Across 96 reviews, the Toyo Proxes CF2 is generally described as a quiet, comfortable, great-value touring tyre with strong all-round road manners. Most drivers praise its predictable handling, strong dry grip, confident wet braking, and especially long tread life for the price. A smaller but recurring minority note weaker confidence in heavy rain/aquaplaning situations and a somewhat soft/numb steering feel (sometimes with a light "buzz" or noise on rough surfaces), particularly before the tyres fully scrub in.

These tyres 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).

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.

Had these put on my golf as i couldnt get Goodyears from my supplier,,I must say i'm going to be getting these again,they have performed realy well over Scottish Highland roads in all weather,,They do wear a little faster than the Goodyears but grip a lot better and are very quiet.

Terrific tyres, I have been using them for 2 years now, without any issues in any sort of environment... even though they are 2 years old now they don`t show anything like a performance drop anywhere. A "must have" tyre, for any car!

Having posted a review of these tires after 275 miles of use, I thought about coming back and describing their performance after 3,740 miles of more than average (aggressive) use.
I will be brief. They continue being fantastic in every single respect, and that slight buzz I mentioned in my previous review has gone away in a major degree, now the tires only buzz very little on very rough road surfaces. And the wear is minimal - still at 6mm after spirited driving for most of those 3,740 miles.
I am most impressed by these tires and they would be on my Alfa 146 again for sure.
I love these tires. Far better than the Continental Premium 2's and very very fuel efficient while offering grip and being cheaper than the so called 'premium' brands. Very happy with my choice and I recommend them!
Used to run Michelins which were good, they were replaced 19 months ago with a set of Toyo Proxes CF2 tires. They just excel in every respect, it would be impossible for me to rate them below 10/10 anywhere.
A must-have tire, my G.P. 1.3 Multijet is great fun -and comfortable- to drive in any environment. Very highly recommended.

Having swapped my 14" (185/60/14) set of wheels and tires for 16" (195/45/16) on my Alfa 146 (1.4 TS), I'd fitted these tires taking into account a suggestion from a friend that they were terrific.
After just 275 miles I couldn't agree with him more - the grip they offer is beyond belief - especially in the dry, not that wet grip is lacking, quite the opposite. As a rough estimation, my cornering speeds have increased by about 35-40%, no exaggeration.
They provide fantastic feedback, I am always completely aware of what the car is doing at any given moment, wet or dry.
As far as wear is concerned, well after 275 miles they still have these yellow lines on them, so I am sure these will wear excellently indeed.
Regarding comfort, well they are quite good, it's just that on some road surfaces they do produce a slight buzz, not anything annoying but audible by anyone nonetheless. On the motorways they are very quiet, and the same applies for smooth road surfaces in general - it's just that here in Greece the roads are mostly worn a bit, with some roads being truly terrible (the buzz there is almost annoying). So I've rated them "9" there, because it isn't really the tire's fault.
Another impressive fact is that my fuel consumption has remained the same as my former 14" Continental Eco Contact 5's (which were rated a class higher than the CF2 - "B" instead of "C" for the Toyos)
So far things are truly fantastic overall, the driving behavior of my Alfa 146 has improved dramatically with no losses anywhere, practically, so I would definitely go for them again.

Fantastic tyres. My Delta is joyful with them under practically every circumstance, and my driving style should have pointed out likely weaknesses but that hasn't happened in the 23 months I have been using the CF2 tyre. I will get a set of them again when these wear out, probably another 8,000 - 10,000 miles is feasible to be squeezed out of them.
Few day's ago mounted this tyre model and was already tested on wet road and i can tell it's very good and much better than previously C1S which was complete disaster.CF2 is for my opinion noiseless.
