I've Got nothing but praise for these on a FWD car... Ran them on both my old Heavily modded FRS and my standard FRS with great results in the dry and wet... Never tried them in the snow tho..

Got a set on the front of my Fiesta ST. They're alright. Hopefully last a little better than the Proxes 4's I had before. Fronts wore our like fuck and rears still had 5-6mm. And I don't drive like a cunt.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Fine for a non performance car, but they are very cheap for a reason ie because they are not very good.
50/55 series ones have a huge amount of flex in the sidewall, you can feel them lean over on turn in (feels like you have a soft tyre).
I bought an Integra Type R last year which came with 4 almost new T1R's and I took them off they were so bad.
Cold weather (anything under 1 or 2 deg) and it would get wheel spin without any effort eg coming out of roundabouts/bends in 2nd gear, purely down to the tyres not liking cold.
In snow and slush they were horrible, no grip to accelerate or brake, one of the worst tyres I've driven in snow (and I've tried dozens). Switched the tyres over and it transformed it to how my previous Integra's have been. You can really feel whats going on with the tyres in an integra and I was amazed how crap these tyres were.
In dry weather the soft sidewalls give the impression your suspension is soft and vague, not so bad on the lower profiles but 50/55 series are rubbish.
