    It’s not until I looked at the reviews of the proxes that the performance wasn’t very good. Just saw cheap and thought I’d jump in head first. Looking likely I will be getting the hankook prime 3’s now.

    They’re absolute crap I don’t know why some people rave about them.

    So regardless of budget, what's the best summer tyre you can get in 195/45/15?

    I've currently got 195/50/15 ns2r on my build but they are just too wide, they rub on the Gaz rear coilover, so to clear that I used a spacer and rolled the arch but it still running, so I need to go down to 195/45 now.

    Rainsports are a solid choice although I'm sure there's better options if the car never sees standing water. Just not sure what comes in 195/45.

    Toyo T1Rs aren't that bad if on a light car, with 100bhp and if used on the road in the dry. They only become inferior when pushed or you want them to be something other than a budget tyre.

    Rainsport 3s are meant to be good. Old type T1Rs are fine, new ones are meant to be crap. There isn't many tyres available in 195/45R15. That's the problem I currently have.

    Think I'm going to try Goodyear eagle f1s, not cheap but but not that expensive either.

    Not sure if you can get them in the sizes, but Pirelli PZero's are decent imho.
