Toyo Proxes CF2 - reliability, economy, comfort

The Toyo Proxes CF2 summer tire was created as a replacement for the first version of this rubber, which received recognition from motorists. You can get a high-quality product only by finding the optimal balance of characteristics between the elasticity and strength of the tire structure, as well as a high coefficient of adhesion to any road surface with low rolling resistance.

The company's developments in the field of research of new materials helped to obtain a unique high-quality product. For this purpose, not only updated, but also developments that had already brought success to the company were used:

was created for tire production special rubber mixture with additives from “superactive” polymers. They strengthen the compound, reduce its wear during high-speed driving and reduce rolling resistance; New tread pattern provides excellent grip with any type of road surface, stable control and shortened braking distance;
to improve grip on wet roads, they were applied to the tread four wide grooves, through which the water film covering the road is pumped. This allows you to avoid the effect of aquaplaning even at high speeds;
stiffening ribs of the central part treads provide a high level of directional stability during high-speed driving, powerful shoulder areas with special notches on the tread blocks ensure vehicle stability when maneuvering and driving on wet roads. These blocks provide additional traction and reduced braking distance;
when developing the shoulder parts of the tread all blocks were connected by a special rib, which can significantly reduce noise when driving at high speed for greater comfort.

Tests show that the Toyo Proxes CF2 has received a 15% increase in wet grip compared to the previous version of the tire. Rolling resistance, due to the use of new polymer additives, has become lower by as much as 25%. This allows you to significantly save fuel and increase tire mileage. Tests have shown that the wear resistance of the tire, compared to the previous version, has increased by more than 40%.

I was looking for good comfortable tires that would smooth out the roughness of our roads and remain without hernias.
First impressions (drove 2500 km) are positive - the tires are really comfortable, you feel confident on the road. The only criticism is that they float a little when turning - this is a consequence of the high profile. It will be better with a low-profile holder, but for me the main thing is comfort!

Vladimir

Installed on GAZ-2410, Toyota 1uz-fe engine (4.0, 280hp)

The conditions for selection are smooth running, good grip on dry asphalt, satisfactory performance on wet asphalt, reasonable price. Quite consistent. They balanced quite well, loads up to 40 grams, no vibrations up to 140 mph, I didn’t check further because... no need.

The previous Yokohama C-Drive tires, in principle, were suitable in all respects, but the grip was slightly worse, wear resistance was poor, and the price was higher.

Yuri

I only drive Japanese cars, so I only use Japanese tires. I tested the Toyo Proxes CF2 tires on different surfaces, and they really pleased me. This spring I went hunting, and it seemed to be dry. I drove 100 km, the sky became cloudy and it began to snow. In slushy snow, on summer tires, I’ll tell you, it’s a dubious pleasure, but the wheels worked fine. Next there was a forest road, well, like a forest road - along it they transport timber. The tires traversed areas with sand, water and clay without serious problems.

Paul

I bought it in March 2013 on the advice of a friend (I needed a budget option at that time) and suddenly realized that these tires were excellent in their price category.

The only negative is the noise. But this is nonsense compared to other qualities. I'll most likely take it again!

Oleg

I bought it on the basis of price and quality, plus (made Japanese)) The quality turned out to be many times better, They are noisy only on puffy asphalt, but like everything else, very soft (compared to Yakohama) potholes are absorbed perfectly. Decent tires for the city, and especially for not a lot of money. So far I’m happy, we’ll see..

Eugene

Very soft rubber. In 2 seasons I traveled to zero. After the second season, the tread height on the front tires is barely noticeable, on the rear tires it is bald as a knee)) It is possible that I mostly drove on the highway at a speed of 150-170 km/h.

Vyacheslav

I spent a long time leafing through the forums, but settled on Japanese-made tires, Toyo Proxes CF2, and was guided by reviews when choosing. What was attractive was that the tires were actually made in Japan, although I saw such reviews that Japan is only from 16 radius, nothing like that! I've driven 5,000 km on them and I can already draw conclusions: the tires are very soft, not noisy, they hold up perfectly, and I haven't found any disadvantages yet. Great tires for the price! I recommend it!

