Right, I need two new tyres and have currently got Uniroyal rainsports.
I can get Toyo proxes for cheaper than the Uniroyals but is it worth getting the Uniroyals for the that little bit extra?
.
Also how bad are Nankangs? as four are only a bit more than 2 proxes .

Nankangs don't have ditchfinder as a nickname for no reason...
Other than that, I can't help.

Il pass on them then.
Uniroyals worth paying extra for? Car rarely gets driven in the wet if that makes a difference
Any other tyres to look at in 195/45/15 ?

toyo's are very very soft tyres. theyre ok just not that amazing. seem to be internet popular rather than driver popular.

My Toyo's can't even keep my 105ish bhp 1.4 Sport in line whereas Kumho's could keep the XSi 16v in check no problem.

T'was on pretty shitey roads, but also a slight incline, and general abuse I'm perfectly aware of how to put the power down before anyway says that, but my point is with less power, and more weight, they are still worse than Kumho's I had!
