Toyo Proxes Comfort

Replaces the Proxes CF2

The Toyo Proxes Comfort is a premium-touring summer tyre that feels particularly assured on dry roads, combining stable, predictable handling with a notably quiet, comfortable ride. Real-world drivers also report strong day-to-day wet grip and very good value for money, often comparing it favourably with more expensive premium options. Independent testing broadly agrees on its dry-road competence and refinement, but highlights that wet braking and aquaplaning performance can be inconsistent versus class leaders. Overall, it's a smart mid-range choice for calm, confident commuting and motorway miles rather than hard-charging driving in heavy rain.

2025 Auto Bild Summer Performance Tyre Test P8 of 20

The Toyo Proxes Comfort offered solid aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances, and good value at €304 per set. It performed respectably in wet conditions despite slightly limited lateral grip on wet surfaces. With a decent mileage of over 38,000 kilometers and good rolling resistance, it achieved excellent cost performance at just €7.98 per 1000 kilometers. The tyre was also one of the quieter options in the test, living up to its "Comfort" name. Its good all-round performance without any major weaknesses earned it a "good" rating.

Initial Impressions

This is my first set of Toyo Proxes, they have really impressed me so far i'm around 5000+ miles with them on the rear of my BMW 3 series. I have cheap Chinese Mazzini tyres on the front that came with then car (Don't buy them!) they are awful, but highlight the difference between cheap budget tyres and good mid range. The front end feels honestly bad while the Toyos on the rear feel super planted, it's a genuine noticeable difference. The Toyos are so good in wet and dry they always feel stable and have loads of grip. I ran them trough winter with no issues never lost traction. I drive lots of twisty B roads they are actually pretty fun to drive on given the comfort bias which is also really good. They soak up bumps and potholes really well and are very quiet. Im really blown away by how good they are i've always fitted premium brands (Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear) but the Toyos are actually my favourite so far. I Guess tread life might be the only differentiator but so far after 5000 miles they look as good as the day they were put on.

After 10k miles these tyres are still going strong.
I live in the north west UK and these tyres are excellent, I personally find these tyres are as good as most premium tyres especially in the wet and dry.
These tyres still after 10k miles handle exceptionally good in the wet and really do grip the road well in all areas.
The tread-wear (320 A A) is pretty decent on my FWD honda civic and doesn't lose grip after a 1/4 of tread-wear like some cheap Chinese made rubbish on the market.

Overall these tyres are a 10/10 for the value and quality.

Replacement for Continentals - bought because of positive reviews and handling on British roads which tend to be wet or greasy majority of the year Also very good price vs performance. Too early to tell what they’re like in the dry really, but Cricky they are spot on in the dry, goes around roundabouts in the wet like it’s on rails, found myself over steering at first as not use to the grip compared to my last set of tyres in the wet.

I bought a set of these so called comfort tyres to replace my goodyear efficiency grip tyres. I went for Toyo comfort, as the clue was in the name 'comfort', but they're not at all comfortable to drive on the road, feel every bump on the road, as you drive along. The Goodyears were far more comfortable.

I recently purchased four of these tyres initially due to cost and a fairly decent brand name.
I have a well equipped workshop with my own tyres changer and balancing machine.
I was very impressed by the tyres having fitted thousands throughout my life .
All four tyres required no more than either a single 15 gram weight or two 10 gram weights which is outstanding.
I immediately felt a better ride over the original tyres. Top marks

I bought a set of Toyo Proxes Comfort to replace my very old, but still with quite a good tread on them Michelin Energy Saver.
Michelins were pretty good on wet and still fine on dry roads, had issues only when too hot and mainly when in roundabouts at high speed.
I am badly surprised by the new set of tyres as these were tested as class A on wet, but their performance is absolutely horrible on wet roads.
Braking distance quite longer than with my 15 years old Michelin, skidding when cornering at speed, no grip when accelerating from still. Dry grip a bit better, but still car loses grip at cornering at higher speed. No idea about aquaplaning and wear, but current performance suggests this will be also an issue. Will surely not buy again, I have never put tyres as bad as these, so far driven Fulda, Kumho, Nokian, Michelin.

Very good for motorway driving and just gently around town, however they have limited feedback as soon as you push them, and ultimately produce a slight bit of understeer what feels like very early during a turn in both the wet and dry. For the price they're good enough, but I won't be buying these again.