Igor

Before my first purchase in 2015, I read a lot of reviews and reviews, including on foreign sites. Everywhere this tire consistently took a place in the top five with a slight lag behind the leaders and was positioned at the level of Michelin and Continental, and at a cheaper price. By the way, I had a Continental in my Priora. Good tires, of course, but they have become too expensive now. So, I didn’t notice much difference between Conti and Toyo. I was also captivated by the fact that Toyo is only made in Japan.

Michael

The tires are excellent. I had to experience “summer” in the off-season on the track. At 0 degrees and light snow on the roads, the behavior is reliable even at 90-100 km/h; further acceleration in such conditions is simply scary. Of course, at 0-5 Celsius they become slightly tanned as expected, but despite this they are quite predictable. In the operating range of natural temperatures, the behavior is excellent, it drives through puddles almost better than in dry conditions, it holds the road, there is only one drawback - it is noisy even when compared with much cheaper ones.

Alexander

Hi all.
Two seasons without problems, comfortable driving. Quiet, soft, holds the road well. In heavy rain, the rear skids a little when turning sharply. I went fishing, drove a long way from the asphalt, there was a downpour, I thought I wouldn’t get out, but no, everything is fine, it drives like all summer tires. I thought about taking it again, but new and not expensive Nitto tires came out, they’re Toyo’s daughter, we’ll try it.

Alexander

Tires are just Fire!!! For 2770 + shm, absolutely a fairy tale. Silent puddle killers stuck into the asphalt!!! Despite all the elasticity of the ride, they are very durable, including the sidewall. For quiet operation at speeds no higher than 120 km/h. they are ideal, there is simply no alternative to them. "Headless Horsemen" pass by in unison, your price tag is one and a half to two times higher.

S"mit

Excellent tires minus one noise.

Dmitriy

Very comfortable tires! Price-quality ratio 5+

Stepan

The tires are excellent: soft, grippy, handle small bumps and holes well, are fast, have confident grip on the road when cornering and when braking. Comfortable and stable ride. I bought a set of summer tires in May 2018 at a reasonable price. Mileage today is 7800 km. No wear has been noticed yet. I would like to buy winter ones too.

Mazhulin Alexander

Comfortable, low noise.

Vadim

After the first five thousand drives, a cut appeared on the left rear wheel on the outer lower side of the tread; this has never happened on the summer Bridgestone; this is a minus. Next time, most likely because of this, the choice will be in favor of another brand of tires from this brand.

Igor

The tires were from the factory. Yes, they are noisy on asphalt. But they are wear-resistant. After 5 seasons there is 5mm of tread left. I think it's an excellent tire. No worse than conti and meshlen. And in terms of price/quality it is definitely the best.

Dmitriy

Excellent tires, for the money they perform 5+

the very best after German, Korean and Chinese tires!

Vladislav

For the summer season 2019 I took a new set of tires. Before this, there were Bridgestone Turanza tires, which were equipped with the car from the factory (they lasted 7 seasons). Bridgestone is an excessively hard and noisy tire (when switching from studs to summer, the noise remained the same).
It took me a long time to choose tires. because I didn’t want to waste money on tires that would wear out within a season.
Toyo impressed with tenacity and noise comfort! So where the “bridge” broke into a squeal Toyo holds the road. There is almost no noise in the cabin (considering that Renault is a very noisy car).
Thanks to the guys from the Vladimir branch of Shinservice. They calmly explained, showed, and told everything. How a bonus was given free tire fitting (a small thing, but a nice one))

Alexei

I'll buy more

Alexander

Not bad tires for average driving with the ability to drive on good surfaces at high speeds. It doesn’t drive on water at all, it removes water from the contact patch disgustingly and the grip on wet roads leaves much to be desired. Soft, comfortable, and can withstand even very bad roads. It wears off VERY quickly!!! This is the first tire when I doubt that I will be able to ride on it for the second (!) season!

