Default whats a good 195/45/16 tyre ?

I need two for the front, as mine are right on the limit


Anyone suggest a good one, and anyone on here sell them?

tbh not had had proxes t1's but these 4's we have i have been impressed, dry grip is great, when it gets wet tho is when you really notice the grip of these tyres.
