Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Toyo Proxes CF2 is widely regarded as a high-value, well-rounded touring tire that excels in comfort, noise reduction, and wet-weather performance. While a small subset of users reported issues with premature hardening or structural cracking, the vast majority of drivers praise its predictable handling and impressive longevity, often comparing it favorably to more expensive premium brands.
Pros
- Excellent value for money compared to premium competitors
- High levels of ride comfort and low road noise
- Strong wet and dry grip with predictable handling
- Impressive tread life and durability for daily driving
- Low rolling resistance contributing to fuel efficiency
Cons
- Reports of rubber hardening or cracking after 2-3 years in hot climates
- Soft sidewalls can feel less precise during aggressive cornering
- Requires a significant 'scrub-in' period to reach peak grip levels
- Occasional reports of structural failure or premature wear on specific vehicles
Observations
- Users with compact cars (e.g., Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris) frequently report significant improvements in ride quality and noise levels over factory-fitted tires.
- Drivers of older or lighter vehicles often highlight the tire's ability to provide a 'predictable' and 'fun' driving experience, though some note that the soft sidewalls are less suited for high-performance sports driving.
- Owners in hot climates (e.g., Greece, Cyprus) noted that the rubber compound may be prone to premature aging or cracking compared to temperate regions.
The Yokohama BluEarth E70 is a polarizing OEM tire frequently criticized for high road noise and a harsh ride quality, particularly on Subaru XV and Mitsubishi Outlander models. While some users appreciate its longevity and predictable handling in dry conditions, others report significant concerns regarding wet-weather grip and a noticeable decline in performance as the tire ages.
Pros
- Excellent tread life and durability
- Predictable handling in dry conditions
- Strong fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance
- Capable performance on light dirt and gravel surfaces
Cons
- High levels of cabin noise on various road surfaces
- Harsh ride quality and lack of comfort
- Inconsistent or poor wet-weather traction
- Significant performance degradation as the tire wears
Observations
- Subaru XV owners frequently cite this tire as a noisy OEM choice, often leading to early replacement despite remaining tread depth.
- Users of SUV/Crossover models like the Outlander PHEV report that the tire's stiff sidewalls transmit excessive road feedback, which some find unsuitable for family vehicles.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
