The TOYO tire company was founded immediately after the war, in 1945. Ten years later, the company entered the leading position in the Japanese market and began active expansion to the American continent, opening its first branch in California. The developed technology of computer simulation allowed in the late 80s of the last century to significantly squeeze out rivals in the world market.
Today the company produces tires for special equipment and passenger cars of middle and higher classes. The constant introduction of advanced technologies allows the brand to maintain its leading position in the market. In our review, the best rubber of this brand will be presented.For greater clarity, the rating was carried out in the four most popular tire categories.
The best TOYO winter tires
For Russia, winter is a common thing (with the exception of the southern regions), but it usually comes suddenly. It is very important to install winter tires on the wheels of your car in advance so that the onset of the elements cannot take you by surprise and change all plans. Below we will consider the most popular tire models for this time of year, which are offered by the Japanese brand Toyo.
3 Toyo Snowprox S954
Country: Japan
Average price: 8 900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
The Velcro winter tire was designed for the weather conditions of central Europe and is designed for cars of the middle and premium segment. The tire size range starts with R16 and has 82 modifications. The special asymmetric tread pattern guarantees effective braking performance in all conditions, including wet roads and rolled snow. The configuration of voluminous sipes and the presence of wide drainage systems ensure reliable handling of the car and avoid hydroplaning, as well as slipping of the clutch on ice slush.
Having chosen this Toyo model as winter tires, the owners are generally satisfied with their purchase. For city trips, the Snowprox S954 is the best fit - they provide reliable contact with the road, and at the same time they work quite quietly. The reviews also note confident maneuvering and cornering stability. These characteristics were achieved thanks to rigid blocks in the shoulder area of the tire.
2 Toyo Tranpath S1
Country: Japan
Average price: 5 950 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Great tires for SUVs.Despite the absence of studs, the tires provide reliable traction and confident maneuvering in city driving. This is achieved through a well-thought-out tread configuration and a rubber compound, to which a silicone component was added, which maintains the softness of the tire at low temperatures.
The Toyo Tranpath series has about 50 dimensional modifications, of which the greatest demand is for rubber with a radius of R16 and R17. The owners appreciate the stability of the tires on wet pavement, they confidently "row" through the snow and ice slush. On slippery surfaces, the grip slips in places, but the rubber is actively trying to hold on. Also in the reviews noted the high strength of the tire. The disadvantage of the owners consider the reduction of contact with the road at high speed. At first, the car begins to scour weakly, and this happens even on clean asphalt, and if you do not slow down the gas, then at 120 km / h it can break into an uncontrollable skid.
1 Toyo Observe G3-Ice
Country: Japan
Average price: RUB 5,032
Rating (2022): 4.8
This studded tire has a number of advantages over its counterparts. It is made with Microbit technology (nut shell particles in the tire tread increase grip on ice), which determines the effectiveness of the tire in winter road conditions. The drawing of the working part is directional, and helps to maneuver confidently. The broken sipe configuration, developed using computer analysis, ensures a low noise level when the wheel rotates.
Of the 132 modifications, tires with a radius of R16, R17 and above are in the greatest demand. it is these dimensions that correspond to the disks of cars of the middle and premium classes.Owners in their reviews positively assess the low noise level, which is rare for winter tires with spikes. Toyo Observe overcomes water obstacles calmly, maintaining confident grip even in deep puddles. Drivers also note fuel economy and a secure fit of the studs, which, with careful driving, can be fully preserved for the next season.
The best TOYO off-road tires
The Toyo tire brand's products in this category combine the comfort of premium rubber with confident off-road performance. Such a symbiosis was obtained thanks to a unique technology for developing a tread pattern and an equally well-thought-out composition of the base raw mixture from which the tire is made.
2 Toyo Open Country A/T plus
Country: Japan
Average price: RUB 5,605
Rating (2022): 4.9
The all-road summer tire has a reinforced structure and a special rubber compound that increases the traction characteristics of the tire. Excellent acceleration dynamics was obtained thanks to the variable tread pitch. Together with a rigid sidewall, it provides excellent maneuverability and flotation on various soils. There is enough silica in the rubber compound to provide not only good grip on wet roads, but also low rolling resistance.
