proxes are rubbish IMO, wear out too quick.

Falkens are crap too.

you get what you pay for, more expensive tyres will last longer.

I've done 4k on them now and that's driving enthuastically. (As you can an a 1.2 8v)

Toyos would be on the legal markers if I'd chose them again. If I didn't do so many miles I'd still buying Toyos. I think they're really good tyres.

Oh great they look brilliant, could be made of plastic but so long as they look good From experiance, I did'nt mind Toyos, they didnt last ages but they were good in the dry. I have Goodyear's at the mo, they are pretty good but dont seem any better than the Toyos in the dry, better in the wet though. They are the only ones I have tried, but never heard a bad word about Uniroyals.
