    Default Toyo proxes tr1?

    So needing new tyres for mine all round and was going to replace what was already on the car (hankook ventus primes). But haven’t found a great price for them as I have a tight budget.
    Looking on eBay demon tweeks are doing really good prices on the toyo proxes (similar tread pattern to the hankook) but have read poor reviews. It’s only a road car so are these possibly not suitable for what I need? These are for Astra sport 15s if it makes any difference.

    Thanks
    Richard

    I got 4 new t1r for my nova from demon tweeks for £200 not tried them yet but heard mix reviews. I carnt see them being poor really for a road car.

    I got a pair of T1R's fitted to the front of mine, felt like it drove a lot better, felt more compliant over bumps too.
    Buuuuut...
    I have a 1.0 engine and the old tyres were rock hard, 15 years old, cracked, and nearly bald sooooo.... pushbike tyres would probably have been an improvement

    Tr1 really aint that great, a set of ns2r or ado8r would better suit a higher powered nova.

    Well been looking at reviews on the hankook prime 3 and the toyo proxes cf2 and they seem to be coming out better than the tr1’s with just a few quid between them. Torn at the moment between them.

    Bought a full set brand new but never ended up using them so put them up for sale and struggled for over a month to sell them ended up selling them for £100 for 4 with the stickers still on etc . I just take it by how I struggled to sell them they cant be very highly rated . My partner already had a set on her civic with pro race 2 wheels and said they were shit in the wet.

    I've been looking into these recently, they seem to get poor reviews on heavier cars, as the sidewalls are apparently soft, on smaller lighter cars they seem to get mostly good reviews, although in the wet everyone seems to say they are not great.
