Driving on mostly motorways for 1100 average miles
DO NOT BUY . 1100 MILES OF DRIVING AND NEED REPLACED . I drive a 2002 vw bora 1.9tdi . No wheelspin , no fast driving , no chucking it round corners . Bought 4 June/ July 2018 . Fitted onto new wheels 5th August 2018 . It's 26th Sept 2018 and I now need to go replace the two front tyres. Already down to tread wear indicators. £72 ish per tyre I paid . Would have been better off with part worn tyres . Would have lasted longer .

when I first bought these tyres, they were so much quieter and grippier than the continentals that were on the car but after a while I noticed how fast they were wearing, i do drive the car fairly hard and found the sidewalls far too soft for quick cornering especially on a heavy front ended front wheel drive diesel. They also seem very prone to leaking a few psi which again increases the sidewall flex. Ive had better tyres that cost less. The car hasnt got any worn bushes or poor geometry either

Writing about the Toyo T1R given 80% (205-55-16-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 average miles
Whilst my car, a 130bhp VW Bora Diesel, isn't really going to test the limits of what's possible with tyres, I daren't buy cheap tyres - So I shelled out a relatively acceptable fee for a set of Proxes T1-R about a year ago.

I fully accept that I haven't picked the best tyre for longevity on a 21,000 mile per year commute - but seeing as I've lasted nearly a full year on these tyres I'm not going to complain.

They definitely have their drawbacks - the tread pattern isn't very quiet, and now they're getting below 3mm, the noise is transferring into a dull roar at motorway speeds.

In the dry, the grip from T1-Rs is second to none, they hang on well after the floppy comfort suspension of a 12-year-old family hack would rather they didn't. Their grip in the wet starts off well enough, but predicatbly they start struggling when they're getting low - as I'm finding out now.

These tyres also struggle massively in snowy/icy conditions. I know they never claim to be a winter tyre, but I found myself stuck in polished snow twice last winter.

The bottom line is: my next set of tyres aren't going to be proxes, because I want a set of tyres that last a bit longer, and are a bit quieter - but if I had a more... car-ish... car then I would order my next set of proxes ASAP!

Writing about the Nexen N3000 given 63% (195-65-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 32000 average miles
Use for 32000 miles. All bold on edges. Been swapped front / rear twice still have 4 mm in the main area. Could do with more grip and that's with a 100 bora tdi bora, the torque over whelks the tyre when cornering and on the go pedal. Not to bad a tyre , but for a budget tyre , I was told they are. Weaker on the edges.
