if you…
  • Drive a performance car, SUV or CUV and want confident dry handling
  • Do mostly fair-weather or summer driving
  • Want an asymmetric tread for sharper cornering and braking
Look elsewhere if you…
  • Drive in areas where temperatures regularly drop below 7°C — this is a summer-only tyre
  • Need a year-round tyre for alpine or frost-prone New Zealand regions

    Huge thanks to TK once again from Hyper Drive for always looking after me whenever I need wheels or tires. He’s helped me out a lot with my Evo, and now with the Eclipse as well. He always provides great customer service, is easy to communicate with, and makes the whole process simple and stress-free. I really appreciate how he always sorts me out and takes the time to help properly. Definitely a 10/10 experience every time — highly recommend!

    Had Jay come out and fit and balance a new set of tyres for me. Top bloke, turned up on time, got straight into it, and had everything sorted in no time. Did a great job and the wheels feel spot on. Really easy process from start to finish. Would definitely recommend Hyper Drive, and Jay especially. Cheers Team!

    Awesome experience with Hyper Drive Mobile this morning. Steve was super friendly and easy to deal with, and made the whole thing really straightforward. He turned up earlier than expected and had the one new tyre fitted in under 30 minutes. Was also stoked to see he’d polished the tyres and topped up the air in all the others too. I didn’t even realise that was part of the service. Such a nice extra touch. Really good customer service and just an all-round great experience. Thank you!

    I used the chatbot as was so confused what battery I needed. Was so helpful and found the right one. Great service, shipping to my work address, which is an added bonus. Great price for the battery, didn’t know I needed a new one till mechanic flattened my battery.
