Toyo Proxes CF2 Reviews - Page 7

Given 99% while driving a Alfa Romeo 146 1.4 Twin Spark (195/45 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 11,041 spirited miles
Mid-life (mainly in terms of age, I've had them for >2.5 years now) review, after 11,041 miles on the car.

Dry grip: Was always -easily- 10/10, no complaints whatsoever, and it's still the same.
Wet Grip: Also pretty excellent, nothing short of expectations - in fact even better than that, genuinely great.
Road feedback: Amazing. I always know what the tires are doing at any given moment when close to / at the limit.
Handling: Quite progressive, when the grip -eventually!- runs out. Sharp, instant handling too - which does match the Alfa's sporty nature. I really have to push hard to reach the limit in the first place.
Wear: Minimal. Still over 5mm on both axles (I rotate them every 7,500 km / 4,650 miles AND check my alignment once a year).
Comfort: Perhaps the only area where the CF2 doesn't get 10/10 - for me. At times, on less than perfect road surfaces there's still a slight "buzz" from the tires, albeit at motorway speeds they are very quiet, it has to be said. Still, it isn't bad at all overall.
Buy again: DEFINITELY. Unless Toyo gives us the CF3 before I change my CF2s - but they will have a heck of a lot to live up to, to be even as good as the CF2s. And one final extra point, they are quite efficient, no drop in MPG so far, at least, they roll quite well indeed.

Quite happy with my choice, great tire, on the whole recommended. If they keep performing like new (which they do), I may even keep them for 5 years instead of my personal limit of 4 years.

Given 90% while driving a Volkswagen Golf (195/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Excellent all round tire. Some places have stopped stocking this tire. Very low road noise and excellent comfort. Driving around this summer with the sunroof open in my old golf and there was zero road noise. Perfect!

Used on a mk2 golf G60. Grip is great for a light car. Can't comment on others but one of my favorite tires no doubt.

£200 a set of 4 195.50.15's delivered. Bargain.

Given 93% while driving a Volkswagen Golf (205/60 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
Was Searching for good tires for my VW Golf.
2 days were wasted on reading reviews and tests.
Bought them today and tested finally by my self :)
Highway: They are just fantastic! Were driving 100-180 km/h, felt like flying on airplane! Quiet, comfortable, fantastic feeling and joy!
City: Very Comfortable, nice, enjoyed every second of driving, great on turns, breaks, and acceleration!
If you are lookong for sport and aggressive driving you will enjoy them, they are nice but not as good as continental conti premium or such.(!! aggressive driving!! )
So if you are not looking for especially sport tires and you are not crazy about racetrack would recommend them for sure you will enjoy them 100%!
(Compared to contipremiumcontact 195/65 R15
It was first day driving with toyos(new set)so they will get better after 300-400km)
Thanks!:)

Given 79% while driving a Renault 12 (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Pretty nice handling, good braking in all conditions, a little lack of steering and a "bit of gap" between steering in diferent directions. You can go in full madness corners and they dont disapoint.
Compared to bridgestone potenza, they are good, notícias the best tires , but they are worth the money. 300€ for a full set.

Given 87% while driving a Honda Integra GSi DC4 (205/50 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
After having garbage tires on my car when i bought it i realised the importance of quality tires on a daily driven car, these Toyo's are honestly perfect for my driving style and so far have never had a dicey moment with them even with me having a slightly spirited driving style. in the wet i get no understeer and in the dry they just hold up with ease. cant say much about wear as theyve only been on the car for less than two months but my rears still have the coloured markings visible so probably not expecting a rotation for quite a while. well worth the price in my opinion, very good value and im very happy with my purchase.

Honda Jazz (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 0 average miles
Put these on the front of a Honda Jazz instead of the Honda recommended Dunlop SP Sport. I first noticed an improvement and reduction in road noise over the Dunlops. Dry grip is good but cannot comment on wet grip as I haven't encountered sufficient rain. Only had them on 2 weeks, but I would say Iam very happy with them and would probably fit them again.

Given 100% while driving a Alfa Romeo (195/60 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 8 average miles
Fitted those a year ago, standard size for the Alfa 147 1.6 TS, they are amazing and excellent price / quality ratio, paid 300 Euros for a full set.

No shortcomings noticed yet, braking, grip (wet & dry), feedback, comfort, these are the ones to go for.

Given 81% while driving a Renault Megane (185/60 R15) on mostly town for 12,500 average miles
Pretty satisfied with these tires. They are going into their 3rd season now and are clearly way more silent than the winter set. Comfortable on the road and with good enough grip and lateral stability to make you feel safe, even in wet conditions and higher speeds. Braking response is also very acceptable.

Given 77% while driving a Renault Clio 1.5 dCi 86 (185/55 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Very good tire. Very good grip in the dry and in the wet. Can't tell very much about wear because of the low mileage but untill now I#m very happy with them.

Given 81% while driving a Honda crx vtec 91 (195/60 R14) on mostly town for 500 average miles
Very good tires for their price.I couldn't find other tires for my ee8 crx vtec with these oem dimensions so i didn't have other options.But they handle very good and i'm very pleased with my purchase.

Given 87% while driving a Fiat 500 (185/55 R15 H) on mostly town for 10,000 spirited miles
These tires are amazing in the wet and are very fuel efficient. Progressiveness is great as well, but do not have maximum grip in the dry, a bit 'slippery' for my liking. This is due to the harder compound than sports tires, but as a result they last longer. In my opinion, the perfect 'touring tire'. Will buy again if the price is right vs. the competition (was a little on the expensive side).

Given 100% while driving a Alfa Romeo (225/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 1,300 spirited miles
After 2 sets of Bridgestone's on my Alfa Romeo GT I'd fitted these in 225/45/17 dimension, since I found them at an attractive price and based on the reviews here.

Very early still for a detailed review but after 1,300 miles I have noticed my GT has become very progressive before the limit, which she wasn't with the old Bridge's, that seemingly is a great asset of these tires.
