Default need proxies and mytyres not seling em!

mytyres.co.uk not got proxies in my size on the site

i cant wait till theyre back on there cooz i need a pair for the MOT

are there any other reasonably priced tyres worth getting from them that will work well with the proxies ive got on the back (brand new) or should i find a local dealer thats got proxies and cough up over the odds for a pair?

is it a good idea to have 2 T1-S and 2 T1-R?

i assume its better to have 4x T1-S?

if not, would i be better off just getting a pair of the new T1-Rs, and if so should i bung em on the front or back? im finding traction fine on the T1-S unless its wet, then itll light the wheels up when power's applied in anger
