ive just got my cesaro's back from being powder coatred and been tyre shoppin, with abit of lying to other tyre companies ive managed to get these for in my price range
http://www.kwik-fit.com/marangoni-tyre-warranty.asp
they seem to good to be true. i asked about accidental damage and basically if i kerb them cut to cord blow out they give me a new 1 or a % of the money back if the tread is near fooked. any1 had these they must have a bad side coz 4 for £180 is abit cheap for 195/45 r 15's

First of all, it's spelt Proxes.
Second of all, they are AWFUL tyres.
You would be much better off with Yoko S-drives.

Poor grip in the dry, even poorer grip in the wet and stupidly soft compound for a road tyre so they wear out far too quickly.
If they're not three good reasons then I don't know what are

Proxes are fucking shit, I had them on the front of my corsa and it would slide on every corner, massive difference when I got goodyear eagle F1's. Toyos only lasted about 5k aswell! Cheap shit imo.

The Khumo K31 Ecstas Ive go on mine are the best tyres Ive ever bought, and they were exactly half price of the last set of bridgestones I had

all cars act differently, remember.
was pissing down with rain one morning on my way to work.
doing about 15-20mph, turned into a bend and slid straight on. puma characteristic i think because a bloke at work had the same problem when he drove his mum's puma.

Proxes are no good. They were very solf. Didnt give as good a grip as Eagle F1's and only lasted 2.5k miles max.
