How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
47/100From 5 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Toyo NanoEnergy 2 receives highly polarized feedback, with users generally divided between those who appreciate its comfort and those who find its wet-weather performance dangerously inadequate. While some drivers report satisfactory dry-road handling and ride quality, a significant portion of the user base highlights poor traction and premature ABS intervention in wet conditions.
Pros
- High level of ride comfort
- Satisfactory dry-road grip for casual driving
- Low noise levels
- Good tread wear longevity
Cons
- Poor wet-weather traction and braking performance
- Tendency to squeal during cornering
- Inconsistent handling compared to premium factory-fitted alternatives
- Lack of driver confidence in adverse conditions
Worth knowing
- Users suggest the tire is best suited for small passenger cars rather than vehicles requiring high-performance handling.
- Owners of compact hatchbacks, such as the Fiat Stilo, reported significant dissatisfaction with the tire's grip levels compared to original equipment tires.
