Toyo Proxes C100+
Verified36 reviews
Wet grip limit very low – For everyday use, it is mostly adequate. It is relatively quiet and the wear is good. However, two problems worth noting. The sidewall is a bit weak and very soft. And the lateral grip in wet is marginal. The wet grip issue may need extra attention as the dry performance is good and wet brake is also not bad. You may develop a false confidence with the tyre’s lateral grip performance. Show details
Dangerous in the wet – I bought these when they came on sale and had my first chance to drive them any distance in the wet over the weekend. Starting out (in november so not cold ambient temp) there'd be wheelspin in first and second and even after an hour when they were warmer the car had a 4 wheel slide at one point but thankfully I caught it before going into a barrier. Dry grip is reasonable but wet driving is dangerous and wouldn't recommend them at all. Show details

Do not buy these tyres if you value your life! – Trust me. I have them fitted to our beetle and they are downright dangerous in the wet, providing no grip. They are noisy and unpleasant on the road. Their grip even in dry is very questionable. I would NEVER buy them again. After a couple of very dangerous situations on the road, I'm changing them first thing in the morning if I live that long.

We've found them to be very good – Bought these to replace a worn out set of Pirelli's on the wifeys Suzuki Swift Sport. Found the grip levels to be very good in both wet and dry conditions. They are quiet, track nicely and are wearing evenly. Done 20k on them so far and very happy with them. Show details
Excellent value for money – Got a set of four for our SUV. First thing I noticed was how quiet they are the moment I left the dealership. The following day did a 3hr drive north in the rain; these things stick to the road like glue. Return trip three days later was in dry, sunny weather and again, superb handling. Have only had for a few months so can't discuss longevity but definitely stoked. Show details
Pretty good, really – Despite many reviews here stating that these tyres have poor grip in the wet, I have found them to be pretty good, really. I live in Far North Queensland, one of the wettest areas in Australia, with 2500mm average rainfall per year. Fitted to my 07 Forester, I have never lost traction or spun the wheels EVER.... I don't speed, but I'm a "nippy"… Read more
driver. And I got 60,000 km from the last set...! You can't ask for much more than that. Just replaced them with another full set from Tyrepower in Cairns, who give exceptional service.
Negative reviews
poor grip in the wet – Nice tyre in the dry. These seem to be hard compound, hard wearing, hard ride, so the the trade-off is poor grip in the wet and that's the real test of a tyre. I've lost confidence in them with all the rain we've had, they might need to be replaced early for something softer if it keeps raining, and we have another year of LaNina forecast! These would be a good drought tyre. Show details
Poor grip, especially in the wet – Bought these as part of the buy 3 get 4th free offer. They were newish out at the time so not many reviews but they were recommended by the shop as replacements for the Toyo Teo Plus which had pretty good reviews for longevity. Good: - They do go the distance, and usually with a treadwear of 400 then you should get 40,000km or a little more. I… Read more
had these for 60,000km and that was with mostly driving around town. I could have easily taken them further, but read below for why I didn't! - Strong sidewall for the price - Dry grip seems just like any other passenger tyre
Bad: - Rough ride, really firm rubber compound and did not really matter lowering tyre pressure - Tried various PSI's but didn't change much - ended up sticking between 33-36. - Poor wet performance. If you crawled around a corner or roundabout, then no dramas. - Tyre spin during take off in wet - Quiet at first but then seemed quite loud after only around 10,000kms - Even though the had a few mil left of depth, I replaced them after 60,000kms due to being sick and tired of battling with them in the wet. Not worth the risk.
I believe there are better tyres for around the same price, including the 3 for 4 offer. I would recommend the Dunlop Sport FM800 - although they wear quickly.
Good in a straight line on a dry road – Fitted to a T31 X-trail, ok in the dry but terrible in the wet. I don't drive aggressively, but had to seriously nurse it through corners and roundabouts on wet roads. Stopped on a hill at lights? Forget about it.

Definitely not Toys – Two front Michelin Energy 205 65 R15s started to wear on the inside after 70K. Went to Tyrepower Torquay and was given a thorough recommendation to replace them with Toyo 205/65R15s for $30 less for each. Went on a 600K round trip, mostly at 110K, in hot and then wet conditions and no way you could tell the difference from the super Michies. Road noise, ride, fuel consumption, all perfect.