Vladimir

They are on the Accent with VSMPO wheels, the tires are soft, quiet, hold the road well, Japan! I also went to Michelin, I want to say. that now I will buy tires exclusively from either Michelin or Toyo!

Alexander

The car is a Toyota Avensis. The tires were praised by the salesperson in the store. I paid and got free tire fitting. Everything seems to be normal. But as soon as I drove out into the street, it started chattering and making noise... I went to the service center and did a wheel alignment. Around the city even more or less. No speed. As soon as I got on the road, I realized that I was in trouble. The tires are so noisy that after an hour I had a headache. He's scared in a rut, he's chattering. Rain is coming. And then I realized that the tires did not drain water at all. He lifts the car and starts chattering. Where is my dear Michelin? Fool, it would be better to overpay a little. Don't trust sellers. He claimed that the tire was excellent: it didn’t make noise and was generally super! Just to sell it. And there is also the feeling that these tires are heavier than Michelin. The car accelerates with difficulty, but then maintains speed. In general, do not buy these tires! They make more noise than my studded Gislaved!!!

Alexander

I am satisfied with the tires, the service is of high quality, I liked everything, the prices are not expensive, I will recommend them to friends and I will come myself, I bought them and exchanged them for Fuchik

Basil

Good tires. Anyone who writes that it doesn’t hold up in the rain is a complete lie. In heavy rain on a track with ruts at a speed of ~100 km/h, it holds amazingly, no hydroplaning when shifting. A bit noisy within normal limits. During the season I traveled ~25,000 km - wear was ~2 mm. With use like mine: highway-city speed ~110-120 km/h, sometimes on poor quality primers, this tire will last for at least 4 seasons. There were emergency situations on the road, the tires always held up everywhere without problems. Now in the winter I’m driving a Nordman 7 in its second season, the tires are good; but this is already in a different category. I hope this review is useful to someone!

Manufacturers of Toyo automobile tires continue to delight their consumers with new, more improved versions of tires. The toyo proxes cf 2 model has exceeded all motorists' expectations.

Are these tires better than their big brother t1r and why? Anyone can begin to understand this issue now.

Review of Japanese tires or toyo proxes cf2, as proof that quality may not be expensive

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

European-style tires from Japanese manufacturers are very popular among owners of high-speed and luxury cars. Toyo tires have a large number of positive characteristics, including affordability in terms of pricing. There are many models in each line and the consumer has the opportunity to choose the required standard size. In 2013, the company pleased its customers with a useful and functional update - toyo proxes cf2, a review of which everyone can now view.

Why is toyo proxes cf2 better than the old version – t1r

The popularity of Japanese tires is due to the fact that only the most modern technologies are used in their manufacturing process. In this regard, the Toyo Proxes CF2 tires are not lagging behind. Unlike its younger brother - t1r rubber has the following set of improved qualities:

Such indicators give the right to call the toyo proxes cf2 the best option when compared with models from the t1r series.

High-quality toyo proxes cf2 tires – pros and cons of using such tires

We have already discussed above why toyo proxes cf2 is better than t1r and users completely agree with these statements. Now it’s worth talking about the quality parameters of the rubber itself. The best option for a fan of fast driving on the roads would be a model that has a tire width of 195 millimeters and a height from the rim to the outer edge of the wheel of 55. In this series, car tires can please every user with the following positive aspects:

1. The tires contain polymer and silicon compounds - improving ride quality and reducing fuel consumption.
2. Resistance to the rolling process is at a very low level.
3. All-new, specially designed appearance for improved ride quality.
4. Tires have become more wear-resistant, their quality does not deteriorate throughout the entire operational period.
5. Thoughtful tread pattern down to the smallest detail.
6. Improved technology that helps drain water very quickly.
7. The load distribution on the tires during the removal of water and dirt is absolutely the same.
8. Road grip performance has reached a very high level.

