Performance Analysis

Toyo Proxes CF2 - Official Image

The Toyo Proxes CF2 delivers mid-pack to below-average performance across a decade of summer tests, with isolated solid results in 2014 but a clear decline in later years. Its best showings were early (4/16 and 5/11 in 2014), while more recent tests place it outside the top tier, including bottom-half finishes and poor wet/dry braking metrics in 2017. Overall, it behaves like a competent budget-to-mid range touring tyre lacking the consistency and safety margins of class leaders, particularly in braking-focused evaluations.
Consistency is a challenge: it rarely earns top-3 finishes and often sits mid-to-lower field, with notable weaknesses in dry and wet braking and only moderate wet handling. No major awards are evident; instead, filter tests and comparative group tests frequently position it outside the shortlist of recommended tyres.

The Toyo has acceptable braking on wet roads, but wet handling is clearly a big problem with the tyre posting a very slow laptime. Fortunately, the tyres behave predictably enough, without unpleasa...

These tyres do not like the rain. The Toyo has long braking distances and weak grip on wet surfaces, and they aquaplane easily. However, although the Toyo quickly loses grip, they do it quite pred...
