165/50 R15 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Toyo Proxes TR1 rated 80%

while driving a Perodua Kelisa

Using Toyo Proxes TR1 165/50/15 made in Japan for a Perodua Kelisa since 2023, I have driven it for more than 20,000 km. I feel confident in both dry and wet conditions. Braking distance is shorter and cornering is sharper. However, the tire wears quickly. Maybe lower treadwear. I would buy again, but research on Kumho, Falken, and Yokohama made me think again.

This tire is a good to use but not the best, noise still hearable.

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 tyre worn. Thanks

Writing about the Achilles ATR K Sport rated 0%

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

Writing about the 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.
