Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Would these be suitable for a Mazda mx5 1.8 mark 3 and are the tyre walls soft. Many thanks.

The CF2s have reasonable sidewalls, though depending on how sporty you want your drive there might be better choices. Check out our <a href="http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyres_For/Mazda/MX5.htm">MX5 tyre review page</a> for other suggestions.

I'm looking to buy tires for my hybrid Honda Jazz (175/65/15 84H) and i'm considering buying these (Toyo Proxes CF2) or Falken ZE914. I don't know how to take in consideration all the ratings here (official tests & customers reviews) because most of the usage here is for sports cars and bigger tires that are not my case. I'm looking for a good tire for calm driving that would do well if i ever accidentally take a turn too fast on dry or wet road and has good fuel efficiency. Thanks ahead! p.s - please refer to the two tires i mentioned as they both cost the same and are available in my country in the size i need

Of the two tyres mentioned, we would likely pick the Falken, only because it is a slightly newer pattern. Our experience with each tyre is low though, so we're also only going by what reviews and tests are telling us.

Review Summary

Based on 95 user reviews

Across 95 reviews, the Toyo Proxes CF2 is widely praised as a quiet, comfortable touring tyre with strong value for money and very good longevity. Most drivers report confident dry grip and predictable handling, with many also happy with wet braking and stability for everyday road use. A smaller subset notes weaker wet cornering performance or aquaplaning in heavy rain, and some describe slightly numb/soft steering response compared with sportier or premium alternatives.

Strengths
  • Low road noise / quiet cruising
  • Good value for money
  • Strong tread life / slow wear rate
  • Comfortable ride quality
  • Good dry grip and predictable handling
  • Competent wet grip and braking for normal driving
  • Fuel efficiency / low rolling resistance
Areas for Improvement
  • Wet performance can be weaker for some drivers in heavy rain (aquaplaning/less confidence)
  • Steering feel can be a bit numb/soft (slower response/soft sidewalls)

Given 83% while driving a Honda Civic (195/60 R15) on a combination of roads for 56 average miles
I've tried Firestone, Goodyear and Toyo so far. And these one's the better one. Excellent dry and wet grip with a very impressive handling and feedback. But what amazed me more was the tyre wear. I've done 90k km on a lowered (with negative camber) car. And I still have some rubber left. Impressive. They gone up on price since I've bought them. No wonder... I bought 4 tyres for 240 euros. Now it's 400. Still, I'm definitely gonna buy them again!

Given 86% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X (215/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 35,000 average miles
Having them for about 50.000 kms , i had no complains from them. Very quiet tires , with good behavior no matter the weather , low wear and average fuel consumption. I changed them only due to mileage . There was 5 mm left on them despite the fact that mondeo is a heavy car. Unfortunately Toyo comfort were not available on the new size that i fitted so i got Hankook ventus prime 4.

Mine is CF2 SUV edition. For a 1.5 litre 1.2 ton light car, this comfort + touring oriented tyre helps in improving the comfort on the 'harsh' nature of the compact Honda Vezel / HRV (CUV).
Quiet and stable at high speed. Previous tyre was Michelin Primacy 4. Toyo slightly more comfort in same profile size.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 89% while driving a Nissan almera 1.5 (195/60 R15) on for 10,000 miles
Comparing to Michelin Energy Saver, these ones are not worse. The rubber quality is actually higher and wet handling potentially better. One thing for sure - they are quieter and I love that. Nice riding feel, planted, grippy enough and above all I feel they are safe. I have even provoked them in the snow (mixed with rain but even then) and had a really hard time losing control with them in the rear (hand brake and all).
Price has raised since I bought them back in 2021 (paid 65€ for each assembled), but they still are great tyres.

Initial Impressions Review
Given 75% while driving a Chevrolet camaro (215/60 R16) on for 1,500 miles
The tyres were already mounted on my 2002 Camaro. Only 4 years old they already start to show small cracks on the whole tyre.

99% I agree with the car magazine test regarding performance. Quiet, low rolling resistance. Wet performance disappointing.

Not a bad tyre but those cracks came quite early.

Will change them to all season tyres.

Given 93% while driving a Volkswagen MK4 Jetta 2.0 (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 28,000 spirited miles
The dry and wet grip are very good. The wear rate is very acceptable. They lasted for 5 years, 28 thousand miles. The shoulder wears faster and when this happens they loose performance noticiably. I have used HANKOOK SOLUS, YOKOHAMA SPORT ADVAN SPORT AS, this toyo have out performed this tires.

Given 91% while driving a Toyota Camry (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
I have used dunlop, maxxis and continental tyres on my Toyota Camry 2010 LE model. Now for 7000miles over past 5 months. Has a great grip on off-roads terrain and dry conditions. Handling in wet conditions not as great as maxxis and can be uncomfortable but does well at corners. A bit noisy on rough roads but premium quietness on smooth tarred roads. Has the best wear rate in all tyres I've used in the past. Could pass for new tyres even after 7000miles. Tyre resistance feels excessive when speeding on highway making it not suitable for fast cars. Braking is superb
Overall good tyre for off road, durability and braking

Stable at dry and wet conditions.
long wear (more than 50k kms.)
Good braking at moderate rain conditions.
Comfortable.
Not expensive.
A tire with not surprises but not recommended in aquaplaning and cold condition too. Drive with careful in this condition, remmember this is a summer tire.
Buy again?, yes!.

Given 93% while driving a Citroën AX GTI (185/60 R13) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
I have mounted a complete set of 4 new tires on a Citroen AX GTI 185/60/13 and on my Peugeot 106 1.4 XSI 175/60/14. They are good tires with a lot of grip and very quiet, no rolling noises. I use them for daily commuting and with a sporty driving style. The road feedback is good, you feel exactly what is happening and where the limit is when you turn hard into a bend. The only thing what is negativy about them is during a heavy rain shower, aquaplaning is coming up with the 175/60/14 on the Peugeot 106. The tires clearly have difficulty with this, but it is not dangerous. Every band has its pros and cons. But I can say with confidence that the price/quality ratio is at a high level. Would definitely buy them again.

put a pair on the front roughtly 18 months/12000 miles ago and about to have the rears changed to the same. compared to the other tyres we've had on our Fiesta (Pirelli, Kumho, Arrowspeed) these Toyo CF2s are by far the best. they are lighter on the steering and very positive when pushed through corners, comfortable and less noisy plus the wear rate looks good too. the only negative I found is that they need quite a long time to scrub-in and come up to full grip, roughly 1500-2000 miles.

I had toyo tries fitted in mat Totoyta Aqua (Prius C). I used them for 3 years. Excellent tires, really worth every penny. Brakes were good on dry and wet surfaces. the lower control arm bushing of my car got damaged but still the front tires did not wear a lot. Will definitely buy a new set. great tires.

Given 80% while driving a Skoda (195/55 R15) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
Really surprised by these tyres. I usually fit Goodyear or Michelin tyres 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 tyre 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!!!