For Toyo Proxes CF2 car tires, there are no problems on the roads that they cannot cope with. Considering that this is a European-level tire, we can say that it copes well with minor road faults.

Tires that have indicators of 195 and 55 in their indexation. If a consumer encounters such indicators when considering the marking of car tires, he can have full confidence that everything will be fine on the road. With a height of 55 units and a width of 195, the most comfortable and high-quality work is achieved, and driving becomes a pleasant experience. The range of toyo proxes cf2 tires is quite large and everyone can choose the right option for themselves.

What fans of the Japanese brand say about the new Toyo Proxes CF2 tires

On automobile forums, many visitors leave their reviews and quality car tires from the Japanese brand TOYO. Judging by the positive attitude of site visitors, this model is distinguished by its high quality and durability. People say that the Toyo Proxes CF2 tires are very quiet, behave perfectly on the roads, and the price is generally excellent.

There are visitors who would like better performance to help cope with mud on the roads. But it’s worth considering that these tires are designed for European consumers, which means they were developed for roads with good quality. Users write that the rubber copes well with speed conditions and does not lose its quality properties for a long time, and these are very important indicators for every driver.

Some more interesting indicators that indicate the quality of toyo proxes cf2 tires

A review of car tires begins with information about their manufacturer and ends with their positive qualities being considered from the point of view of consumers. Toyo proxes cf2 tires are in high demand, with widths up to 195 and heights from 55 units. For better tire performance, the manufacturer added three more wide, longitudinal cuts, which is very good if rubber is used on wet roads. The tires have massive treads.

The company distributes its products to more than one hundred countries around the world and enjoys well-deserved success. The toyo proxes cf2 tire range exceeded all consumer expectations in terms of quality, but models with tire width 195 and height 55 showed simply ideal results during numerous tests.

Oleg about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire

Good day everyone!
I bought these tires completely by accident. I was just looking for 185 width by size 13, I bought it at the Almaz market in Rostov-on-Don.
I searched the entire market and found only these tires with this width.
I fell for the Japanese production and the price.
And as it turned out, I was right.
I bought it, immediately changed my shoes, and went to work.
I really wanted to test the grip and braking, but I didn’t experiment on the highway. You never know...
I got to work and decided to check the tires on the road that was still under construction.
I check for a grip, and I don’t understand what’s wrong with the car...
It will drop in speed when starting abruptly.
I try again, give more revolutions...
Start without axle box, and then I understand that the clutch fails, but not the tires.
It could be attributed to a worn clutch. But it wrinkled in the fall, and I couldn’t shake it off over the winter.
That's how the tires are...
Then I checked the braking, and it was excellent on both dry and wet roads.
Hydroplaning at 80 km/h into a puddle with the bottom side was also surprising. It slows down, of course, but doesn’t throw it to the side.
But with the onset of cold weather, the condition began to worsen. At +3, when braking to the floor, it began skidding earlier than usual.
And there was a case that I got into the same car but with KUMHO tires.
It's just a scribe...
It slips when starting up to third gear.
How do people drive it...?
Toya was pleasantly surprised.
The price/quality ratio is excellent.

Maxim about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire

Tire size 205/60 R16

The first thing that immediately struck me after changing shoes was the softness and quietness of the ride. I don’t make any creaky turns, it’s good in corners, it’s good on braking, it’s good on wet roads (up to 90-100, I don’t go higher on wet roads). No complaints so far, I really liked the tire.

For snow and ice, the rating is formal, otherwise you won’t be able to leave a review))

Yuri about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire

I've been driving a GAZ 3110 since 1997. Engine 4062F - 150 l/s. the last tires were NOKIAN Hakka i3. Good tires, drove 70,000 km. wear indicator 4-5.

were on disk. I installed it in the spring and the car started to crack. On 3 out of 4 the cord began to bend with visual wear of 50%. I had to buy new Toyos. I decided to try a non-standard size 205/60-15 instead of 195/65-15.