Also, Long Life polymer modifiers have been added to the composition to prevent too rapid wear. In addition to all these characteristics, when the wheel is running, this tire produces quite little noise, being the most comfortable in its class.Owners who had the opportunity to test Toyota Open Country tires in different operating conditions note in their reviews the confidence of rubber on any surface. Its comfort and good directional stability are highly appreciated. Tires with a radius of R17, R18 and above allow you to race along the track, completely ignoring small pits and not being afraid to get a "hernia" on the wheel.
1 Toyo Open Country M/T
Country: Japan
Average price: 7 060 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
One quick look at the brutal tread of this all-season tire is enough to make a choice in its favor. It overcomes snow, mud and stony soil perfectly. With low tire pressure, the sand dunes won't be able to stop her either. Rubber this year celebrated its anniversary - 10 years since the first batch of tires was produced, which immediately became a real hit in the world of tires.
The unique traction performance, designed for deep off-road, also looks good on the highway, but owners prefer to use the Toyo Open Country M / T exclusively in natural conditions. Reviews describing the operating experience are literally surprising, here are just a few of them:
- Passed 30,000 km. Wear is not visible to the naked eye - the tire is like new;
- To say that a strong sidewall is not enough, it is simply made of metal;
- It comes out of a deep rut through the mud like on asphalt.
In addition, the rubber is easy to balance (when installing counterweights on R17 - R18 wheels, their weight did not exceed 45 grams), and, despite external aggressiveness, it behaves quite quietly on asphalt.
The best TOYO sports tires
For thrill seekers, TOYO Tires produces a fairly wide range of tires, among which there are tires for racing tracks. Below are the best rubber options in this category.
3 Toyo Proxes T1-R

Country: Japan
Average price: 4 149 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
This high performance UHP tire is ideal for vehicles with a sporty character. The tread has a directional pattern that provides confidence on the road combined with a comfortable operating mode. Hydroplaning is practically absent (when wear is not more than 40%) - even in large puddles, water from the contact patch is instantly removed through wide and capacious grooves, which ensures excellent wheel fixation on wet asphalt.
In their reviews, owners praise the tire's handling and confident grip on any road. Despite its comfort, the rubber is quite hard. Some lower the pressure in the tire, but then the outer part of the tread wears out quickly.
2 Toyo Proxes STIII
Country: Japan
Average price: RUB 5,213
Rating (2022): 4.8
A bright example of a new generation of sports tires, the Toyo Proxes STIII delivers excellent directional stability and confident grip on wet roads. The side blocks of the tread have a slight slope, which reduces the length of the braking distance and increases the life of the rubber. The pattern of the working part of the tire is quite aggressive, resembles an arrowhead and is made in compliance with the rules of symmetry.The high-speed characteristics of this tire are also provided by multi-wave sipes, which delay the displacement of the tread blocks during acceleration.
Reviews are quite numerous, and in essence, most are positive:
- Confidently holds the track, both dry and in the rain.
- Short braking distance;
- Wears out very slowly;
- Responds well to steering wheel movements.
Among the shortcomings, the noise of the tire is noted, which disappears after the tire warms up. Running-in at the beginning of operation is an important factor affecting the properties of rubber and its life.
1 Toyo Proxes R888R
Country: Japan
Average price: 7 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
This race track summer tire can also be used on public roads. The tire warms up quickly and is able to give its owner a unique feeling of high speed and perfect handling. It shows maximum efficiency on dry pavement, but the grip is just as confident on wet pavement, but you should avoid getting into puddles. It doesn't skid on start-up and accelerates the car instantly.
Among amateur riders, the tire is considered the best low-profile tire for city races. Traditionally, tires with sizes R17, R18 and above are in demand, because it is possible to confidently accelerate to high speeds only on such “skating rinks”. It is perfectly balanced, with virtually no rolling resistance. In the reviews left, the owners express complete satisfaction with the characteristics of Toyo Proxis. Despite its exceptional softness, the tire has moderate wear, which makes it more popular among buyers.
