Toyo Proxes CF2 Reviews - Page 2

Really surprised by these tires. I usually fit Goodyear or Michelin tires but these came in at half the price right when money was tight for a full set so gave them a try. 9/10ths of the dry and wet grip of the big boys, just as quiet but slightly more crashy on rough surfaces. But the big bonus is that they're seemingly not wearing out! I usually get through a set of fronts at 20-25k, these are only half worn. The rears still look new. I've also had to submit them to one or two emergency stops (suicidal sheep here in rural Wales!) and they always pull up straight and are very good at not triggering the ABS. Thought they would be a stop-gap tire but I'll happily buy them again if the prices are still good.

my third pair already (also for my second corolla e11 which is very similar but mainly drive ae101). i had hankook kinergy tires before because they where advertised as quiet.. which they werent. handling and cornering was very bad. on this site proxes cf2 was recommended for my car so i gave it a try. it was like im driving a whole different car. the cornering and grip is just amazing. noise is also really not bad at all. the car finally behaves predictable and im having more fun. automatically i am driving harder through corners because it feels normal! i will buy this tire for life. on the tire it said 'made in japan' and i pay about €50 per tire. good quality and good price i reccomend!!!

It works well. 9k kms at bad roads with 195/45 and I don't have any problem.

These tires are very good for road use, if someone likes to drive faster in corners these tires are just perfect for that, the grip is good, but not phenomenal, they give quite good feedback, so you know how far you can go, even if you lose traction it is very easy to regain it. These tires are very comfortable, they are quiet and take all of the potholes well. Moreover, the resistance/friction of these tires is very low, so it has a positive outcome when it comes to the fuel economy. So those would be the advantages, now onto the disadvantages. The tires are not really good for rainy conditions, especially if they went through one or two heat cycles then they are very bad in rain. You can feel that when you qo through a corner faster in the rain the tires are desperately looking for grip, so you have to be careful. If there is a standing water on the road they take it pretty well, but when there is a heavy rainfall you cannot entirely feel where the tires are, which is a little bit scatchy. I also used these tires on the track days. I went for two track days and in total I did around 180 kilometers on the track with those tires. Before I went on the first track day there was around 3 mm of rubber to the minimal wear point, after one track day these tires were almost done, there was not much left on them, especially in critical points. Then I went on the second track day and the front tires were completely shattered after 2 rounds, huge chunks of rubber were flying away from them and there was no grip at all, the braking was also very bad, but in all honesty those are road tires so I think they handled it pretty well. In summary, I recommend these tires for someone who likes to drive faster in corners on the road, but if you think about track days its better to buy tires dedicated for that, becasue Toyos will die soon, its also worth mentioning that my car is pretty light as it weights around 1350kg, I think that these tires will definitely not work as well on much heavier cars.

Reading the reviews for this tire, I expected a solid and balanced tire: I got a bad tire, bad on dry (slips at a faster start), bad on rain (does not instill even a minimum of confidence), poor sense of steering, cloud feeling, my winter tire uniroyal gives a better feeling): A rarity for a tire that is bad in all three of these segments.Absolutely too expensive a tire to get. The ratings on this site are not clear to me.

I have made 30k miles and still the tires are going!Man Toyo has done it again a well rounded tire at an amazing price!

I live in Greece and i drive at tough roads. That's a very good tire. I'm very impressed you with that. It's comfort, quiet and smooth. For the average drivers is the perfect tire. I had never any problem with that. Also it's a Japan made tire. I will buy it again

After 15000 kilometers both front wear nearly out on the outside, both sides each tires. Order now 2 Michelin ps3 hoping the are better.

I bought as a pair for the rear, these toyo proxes CF2 since where mid range priced tires. I'm always afraid of driving my mr2 in the rain, but these toyo, definatly changed my mind. In the wet they excel very good. In the dry can't complain, feels good, grips good, can abuse a bit in the corners. Wear can't say much, since I've driven them for around 2 to 3k miles with them fitted.

Great quality for price

just had car MOT'd today - it was wearing four Proxes CF2s which I previously thought were good tires. However the car failed on two of the tires 'due to separation or failure of its structure' on two of them and an advisory on the others for perishing / cracking. Tires were 2 years old, about half worn at around 20k miles. Fairly sedate usage Not going near Toyo again.

Fitted the tires 10 days ago and drove some 3500 km with them across Europe - country roads, motorways, Autobahn and city driving. Dry grip is really good, especially at higher speeds. Wet grip is excellent. Drove on the autobahn in the heaviest rain you can imagine - no problems at all even at 130kmp/h +. The tire dissipated the water excellently.