Good quality tyres – I left a review on the Dunlop Sportmaxx tyres that came OEM on our FG XR6T Falcon in 2012. Once the Dunlop tyres (SP3000A's), we replaced them with wore out, we replaced them with these. It is now on its second set of these. The current set have around 15k on them and they look and handle like new. We got around 60k out of the other set. They… Read more
handle well in the wet and dry, but if you want it to break traction, it will. I also own an FG-X XR6 one tonner cab chassis. If I could use these instead of the Goodyear Cargos that are on it (weight rated), I would, as they are more suited to that type of power output. Would definitely recommend.
Very slippery on wet roads – Replaced 2 rear tyres on a ford falcon 2010 fg , have to agree with a previous poster here very slippery on wet roads. Trade off hopefully high mileage with harder compound . Looking forward to summer Show details
Wears well over time – Have these on a Nissan Dualists and They seem to be lasting and wearing better than than others I’ve used (pirelli, Dunlop, Goodyear). They were a bit cheaper which made me a bit weary, but pulled the trigger based on reviews and have not been disappointed. Show details

Toyo Tyres – I updated tyres on my Toyota Camry to Toyo 205 tyres recently. Im finding them slightly different to the Camry factorie standards, but they drive well to date and were good value on a deal. Ive not had any problems with them and happy overall. Good in all weather conditions. Show details
Great tyre, smooth ride – Good price! Got these for my Toyota CHR 4WD. Ive done 10000 kms now on them. Bought 4, paid for 3 got 1 free from TyrePower. Was a bit worried when I read a couple of previous reviews about the tyres not being good in the wet, but Ive had no issues - thats probably due to being a safe driver & not doing stupid or unnecessary things like… Read more
accelerating hard, speeding, taking corners too hard or too fast. I always drive in Sport Mode in the wet, for added safety! and always slow down anyway, driving as safe as I can to the conditions - tyres will give you so many more kms if you take it easy. In my opinion, people who say these tyres are no good are driving like idiots. I think most drivers think because they have new 4WDs with added safety features they can drive how they like..hello!!!! Thats why people are dying on our roads - too much complacency, way too much speeding & an attitude of Im invincible & It wont happen to me & why is everyone always in a damn hurry!? These tyres have proved good in the wet when I had to pull up sharp, I could feel them gripping the road, they felt very safe to me. I drive on the freeway and suburban. My car tells me after a trip my fuel consumption, these tyres have made my fuel consumption slightly better than the stock tyres - Bridgestone that I only got 30,000kms out of! Theyre quiet in dry conditions, smooth, good on cornering. Ill be getting these again. Ill update later how many kms I get out of these, hoping for 50,000.
Great Mainstream Tyres – My previous set of tyres were Toyo TEO Plus and they served me really well - over 80,000km on all sorts of roads without a single failure of any kind. So when the time came, I picked up a set of 4 C100+ and they perform as well as expected. By now, I have 7,000km on them and they are quite and forgiving. The road feeling can be a bit vague… Read more
compared to some premium tyres. But for the everyday drive, I cannot flaw it. It has been raining heavily for months in my area and I am happy to report they perform really well in the wet even when I had to occasionally drive over standing waters on the motorway. TyrePower sometime has them on sale, which makes them a cracking deal.
Good for the price paid – Pros: Good grid on dry or wet weather so far Petrol wise it's been fairly same or just under perform Bridgestone (original tyre to my car) Unsure of durability as I've only had it for 6 months Good on braking Good on cornering Cons: A bit noisy Show details
My review of the c100 tire 225/45r17 – Bad grip on wet and dry, doesn't inspire confidence. Trips the VSA under any slightly harder accelerations from stand still. And trips ABS when braking. Don't recommend it unless you're a conservative driver. It's quiet and have low rolling resistance though, so that's a plus point. Good wear I guess. Wear is definitely better than those sports tires like RE003 at least. Also cheaper to buy compared to other branded tires of similar specs. Show details
good bang for buck – needed new tyres read a few forum reviews these are grippy in the wet, i wasn't initally sure as i wanted the re003 but these seem to do they job Show details
Very good on dry road and very sliping on wet road special on roundabout!!! – Not there food for the price I was using goodyear and the garage did the redo put 4 new tyres of this brand! i didn’t like at all, but no choose now to change soon! Show details
Great grip, reasonable price! – I purchased these tyres about 2 months ago and so far have been really impressed with the overall handing and performance of these tyres. Have no sound, have great grip on asphalt, gravel and in the wet and so far seem to be very durable. I would recommend these tyres! Show details
Good in dry, average in wet – I purchased these tyres 6 months ago. They were good value and so far are wearing really well. I maintain the pressure at 36psi and I do not use the car at the track. It is my daily drive and I do open road driving on a variety of road surfaces and speeds. They give good feedback, no over or understeer in the dry, pretty good. Okay now what are… Read more
they like in the wet. Well the first time I drove in the wet was after a long dry spell so when the car undesteered and slid at the front, I thought it was just oil/rubbish being washed out of the road. It has since rained quite a few times over the last 2 months (I live coastal) and the understeer and sliding still occurs. It is like the grip just vanishes when the are wet or the rubber has excess silicone. I am now aware of the poor grip in the wet and adjust my driving to compensate for the lack of grip.
They are a good tyre but when these wear out, definitely would not purchase these again. Don't push them in the wet!

