The Proxes Sport is Toyo's Ultra High Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, luxury vehicles and high-performance sedans who want a technology-focused tire that delivers superior dry and wet traction and handling. The Proxes Sport is designed to excel in warm dry and wet conditions, so like all Ultra High Performance Summer tires, it is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

A high-grip, silica tread compound is designed for greater flexibility and adhesion to the road surface and is molded into the Proxes Sport's asymmetric, four-groove pattern. The rounded rib design helps create more even pressure distribution under load for improved braking and handling, in addition to more even wear, and Toyo's Dynamic Taper Design reduces block edge deformation to provide better contact with the road and increase block stiffness. Wet traction is improved by the updated compound's increased contact with the road, and deep circumferential grooves combined with open shoulders help evacuate water from the footprint to resist hydroplaning.

Internal construction of the Proxes Sport features a rayon casing with two-ply sidewall construction for enhanced handling. Two wide, steel belts support the tread and are reinforced by a nylon cap ply for high-speed stability and improved durability.

Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Ultra High Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. Tires exhibiting cold compound cracking must be replaced.

Customers Say

Feedback patterns show the Bridgestone Potenza Sport delivers excellent dry traction (9-10 scores dominate) and strong wet performance, with many users highlighting confident handling in both conditions. Comfort receives positive marks for ride quality, though some note slightly elevated noise levels. Treadwear shows mixed results: while some report solid longevity for a max performance summer tire, others mention rapid wear or disappointing tread life, particularly with aggressive driving. Scores align well with its intended summer-focused use, emphasizing dry/wet grip over all-season versatility. High satisfaction stems from its precise steering and cornering stability, though tread durability concerns suggest prioritizing performance over extended mileage.

These tires were a great experience. The water traction was a highlight, as well as the aggressive dry traction. Transitions felt agile, responsive, and really got the most out of my Zs suspension. I would say the only caveats are that at the limit, its a little snappy in the dry, so if youre going to autocross or track it, you have to be quick to catch it. Its not as progressive as lets say, a Firehawk Indy 500, but it has far higher limits. It was a dependable daily driver summer tire, and I'd buy them again for sure.

...The uni-directional tread pattern shoot waters like a fire hose, letting you glide through puddles w/o hesitation, and float like baby ----- above water. Braking grip in the wet is terrifyingly stable- no aquaplaning, zero drama. I've lapped tracks in 40mm downpours & still felt like the road was paved with glue once they warmed up...

Bridgestone Potenza Sports ▸ Summer Time's Wet Dream. 💦🛞

Potenza Sports are absolute monsters on the track, especially in conditions where most tires fold. I guess if you live in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate in Italy literally named: Potenza, where they have dry summers & only wet winters— we'd probably come up w/ a tire that asks, "WTF is snow?", but if we asked, "Wet handling?" 🌊🤌🏼

These Tires Speak the Language of Rain. The uni-directional tread pattern shoot waters like a fire hose, letting you glide through puddles w/o hesitation, and float like baby ----- above water. Braking grip in the wet is terrifyingly stable—no aquaplaning, zero drama. I’ve lapped tracks in 40mm downpours & still felt like the road was paved with glue once they warmed up. Michelin PS4S can’t touch them in this category—Potenzas are at least a full rating class above in wet grip. The soaking wet reality, lb for lb— Potenzas > all Summer performance tires for wet conditions.

Dry Performance? They’re still sharp w/ excellent steering feedback & predictable limits. They bite so aggressively that you can feel the rubber burning at 50°C track temps, and they hold their composure longer than most. The dry grip isn’t elite (10/10) for summer tires, but for a tire that dominates like this in rain, it’s a fair trade.

Track Versatility & Heat Resistance? Check ✅ Tread life? Yeah, it’s not Michelin levels of durability that's for sure, but whether you’re track-daying on a broiling Saturday or hammering through sleet, these tires STAY CONSISTENT. They warm up quickly & never release grip under intense load—until the rubber’s smoked, anyway.

Bottom Line ▸ If you want track-ready wet mastery, these are it.Dry-focused drivers? Go for a dedicated summer tire. But If your heart races when it rains & you crave precision under pressure try 'em out, cause these are the only summer tires that’ll make you look back all those cloudy days & wonder— how you ever hated driving in the rain. 🚗🌧️

this Bridgestone PS tire is Excellent on Dry and is one of the best tire I used so far... sometime I drive aggressive on turns & cornering and this tire have no problem keeping up with no flexing on tire wall period...

this Bridgestone PS tire is Excellent on Dry and is one of the best tire I used so far, on Wet they are amazing as well, the tire Grip is awesome, sometime I drive aggressive on turns & cornering and this tire have no problem keeping up with no flexing on tire wall period, so far upgrade done to my car is KYB sport struts & shocks, Cusco F & R sway bar everything keep the car flat on during any turns, upgrade Dixcel type-M brake pad & high carbon cryo rotors F & R for better braking power if needed stop asap, just make sure nobody is behind that's all, the comb of WebsSport TC105X rim + Bps tire weight at 29lb, I believe current set up now can keep up with a Porsche on all turns on track, only thing weak now is oem springs and will upgrade to Bilstein B14 or Ohlins suspension in the near future, the tire noise is a bit louder then I would like on high way driving, as for tire wear is so far so good

I wasn't sure if these tires given the tread design would be as smooth or quite as the continentals I had on the vehicle, I was wrong... An excellent tire grip and comfort.....Performance isn't something the 2014 Ford Edge sport is known for but I would love to put these on my Model S to compare.

...Tread wear on the other hand was about half as expected. I measured my tires to be 2/32nd's after 8.6k miles. Yes, these are performance summer tires so tread wear is not the top of the priority list for me, however the pilot sports lasted me almost 3x as long...

Steering response in comparison to the pilot sport 4S was a lot more responsive. Tread wear on the other hand was about half as expected. I measured my tires to be 2/32nd’s after 8.6k miles. Yes, these are performance summer tires so tread wear is not the top of the priority list for me, however the pilot sports lasted me almost 3x as long. Tread wear aside, these are the subjectively the best handling tires in the segment. I run a shop and have a wide experience with all sorts of makes and these tires continuously impressed me with the steering response as well as lateral grip. To put it simply, if you are looking for a decent 300TW tire that will last but still have great performance, go with the Michelins. If you are looking for the best overall performance and the best steering response, there is no question that these tires are a great fit.

Side note: the sidewall on these Bridgestones look absolutely incredible, if that’s important to anyone like it is to me

Excellent for my daily, which gets one track day a year. My current set has been to Lime Rock and Sebring as well as a year of daily use, and the tread is still usable. Probably another 5k miles before they need replacing. Overall grip is excellent, I can't ask for much better. Wouldn't recommend using anywhere below 50 degrees F. They work well in light to medium rain and struggle with heavy downpours.