As a result: it holds the road perfectly - it drives like it’s on rails, and wherever you steer, it goes there.

No aquaplaning, it rides well on wet grass.

It's impossible to skid on asphalt. When braking on the Volga, “ABC” appeared - that is, when braking, the wheels do not skid! At the beginning it’s an unusual feeling, but I like it.

Disadvantage - (but this is purely my fault) due to the non-standard size, fuel consumption slightly increased.

In winter I ride DUNLOP 205/65-15 studs, EXCELLENT IN EVERY REGARD! I pass where the VAZ 2109 stops!

This is not the first set of these wonderful tires! I can say that with these tires you forget about the problems of traction in any road conditions, at any speeds (up to 160 for sure), in any turns! And without overpaying for advertising! In addition, made in Japan, the tires last until the end, to the point of baldness!!! So only Toyo for yourself and friends!!!

Andrey about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire

This set was purchased a little over a year ago, the second season has passed. I’ll say right away that at the time of purchase I reviewed a bunch of tests and almost everywhere came in third or fifth place. We are behind the leaders by a fraction of a second, there are no outright failures at a very competitive price. In fact, I am more than satisfied with the tires, the car handles very well on asphalt, no problems were noticed in the rain, and there is a winter kit for snow. It can also be noted that it is quiet and soft. At this price, this is one of the best kits.

Andrey about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire an honest review

Decent Japanese tires, excellent price-quality. There is simply no point in buying more expensive. Tires for the city, on asphalt the car behaves just fine, the grooves save you from hydroplaning. I didn’t drive in winter, the tires are summer

Evgeniy about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire honest review

Impressions from the first season are extremely positive. In comparison with the previous Energy XM2 of a well-known brand (lasted for 4 seasons, produced in England), I did not feel any difference, with the exception of noiselessness, much quieter than the recognized industry leader. Asphalt, primer are dry and with puddles, behavior is predictable, there are no complaints, after the first season (from mid-April to almost the end of October) wear is 1-1.5 mm (mileage about 10,000 km). I did not reduce the scores for handling on snow and ice so as not to spoil the average, but it is clear that snow and ice are not for them. Appeal to the site organizers: it is not correct to raise the question of handling on snow and ice in relation to summer tires, my review does not spoil the overall rating for them, but many give one for ice and snow and the overall rating of the model falls and becomes not objective.

Ivan about the Toyo Proxes CF2 tire honest review

I’ll immediately point out the advantages that I liked:

1. Very good roll.

2. Quiet, but I thought it would be even quieter)

Despite the fact that our car is not praised for its handling (I felt this), I cannot get enough of the handling with these tires.

4. It absorbs small bumps very well, and it goes through larger ones much more smoothly.

5. Braking. This is where I felt it on the first day.

That means I changed my shoes. And the next day I went on a long journey. In fact, I haven’t broken in the tires yet, but I think I’ll just go back there and break them in. I drove about 400 km, two trucks were ahead, the focus was behind them, and I was following. Hill, I let them go a little, because I see a rise ahead and overtaking will be allowed. The car is full i.e. 4 people + full trunk. At the end of the hill I start to accelerate, because I see that the focus is also going to overtake these two trucks. Slippers on the floor, turn signal, I change lanes to overtake and then the focus hits the brakes, because you see, he thought that he wouldn’t have time to overtake before the overtaking prohibited sign. The result is fear and nothing more. Even the ABS didn't work. Therefore, on the second day the tires paid for themselves completely. If it weren't for her, my car wouldn't have a face. He would still be guilty.

As for handling on wet asphalt and aquaplaning, I can’t say anything yet. I didn't ride in the rain.

Here some wrote that going into the dirt is absolutely no-no. Scared. I was in a village after rain, there was no asphalt there at all. Carefully, but drove along the street everywhere. Without fanaticism, of course. The car is also not conducive to dirt.

