well ive been told by a few people ONCE or TWICe to get proxes and its sort of a decent mid-range price too. nankangs ive been told arnt too good in the wet, and well as for the falkens, dont really know much about them..but i like the look of them, and hey, Porsche use them  |

I also beleive i told you nangkangs were shite, memory like a sive  had ns1's on my alloys before, bloody lethal. The proxes are great, so much better than the uniroyals i had on before and still have on the back.
edit: middle one aint a proxe, this one is

Toyo Proxes T1 that is. i quoted a CF1 T1 is a "sport type" and the CF1 is a "comfort and basic type".
anyway, since my alloys arnt the best looking things in the world at the moment, im gonna get some cheapo tyres for a while until i save up enough cash to get a decent set of alloys...then i'll go for a decent tyre. |

Yokohama S 539 on the front – Bridgestone S 03 on the back. Like running on Bostick
Ridgid side-walls are what your after if want to throw it round tight corners |
