Can't get them in that size.

I'm using Pirelli P-Zero Nero tyres.

If I was buying again would go for the toyos.

are the proxies pretty soft? i had always assumed they were more of a summer tyre (not even sure why tbh), are they pretty good in the wet too?

Think Proxe 4 is a more budget one?

T1-R's are £60.00
proxe 4's are £60.70

the T1-R's are the ones people rate right?

very limited options in this size as I found out

Im using Fulda Exeleros. Seem pretty good to me, nice and grippy. Only other tyres Ive had on mine were budgets so cant really compare them to anything else. Thing they were about £75 a corner when I had one changed