So far I have only positive emotions from the tires.

I hope it will last for a long time.

Today we are looking at top-end summer road tires from the Japanese concern Toyo. The tread pattern of this tire speaks for itself - an honest highway with no aquaplaning effect, and a speed index of 210 km/h. Rubber is in great demand and occupies one of the leading places in the “comfort” class category. It has been repeatedly tested by German and Russian magazines, where it received high marks from experts.

The tread pattern is purely rain, which has been repeatedly noted by users who were amazed at the car’s behavior on a wet road. The tires are soft due to the increased silica content. Well, this is a new product for 2013, the model is quite new and is definitely worth paying attention to when choosing summer tires. Photo of tread pattern:

Brief characteristics

• Diameter - R14, 15, 16 and 17
• Tire width from 175 mm to 235 mm
• Profile height from 40 to 65
• Speed ​​index 210, 240 and 270 km/h

The most popular sizes on sale are 195/65/R15 and 205/55/R16, the average price of a tire in these sizes is 2900 rubles and 3400 rubles, respectively.

Tire tests in 2014 and 2015

In 2014 and 15, the Toyo Proxes CF2 was tested repeatedly by reputable automotive magazines. The German magazine Gute Fahrt gave it a high rating of “good”, noting good rolling (gasoline savings), softness and comfort of the tire, as well as clear steering and confident behavior on wet roads.

The Russian magazine "Behind the Wheel" conducted a test in the summer of 2015 and this model took a confident 3rd place, losing a minimum of points - the second place was taken by Hakka Green from Nokian, and the first place was taken by the 5th Premium Contact from Continental. The gap from the tires after the top 5 was really large both in terms of braking and other indicators.

Judging by the tread pattern and the tire modifications released, we can conclude that the tire was created for comfortable fast driving. The size range is really huge; there are Suv modifications for large and heavy jeeps.

Driver reviews

For 2 years, people have tested the Toyo Proxes CF2 soft road tire quite a lot, the tire turned out to be simply excellent, which is reflected in user ratings. So, for example, on Yandex Market, with 90 reviews (which is a lot), the average rating is 4.5 points out of 5 possible. Very high score, the drivers were satisfied. Let us summarize here all the pros and cons that drivers noted:

First of all, the low noise level is noted; Toyo outperforms many tires in this regard. The tire is soft and comfortable, absorbs minor road irregularities perfectly. At high speeds the tire actually rustles. Real comfort.

Average wear resistance - they last from 30 to 60 thousand kilometers, enough for an average of 3 seasons.

The absence of hydroplaning is a very high threshold for the “start of sliding” on a wet road. Up to 160 km/h it confidently handles any road, including wet ones. All thanks to the tread pattern and 4 wide longitudinal grooves, which perfectly squeeze water out of the contact patch. The tread is pure rain, the tire was specially designed for comfortable driving on wet asphalt.

The “tanning” threshold is quite high, so you can change your shoes for winter a little later and switch to “summer” a little earlier. At a temperature of 0 degrees it remains soft and does not tan.

It’s grippy on the highway, holds its course well, and in some sizes you can feel the ruts, so this can only be determined by experience. Optimal for long, long-distance driving at speeds up to 160 km/h (and you don’t need more, right?).

The sidewall is a little flimsy, so if you like “checkered” roads, take one with a low profile, fortunately there is a choice. In general, many note that specifically for this model you need to take a low profile - 45, 50 for “civilian driving,” 40 for aggressive driving. (Although the tire is not suitable for such driving, there are many other cool sports models) Profile 60 and the car begins to really float on the road and even increasing the pressure in the wheels does not help.

Leave your reviews on this tire in the comments, what you noticed about the pros, cons, and your feelings about this Japanese tire. In general, this is definitely a testable model, optimal for average speeds up to 150 km/h, and is great for long trips in complete silence and comfort.