Great value for money – Bought these from Tyresales.com.au and had them fitted by a local car dealer. Excellent value for money, great handling and ride comfort. Good on fuel. I regularly check my tyre pressures and keep them at the right pressures. had em for a year and they have barely worn at all. Highly recommended! Show details
good tyre – I travelled 25000 knm with this one. I has better grip and comfort. Its looking nice. Previously it used Michelin tyre(Original tyre) and compare to that tyre, it is cheap, but less durable. I am thinking it can travel another 20000 km and previous tyre can travel another extra 15000 km. Show details
Great tyre – Great tyre with a very quiet and soft ride, good grip and handling on my car. Very happy so far with my choice, and they are great value for money as got 4 for the price of 3 at Tyrepower. Much better than the Yokohama’s that are recommended for my car. Show details
The ideal tyre – After using 2 models of tyres from the Toyo brand being the NanoEnergy 3 and the Proxes C100, I had no problems performance wise and then were replaced after nearly 60,000 kilometres with a full set of Proxes C100+ tyres. About the tyres, they hold up well, grip well on dry and wet conditions like the previous tyres and so far so good, they… Read more
wear well. I have so far travelled 5,000 kilometres without trouble.
For the likes of my car, I find them ideal as touring tyres. I would have gone for Dunlop SP Touring tyres but I stuck with Toyo because they're good enough for my needs.
Highly recommended. And I took advantage of the buy 3 get one free offer that was on at the time of replacement.
Good Value for money – A friend mechanic recommended me those tyres. I had 4 brand new ones installed on my Kluger. Quiet and keep the vehicle stable in dry, very hot and wet conditions. Noticed a slight fuel efficiency too. Make sure you rotate them every year to ensure longevity - will save you heaps in long run. Show details
Long life – These tyres have been on my car for almost 2 years they still look new after 30000 kms. I believe I get good economy from the vehicle and it handles well. Also the road noise is minimal compared to the tyres on the car before. I would buy these tyres again for my car Show details
Excellent – We recently purchased new tyres for our 05 R8, toyo proxes, absolutely delighted with the quality and performance. Will be sticking with Toyo tyres in the future, priced extremely well, and overall quality is excellent. Just about to put them in the work van will let you know how they go... Show details
Longer Term Review – I bought a set of these to replace a set of Dunlops on my Prelude. Much better comfort wise and handling is neutral. Wearing alright. Only bought these because have had very positive experiences with Toyos in the past. However these are made in China now so not sure what the quality will be like long term. 5000ks so far and no real faults as long… Read more
as car is aligned properly and pressures are adjusted accordingly. 10,000Ks in tires are rubbish in the wet! Regardless of tire pressure adjustment, car gets slippery. Please be aware.
There is no differance around the city to the best tyres on my car – I really like these tyres, they are quiet, get rid of road laying water through their large channels, the noise in the cabin is quieter with these and I like the look. Now higher end sports tyres can be purchased however around town no one would notice as we arnt holding corner speeds like on a track Show details
Great tyres n service – Good tyres n tread cheap n good grove in them is excellent for all weather conditions Will get again Recommend 4 all to try them n u will save money on petrol Best buy I have done on tyres in a long time since I've been driving Keep it up Show details
Great tyres – Recently put a set of these on our Suzuki as replacement for original tures which had worn out.Super quiet and smooth ride.The car seems to absorb the bumps better now.Hopefully they will last as long as the original Yokohamas (50,000 k) Always thought very highly of Toyo tyres.Had various models on cars over the years. T Show details
Dangerous – Bought a used Focus RS mk2 this year and came with these tyres fitted. Truly awful, especially in the wet. I know my car is a performance hatch with fwd but these tyres have zero grip in the wet and even in the dry I can't get any decent acceleration in first gear. Don't buy them Show details
Highly recommended – I received their service the staff was very professional and know how to work
