165/50 15 Tire Review Highlights

Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 71% while driving a Daihatsu Perodua Kelisa
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Im using this tire near a year. For kcar size, i think it is one of the best offered on the market in term of performance. Did some touge run with a fairly tight corner, this tires sticking very well on the road. Maybe a bit soft on the sidewall. Grip on dry very good, but on wet, i never drive fast.. Any tire will slip on wet road even the great PS4. A bit noisy as the tread pattern is like that. Price in the middle. Not too cheap or too expensive. No hesitate to buy again after this, but i may try advan fleva v701 after this tire worn. Thanks

Warm up relatively quickly, they seem to fall off suddenly with alot of heat however. Wet grip leaves something to be desired. I wouldn't run these on a pouring rain day. Dry grip is up there with the best but I think these are perhaps suited for shorter Sprint races

BFGoodrich gGrip rated 74% while driving a Renault twingo
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
I fitted a new set of BFG gGrip's as a 'sensible' all-round choice on a set of 15" wheels (to replace the silly low profile OEM 17" wheels on my Renault Twingo RS133 Gordini). Overall I've been very impressed and can't really fault them on a relatively light and sensibly powered sports hatch. They may lack a bit of feel & feedback, but they are proving hard wearing and haven't let me down or broken grip yet during 'spirited' driving sessions (even in the wet winter UK commuting and near zeroC temperatures). Summary: a quality, sensibly-priced, all-rounder you can rely on, with no major gripes or problems.
